Am I misunderstanding something or this is indeed really strange (note author of the edit differs from author of original post)? I used to think that editing of post by another author is not considered appropriate, is it? And while on the same page, does this look appropriate (especially part about "pulling stuff out of...")?

Dear Wikipedian,
This is the first of what will hopefully be a regular notice to help bring together the UK community so that you can be involved in some amazing things. To kick things off, there will be a UK community IRC meeting at 1800 UTC, December 7, 2010 to discuss the future growth and developement of Wikimedia UK. Without huge community support and involvement, the chapter cannot be successful and to get the most out of it, get involved.
For information on the community IRC meeting please go here
More to come about:
Many Thanks

Hi Chris, I know you're busy in RL, and I hope you don't mind me holding the fort at Schools. However, I need your help on a couple of things, so if you can, just tell me who to contact or where to go, or how to do it, and I'll get them organised. If you are able to do them yourself without them taking up too much of your time, so much the better ;) once I have the lists I can get cracking.

i was there in person so i can safely say that it was held in bærum. afterwards i walked from bærum to oslo.(i saw a sign that said welcome to oslo or something in norwegian.)(the person on nrk that introduced the next program said that it was held in telenor arena in bærum. in norwegian of course.) as long as the host city is listed incorrectly it is corrupting my country. please get it changed. i could do it myself but i have other things to do. besides, it would look better if a moderator altered it. please fix these errors. the errors are on the eurovision song contest pages for each country that participated in bærum. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.208.86.142 ( talk) 13:49, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

I think we need to get this page upgraded to Guideline status. Now that the schools project has been revived, it's getting more noticed and people are begining to stuff beans up their noses by deliberately contesting it to game the system, as a few recent AfD, move requests, and demands for the names of pupils to be included, etc, are proving.
It shouldn't be too hard to get consensus to do this, as most of it is based either on existing policy anyway, or age old precedent. Any suggestions? --

Hi,
Thanks for being one of SuggestBot's users! I hope you have found the bot's suggestions useful.
We are in the process of switching from our previous list-based signup process to using templates and userboxes, and I have therefore added the appropriate template to your user talk page. You should receive the first set of suggestions within a day, and since we'll be automating SuggestBot you will from then on continue to receive them regularly at the desired frequency.
We now also have a userbox that you can use to let others know you're using SuggestBot, and if you don't want to clutter your user talk page the bot can post to a sub-page in your userspace. More information about the userbox and usage of the template is available on User:SuggestBot/Getting Recommendations Regularly.
If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me on my user talk page. Thanks again, Nettrom ( talk) 16:31, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi CT. Currently, the talk page for Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Schools/Article guidelines redirects to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Schools. Do you remember me suggesting that we should try to get the guideline essay upgraded to 'Guideline'? Without making a concentrated effort at it, I've started putting links to firm policy where appropriate. At present, general project talk is mixed up with everything else, and sooner or later the effort to upgrade the page will generate some talk on it. Would you consider de-redirecting the page so that we have a stand-alone talk page available for discussions that will ensue on the upgrading? As I don't want to make any interventions that could be considered controversial at this juncture, can we reach a mini-consensus on it? -- Kudpung ( talk) 13:08, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello. Thank you for stepping in on the Despina Vandi page. I was about to talk to an admin myself. There was an actual consensus conducted by four established editors on AIM, which included myself, user:Greekboy, user:Grk1011, user:Imperatore to keep the information on Vandi (my version of the page), provided that some changes were made, which I did. I've tried to explain that to user talk:KatrinofGreece and left them messages, and several other users (from the consensus and otherwise) have reverted him/her, although the user does not respond back and keeps making disruptive edits to the page. This page is constantly being attacked by fans, particularly this user, who take out any and all information going towards a negative view of the artist, thus breaking NPOV. This includes taking out statements sourced by multiple reliable sources (and on occasion even the artist herself), or taking out references for other non-controversial information just so that the reference itself is not accessible, and the addition of unsourced or poorly sourced information. The user is also substituting reliable sources (and mostly recent) with a somewhat unreliable source (and full of other blatant inaccuracies) about the artist's sales, taking out more reliable/prominent sources to make the artist look more successful. One example of this is one of her album's sales which have mostly being sourced as 170k, although 200k claims have also been asserted by some publishers, so I put in both numbers, although Katrin then takes out everything but the higher number. This account is also somewhat suspicious as it makes very similar edits to User talk:Teo628957, speaks in a similar manner, and has been making a lot of edits after the latter was suspended.

