==schools== |
|||
Just a reminder that I think schools are not one of the A7 categories. For the article on Wichita North High School, it does look as if this might possibly be a copyvio, if you want to check that. '''[[User:DGG|DGG]]''' 19:21, 1 June 2007 (UTC) |
|||
It would have to be deleted at AfD if you wanted to delete it, but I think it says enough to pass. The bias for high schools is that they are often notable, and this does talk about the history of the school rather than merely give directory type information. It needs sources, but it sounds as if local histories would provide them: it's a substantial city. The result of the school discussions was no agreement on the policy page, but in practice the outcome at AfD is that high schools usually are N, junior high schools vary, and elementary schools that they usually are not--unless a really good writer can find something interesting to say. |
|||
First step is to check the web site for copy violations--if it is all or mostly copied, that's a valid speedy.If only some is copied,remove that & see what's left. But even if almost nothing is left it still should be AfD, because someone will defend it. |
|||
Sometimes one judges by how the article looks, rather than the contents, & I have made mistakes that way. The article looks awful, would need wikifying of course if kept--I put on a tag for that. But the subject may be notable despite that. '''[[User:DGG|DGG]]''' 17:25, 4 June 2007 (UTC) |

Hello Teh tennisman, |
|||
Thankyou for voting in my [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Reedy Boy|RfA]]. You will be pleased to know that it has been successful!! Meaning that I, [[User:Reedy Boy|Reedy Boy]], am now an [[English]] [[Wikipedia]] [[WP:ADMIN|Administrator]]. |
|||
It passed with a suprising 47/0/0, and I really am grateful of all your support, and I hope that I live up to your high expectations! |
|||
If there is anything I can do to help you out, please, do not hesitate to [[User talk:Reedy Boy|contact me]]! |
|||
:Yours, |

== Sig == |
|||
This is kind of an experiment. You see, Some people kick in doors instead of asking politely. The thing is, I'm not an admin and I'm trying not to be a [[Wikipedia:WikiLawyering|wikilawyer]] of sorts. The sole reason I'm asking you to change your sig is because I actually believe that signature collections are not what we are here for, and they are nourishing the wrong spirit. |
|||
The fact that there is an according rule is relevant only insofar as it encouraged me to come here asking. Remember: [[WP:PG#The_differences_between_policies.2C_guidelines.2C_essays.2C_etc.|Guidelines are not set in stone]]. If you refused to change your sig, I wouldn't "tell on you" anywhere (it would probably be useless anyway). My aim is to persuade you of my opinion. If I can do that, I'd try and ask other users, too. |
|||
The difficulty is to find the right words, which isn't always easy for a non-native speaker like myself. Again: Signature pages ''are'' relatively harmless, but in my opinion they are among those habits which corroborate the wrong kind of spirit, in my opinion. |
|||
If I can offer you any advice, please do ''not'' change your signature because I told you to. Do it if you want to avoid a minor guideline violation. Or better yet, do it [[if and only if]] you understand why I'm asking. Best regards, —'''[[User:AldeBaer/welcome|AldeBaer]]''' 20:43, 4 June 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:Nice page design, by the way. If you'd like to link your menu images to the according pages, take a look at the code of my welcome page. —'''[[User:AldeBaer/welcome|AldeBaer]]''' 20:47, 4 June 2007 (UTC) |

Another thing: When I first saw a signature with a "sign here" link, I had the idea to sign including a link to [[WP:SIG]]. I then ditched the idea because I was afraid humour wouldn't achieve anything. What's your opinion? Should I rather have signed your page with that link? —'''[[User:AldeBaer/welcome|AldeBaer]]''' 20:56, 4 June 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:Thanks for the design-pointer. With "including WP:SIG in my signature" I meant posting and signing like |

::::Still no luck. Maybe it was excluded for a reason (it would be very easy to abuse this to lure users to bad places etc). I'll try some more tomorrow. —'''[[User:AldeBaer/welcome|AldeBaer]]''' 00:43, 5 June 2007 (UTC) |
|||
I managed to exchange the userspace link for an internal one, so this also works for imagemap. But the edit count and log links cannot be formatted as internal links. As I said, I strongly suspect that the external link function imagemap does basically offer has been disabled for plausible reasons, so I'm giving up for now but keeping an eye open for possible workarounds. I may use my sandbox for other test edits, but [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=User:AldeBaer/sandbox&oldid=136197391 this permlink] stays. —'''[[User:AldeBaer/welcome|AldeBaer]]''' 00:17, 6 June 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:Sorry for taking the freedom to just put my final result in your /Menu page... In the end, it was a really obvious solution, one I should've thought of earlier: I just took the template syntax from {{tl|click}}, which usually auto-puts double brackets around any given target link (as if it were an internal link) and adjusted that tiny bit of code... —'''[[User:AldeBaer/welcome|AldeBaer]]''' 08:29, 11 June 2007 (UTC) |

Dear {{BASEPAGENAME}}, thanks for your support in my recent [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Dfrg.msc|RfA]], it was, however, unsuccessful. I am not the type of editor to be disheartened by such a result, and have gained much experience. If you have anything to contribute by way of improvements or comments, please don’t hesitate to [[User talk:Dfrg.msc|tell me]]. |
|||
I ''will'' run again. Until then, Cheers, [[User:Dfrg.msc|Dfrg.]][[User talk:Dfrg.msc|msc]] 08:28, 8 June 2007 (UTC) |