Hi CT, the article Royal Grammar School, Guildford is currently up for nomination for GA status. The review is on hold until tomorrow (Thursday 3rd March 2011), and I was wondering if you would be able to have a look over the article, and make any changes you think might help in its nomination. The reviewer SilkTork has left some comments on the review page of improvements he suggests. I think I have addressed all of them, except perhaps for cutting unnecessary detail (and maybe the lead). If you don't have time don't worry about it, but it would be great if you could. Thank you in advance, Glanis Talk 21:08, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

I dont feel like I should be the one restoring the content on the Armenia-Azerbaijan relations in the Eurovision Song Contest article. I agree with you on the content also two other users have agreed on the restoring of the content on the noticeboard. If you would please like to restoring the content I would be pleased. I think the joint feelings for restoring by a number of users are enough to justify a restoring, it has been established that the removal of the content wasnt right. And if you do, could you please just write a short explanation of the decision made by a consensus to user Parishan. Thanks.-- BabbaQ ( talk) 13:20, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I am requesting a reassessment for the Northwestern High School wikipedia article. A few weeks ago, I painstakingly revamped the article... the most noteworthy changes being adding a significant amount of references/citations, to make the article more valid and to comply with Wikipedia guidelines.
After making significant changes, I requested that the article be reassessed, as it had been several years since anyone had taken a look at it despite the fact there had been significant changes made to the article. When the assessment was finally done, the article had been upgraded from a Start-level article, to a C-Class article. I was generally okay with the results... that is, until I recently came across the Wikipedia article for Battlefield High School in Virginia. This school's article lacks many citations, it's not put together well in terms of in an aesthetically pleasing way, and it doesn't have a lot of useful content. Given all that, I was SHOCKED when I found out that not only had the article been given a B-Class rating by the Virgina WikiSchools Project, but the main Wikischools Project, had ALSO given the school a B-Class rating! What?! I don't want to act like the Northwestern article is on the same level as Stuyvesant High School, but it's pretty good. I'm not understanding how both WikiSchools and WikiSchools Maryland, both gave the Northwestern article a C-Class rating, yet, an inferior article such as Battlefield's, gets a B-Class rating.
And there are a lot of contradictions as well, the biggest being the photos issue. The Northwestern article had many photos, all relevant and all high quality. To cut down on the photos cluttering up the article and making it appear messy, I put most of the photos in a Wikipedia format photo gallery. When the article was reassessed, the photos were removed and semi-rude remark was posted, saying something along the lines of "this isn't a website for NHS." Well, that's obvious, but the photos were relevant and not inappropriate. I got over the removal of the photos and let things be... UNTIL I saw the Battlefield article. Battlefield also has the exact same photo gallery that Northwestern had with the exact same picture content, yet, somehow they are allowed to keep theirs and Northwestern wasn't. To add insult to injury, they also got the B-Class rating. So I think that either Battlefield needs to be reassessed and have their rating demoted or Northwestern should be allowed to reinstate their photo gallery and be upgraded to a B-Class article. I think it's only fair. Thanks so much for reading. -- Maryland Pride ... a Wikipedia contributor ( talk) 04:46, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I agree with the name you suggested, I think we could keep the project going especially if he have a few dedicated users and we could try to get more people involved and the first focus could be articles that currently don't come under any project in order to show there is a purpose for the project and then move on to other articles, but there are still many articles that need to be created and I think we can get a universal standard for all articles this way.

There's been some heavy editing at 'Outcomes' in the Education section. I'm sure the bulleted list was made in good faith, but it seems odd that the very first line deals with deletion, while the practiced exceptions are now further down on the list. Anyone being referred to that page to know what is generally practiced will now stop at the fist line and not look further. It seems also as if a large chunk of descriptive material has got lost. Perhaps major changes like this should be discussed first. -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 18:02, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello! Teo is back on Vandi making the same edits and keeps saying irrational things like "you take out sourced content and adding one person's opinion" even though the stronger statements have multiple reliable sources and he is the one that is in fact deleting several other statements not affiliated with the artist's success level (as I mentioned before probably to make that source completely inaccessible). The user has previously admitted they do not have the best grasp of English, as it seems they have absolutely no idea what consensus is every time we tell them there already was one. I still find it suspicious that when Teo stops editing Katrin comes in and vice versa. GreekStar12 ( talk) 22:07, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

I've just been having a look at the File:Bewdleyschool2011.jpg that was uploaded to commons. I'm not an expert on © stuff, but my thought is that if it were a school logo, it wouldn't be the uploader's own work, even if they had redrawn it to the original and digitised it, would it? For one thing, there's no proof that it represents the school's official emblem. -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 12:43, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

This note is in reference to the proposed speedy delete on the Topperman Image [1]
I've edited the Los Alamos High School article to provide more information on the mascot. Hopefully this meets your criteria. I do believe it would be detrimental to the article to remove that image for a few reasons. First, not everyone even knows what a Hilltopper is so that image could be a useful guide. Second, the mural itself was the source of significant controversy in 1996 and it would be extremely useful for individuals to be able to see the mural to assess the validity of claims made about the artwork. I intend to add this content to the article when I can track down verifiable sources. Third, the mural itself has historical significance to the community. Let me know what you think.

Hi CT Cooper. The
Wikipedia Schools Project has set up a dedicated help and feedback page at
WP:WPSCH/H. This is for elementary/primary, middle, and high schools (often called college in the UK). It is not for universities.
If you regularly give advice to users, you might wish to send enquirers there - we are quick to respond. However,
WT:WPSCH still remains the place for general discussion about the management and policy of school articles. --

Hello,
My name is Natalia Olaru and I am a final year master student in the Corporate Communication programme at the Aarhus School of Business in Denmark. I am currently working on my final paper on the topic of the motivation of users to create content on collaborative media websites, the focus being Wikipedia. As a sample I chose the English and Danish portals.
I would like to invite you for an online interview on the topic of what motivates you, as a user, to participate in editing and creating articles for this platform. Your real identity, and wikipedia account will be kept confidential through the paper.
I plan on doing the actual interviews in the period between 6st and the 15th of May via Skype, MSN, Google Talk or Yahoo Messenger. I am, however, open to other channels of communication too.
Please let me know if you would like to participate in this interview and the preferred channel.
Thank you,

OK so there seems to be a little bit of progress with the discussion but I honestly feel like I have proven all my points especially with regards to policy and said everything there is to say. It is very difficult talking to Katrin as it always results in talking in circles or her saying she has proven something with facts when that is never the case. She doesn't seem to care whether things are acceptable according to policy and has failed to show how her arguments comply with policy so I'm not exactly sure where I am supposed to go with this anymore.

Hi Chris. I'm thinking that perhaps the look of the WP:WPSCH could be made more appealing, within the broad developments at Wikimedia outreach, to make help and instruction pages more 'modern'. I thought this looks rather nice (I'm a member of that project), colours could of course be changed. If you think it's a starter, perhaps it should be discussed at WT:WPSCH. -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 08:14, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi Christopher
I am a little alarmed. I got a message that said I'd changed something on Wikipedia ("What Wikipedia is not"), but I did not do anything like that. Did I hit the wrong button by mistake, or might this be connected with the fact that I downloaded and implemented some Windows updates today? I don't share this IP address (at least I hope not - oh dear).
Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Hi. A couple of days ago you blocked User:The Killer Bass as a probable sockpuppet. An article that he had created and which had been deleted has just reappeared, this time created by User:Wikititimit who has an identical edit pattern. The recreated article is Tour of the Europe and also 2011 Tour of the Europe. If you're not sure about these articles, the first one claims it's organised by the UEC but there's nothing even remotely like it on the UEC website here. andy ( talk) 17:00, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

A detailed table and notes have now been created and posted. It compares how RfA is carried out on major Wikipedias (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish). If you feel that other important language Wikipedias should be added, please let us know. This may however depend on our/your language skills!

Hi,
they are quite new articles about Kosovo. And why Libanon and Liechtenstein who doesn't participate may have a page and Kosovo doesn't?
The texts about Kosovo should then maybe putted on one shared page with Liechtenstein and Libanon.

The user Jayebook is at it again trying to put information about the OLD LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL on the current Lincoln High School's article. Drumlinehoss ( talk) 21:00, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
I apologize for taking so long to respond to this message because I just got the email. But I am trying to understand how and why is it working like this. I spoke with the assistant superindent of Leon County Schools of Tallahassee, Florida and my Biggest concern was why was the mascot and school colors changed at the New Lincoln, to make a long story short, I feel as though on the New Lincoln High School page, it Should include "The How" the new mascot came along. Since the information is truthful, I dont see why the information shouldnt be told that way. The Old Lincoln High Mascot is Tiger and I dont understand why Mr. Nims should be mentioned because "Trojan" wasnt its mascot. Another thing according to Leon County Schools, that Lincoln was just re-opened which means (according to Leon County Schools of Tallahassee, Fla.), Its a tie between the two. Jayebook ( talk) 12:17, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
The mascot of Lincoln High School is and has always been the Trojan. The mascot of OLD Lincoln High School was the Tiger. OLD Lincoln High School and CURRENT Lincoln High School are NOT the same school. They are not the same entity. They share nothing but a common name.
Old Lincoln High School is an historic school. It is not a functioning school. Any and all information pertaining to the Old Lincoln belongs on that page, and that page only. Drumlinehoss ( talk) 02:17, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
I disagree with the fact that Lincoln High School page cannot have literature on how Trojan Mascot came about. When Lincoln High School closed in 1969, the next high school to be built was to be named Lincoln, but the mascot and school colors were going to be changed and I feel like that information should be included in the text, so that others can know about the transition. Again, I spoke with personnel from Leon County Schools about this matter and this is the information that was given to me and I know that Leon County Schools would be the Best source to get any information about any county school. Jayebook ( talk) 16:05, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
Yes, that's all I want to include on that page because people should be aware of the movement of Lincoln High School just in case someone has a concern about "Well, how was it Tiger at first and then changed later on." Mr. Nims was the second to the last principal at Historic Lincoln School and there is a middle school named after him, and in place of the New Lincoln (since Nims mascot is Trojans), Leon County School saw that Trojans would be the mascot considering both Lincolns' werent in the same area. Drumlinehoss is saying that Those are two different school BUT according to Leon County Schools, its not. Same issue with James S. Rickards High School of Tallahassee, Fla. with the mascot and school colors, just because those entities have changed, it doesnt depart from its origins (if that makes any sense). Jayebook ( talk) 04:01, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
The only mention of the Old Lincoln High School on the current Lincoln High School's page should be the disambiguation. The current Lincoln is not connected to the old Lincoln. It is not a continuation of it, it is not a replacement for it. It is an entirely different school. The mascot of Lincoln High School was NEVER the tiger. The mascot of the OLD Lincoln was. The disagreement here seems to be whether or not the current Lincoln is a continuation of the Old Lincoln and it is NOT. The only thing they have in common is the name. They do not have a common history, a common mascot, or common principlas as they ARE NOT THE SAME ENTITY. Drumlinehoss ( talk) 01:41, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
The Trojan mascot was picked, not by the Leon County School Board, but by the students of the first graduating class.
Please understand Drumlinehoss, there was NEVER a high school in Leon County Schools called Old Lincoln High. If there was, please inform us. It is indeed a continuation of the Lincoln High School that began in 1869. I have personal information from Leon County Schools to prove my case. Not to mention, people were calling that place Trojanland before that school opened. Jayebook ( talk) 04:41, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Dear Mr Cooper,
I appreciate your comments regarding my update to this users page, but I am wanting to get something sorted regarding the article written about Bethel Church in Mansfield Woodhouse. This article is full of false information and accusations that are untrue. These comments are merely the opinions of a few disgruntled ex-members. We are considering legal action in this matter, however, in the mean time if I can sort this out without doing so, I would like to. The article is biased and has done an extreme amount of damage to the Church I pastor. I am able to provide evidence that most of the content is inaccurate if necessary,however, like I said, I would prefer to have this matter dealt with without going to court. I have already been in touch with people at Wiki who are looking into the matter. I am sure if someone told a pack of lies about you on Wiki, you would want to know who it was. If you can be of any assistance in this matter, I would be grateful, many thanks.

Hi CT, I'm writing with regards to Tony0106, and his outrageous behaviour and disgusting attitude on the ESC2012 discussions page. His manner and tone is unacceptable, and needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency. Are there not Wikipedia policies in place to handle people who are clearly being rude and insulting to other users? Wesley Mouse ( talk) 15:42, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
I'm at the stage of banging my head against a wall now. No matter how simplified I explain things to Tony, or correct his assumptions, or misjudgements, he still twists words around to what he wants it to be, and not what people are actually pointing out; if I had a cyber-red hot poker, I'd be shoving it where the sun don't shine right now LOL. He has threatened once more, to start edit warring as soon as his block is lifted, which I'm sure would be on the verge of vandalism, especially as mediation is in progress. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets an indefinite block partway through the mediation process, which would then bring us to an unresolved situation. I'm going to take time-out when it comes to Tony, and ignore him for now, until the mediation is concluded. Wesley Mouse ( talk) 21:43, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

This is the first of what will hopefully be a regular notice to help bring together the UK community so that you can be involved in some amazing things. To kick things off, there will be a UK community IRC meeting at 1800 UTC, December 7, 2010 to discuss the future growth and developement of Wikimedia UK. Without huge community support and involvement, the chapter cannot be successful and to get the most out of it, get involved.
For information on the community IRC meeting please go here

I think we need to get this page upgraded to Guideline status. Now that the schools project has been revived, it's getting more noticed and people are begining to stuff beans up their noses by deliberately contesting it to game the system, as a few recent AfD, move requests, and demands for the names of pupils to be included, etc, are proving.

Hi CT. Currently, the talk page for Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Schools/Article guidelines redirects to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Schools. Do you remember me suggesting that we should try to get the guideline essay upgraded to 'Guideline'? Without making a concentrated effort at it, I've started putting links to firm policy where appropriate. At present, general project talk is mixed up with everything else, and sooner or later the effort to upgrade the page will generate some talk on it. Would you consider de-redirecting the page so that we have a stand-alone talk page available for discussions that will ensue on the upgrading?

Hello. Thank you for stepping in on the Despina Vandi page. I was about to talk to an admin myself. There was an actual consensus conducted by four established editors on AIM, which included myself, user:Greekboy, user:Grk1011, user:Imperatore to keep the information on Vandi (my version of the page), provided that some changes were made, which I did. I've tried to explain that to user talk:KatrinofGreece and left them messages, and several other users (from the consensus and otherwise) have reverted him/her, although the user does not respond back and keeps making disruptive edits to the page. This page is constantly being attacked by fans, particularly this user, who take out any and all information going towards a negative view of the artist, thus breaking NPOV. This includes taking out statements sourced by multiple reliable sources (and on occasion even the artist herself), or taking out references for other non-controversial information just so that the reference itself is not accessible, and the addition of unsourced or poorly sourced information. The user is also substituting reliable sources (and mostly recent) with a somewhat unreliable source (and full of other blatant inaccuracies) about the artist's sales, taking out more reliable/prominent sources to make the artist look more successful. One example of this is one of her album's sales which have mostly being sourced as 170k, although 200k claims have also been asserted by some publishers, so I put in both numbers, although Katrin then takes out everything but the higher number. This account is also somewhat suspicious as it makes very similar edits to User talk:Teo628957, speaks in a similar manner, and has been making a lot of edits after the latter was suspended.

Hi. I am requesting a reassessment for the Northwestern High School wikipedia article. A few weeks ago, I painstakingly revamped the article... the most noteworthy changes being adding a significant amount of references/citations, to make the article more valid and to comply with Wikipedia guidelines.
After making significant changes, I requested that the article be reassessed, as it had been several years since anyone had taken a look at it despite the fact there had been significant changes made to the article. When the assessment was finally done, the article had been upgraded from a Start-level article, to a C-Class article. I was generally okay with the results... that is, until I recently came across the Wikipedia article for Battlefield High School in Virginia. This school's article lacks many citations, it's not put together well in terms of in an aesthetically pleasing way, and it doesn't have a lot of useful content. Given all that, I was SHOCKED when I found out that not only had the article been given a B-Class rating by the Virgina WikiSchools Project, but the main Wikischools Project, had ALSO given the school a B-Class rating! What?! I don't want to act like the Northwestern article is on the same level as Stuyvesant High School, but it's pretty good. I'm not understanding how both WikiSchools and WikiSchools Maryland, both gave the Northwestern article a C-Class rating, yet, an inferior article such as Battlefield's, gets a B-Class rating.
And there are a lot of contradictions as well, the biggest being the photos issue. The Northwestern article had many photos, all relevant and all high quality. To cut down on the photos cluttering up the article and making it appear messy, I put most of the photos in a Wikipedia format photo gallery. When the article was reassessed, the photos were removed and semi-rude remark was posted, saying something along the lines of "this isn't a website for NHS." Well, that's obvious, but the photos were relevant and not inappropriate. I got over the removal of the photos and let things be... UNTIL I saw the Battlefield article. Battlefield also has the exact same photo gallery that Northwestern had with the exact same picture content, yet, somehow they are allowed to keep theirs and Northwestern wasn't. To add insult to injury, they also got the B-Class rating. So I think that either Battlefield needs to be reassessed and have their rating demoted or Northwestern should be allowed to reinstate their photo gallery and be upgraded to a B-Class article. I think it's only fair. Thanks so much for reading. -- Maryland Pride ... a Wikipedia contributor ( talk) 04:46, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I agree with the name you suggested, I think we could keep the project going especially if he have a few dedicated users and we could try to get more people involved and the first focus could be articles that currently don't come under any project in order to show there is a purpose for the project and then move on to other articles, but there are still many articles that need to be created and I think we can get a universal standard for all articles this way.

There's been some heavy editing at 'Outcomes' in the Education section. I'm sure the bulleted list was made in good faith, but it seems odd that the very first line deals with deletion, while the practiced exceptions are now further down on the list. Anyone being referred to that page to know what is generally practiced will now stop at the fist line and not look further. It seems also as if a large chunk of descriptive material has got lost. Perhaps major changes like this should be discussed first. -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 18:02, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello! Teo is back on Vandi making the same edits and keeps saying irrational things like "you take out sourced content and adding one person's opinion" even though the stronger statements have multiple reliable sources and he is the one that is in fact deleting several other statements not affiliated with the artist's success level (as I mentioned before probably to make that source completely inaccessible). The user has previously admitted they do not have the best grasp of English, as it seems they have absolutely no idea what consensus is every time we tell them there already was one. I still find it suspicious that when Teo stops editing Katrin comes in and vice versa. GreekStar12 ( talk) 22:07, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

I've just been having a look at the File:Bewdleyschool2011.jpg that was uploaded to commons. I'm not an expert on © stuff, but my thought is that if it were a school logo, it wouldn't be the uploader's own work, even if they had redrawn it to the original and digitised it, would it? For one thing, there's no proof that it represents the school's official emblem. -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 12:43, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

This note is in reference to the proposed speedy delete on the Topperman Image [1]
I've edited the Los Alamos High School article to provide more information on the mascot. Hopefully this meets your criteria. I do believe it would be detrimental to the article to remove that image for a few reasons. First, not everyone even knows what a Hilltopper is so that image could be a useful guide. Second, the mural itself was the source of significant controversy in 1996 and it would be extremely useful for individuals to be able to see the mural to assess the validity of claims made about the artwork. I intend to add this content to the article when I can track down verifiable sources. Third, the mural itself has historical significance to the community. Let me know what you think.

Hello,
My name is Natalia Olaru and I am a final year master student in the Corporate Communication programme at the Aarhus School of Business in Denmark. I am currently working on my final paper on the topic of the motivation of users to create content on collaborative media websites, the focus being Wikipedia. As a sample I chose the English and Danish portals.
I would like to invite you for an online interview on the topic of what motivates you, as a user, to participate in editing and creating articles for this platform. Your real identity, and wikipedia account will be kept confidential through the paper.
I plan on doing the actual interviews in the period between 6st and the 15th of May via Skype, MSN, Google Talk or Yahoo Messenger. I am, however, open to other channels of communication too.
Please let me know if you would like to participate in this interview and the preferred channel.

OK so there seems to be a little bit of progress with the discussion but I honestly feel like I have proven all my points especially with regards to policy and said everything there is to say. It is very difficult talking to Katrin as it always results in talking in circles or her saying she has proven something with facts when that is never the case.

The user Jayebook is at it again trying to put information about the OLD LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL on the current Lincoln High School's article. Drumlinehoss ( talk) 21:00, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
I apologize for taking so long to respond to this message because I just got the email. But I am trying to understand how and why is it working like this. I spoke with the assistant superindent of Leon County Schools of Tallahassee, Florida and my Biggest concern was why was the mascot and school colors changed at the New Lincoln, to make a long story short, I feel as though on the New Lincoln High School page, it Should include "The How" the new mascot came along. Since the information is truthful, I dont see why the information shouldnt be told that way. The Old Lincoln High Mascot is Tiger and I dont understand why Mr. Nims should be mentioned because "Trojan" wasnt its mascot. Another thing according to Leon County Schools, that Lincoln was just re-opened which means (according to Leon County Schools of Tallahassee, Fla.), Its a tie between the two. Jayebook ( talk) 12:17, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
The mascot of Lincoln High School is and has always been the Trojan. The mascot of OLD Lincoln High School was the Tiger. OLD Lincoln High School and CURRENT Lincoln High School are NOT the same school. They are not the same entity. They share nothing but a common name.
Old Lincoln High School is an historic school. It is not a functioning school. Any and all information pertaining to the Old Lincoln belongs on that page, and that page only. Drumlinehoss ( talk) 02:17, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
I disagree with the fact that Lincoln High School page cannot have literature on how Trojan Mascot came about. When Lincoln High School closed in 1969, the next high school to be built was to be named Lincoln, but the mascot and school colors were going to be changed and I feel like that information should be included in the text, so that others can know about the transition. Again, I spoke with personnel from Leon County Schools about this matter and this is the information that was given to me and I know that Leon County Schools would be the Best source to get any information about any county school. Jayebook ( talk) 16:05, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
Yes, that's all I want to include on that page because people should be aware of the movement of Lincoln High School just in case someone has a concern about "Well, how was it Tiger at first and then changed later on." Mr. Nims was the second to the last principal at Historic Lincoln School and there is a middle school named after him, and in place of the New Lincoln (since Nims mascot is Trojans), Leon County School saw that Trojans would be the mascot considering both Lincolns' werent in the same area. Drumlinehoss is saying that Those are two different school BUT according to Leon County Schools, its not. Same issue with James S. Rickards High School of Tallahassee, Fla. with the mascot and school colors, just because those entities have changed, it doesnt depart from its origins (if that makes any sense). Jayebook ( talk) 04:01, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
The only mention of the Old Lincoln High School on the current Lincoln High School's page should be the disambiguation. The current Lincoln is not connected to the old Lincoln. It is not a continuation of it, it is not a replacement for it. It is an entirely different school. The mascot of Lincoln High School was NEVER the tiger. The mascot of the OLD Lincoln was. The disagreement here seems to be whether or not the current Lincoln is a continuation of the Old Lincoln and it is NOT. The only thing they have in common is the name. They do not have a common history, a common mascot, or common principlas as they ARE NOT THE SAME ENTITY. Drumlinehoss ( talk) 01:41, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
The Trojan mascot was picked, not by the Leon County School Board, but by the students of the first graduating class.
Please understand Drumlinehoss, there was NEVER a high school in Leon County Schools called Old Lincoln High. If there was, please inform us. It is indeed a continuation of the Lincoln High School that began in 1869. I have personal information from Leon County Schools to prove my case. Not to mention, people were calling that place Trojanland before that school opened. Jayebook ( talk) 04:41, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Dear Mr Cooper,
I appreciate your comments regarding my update to this users page, but I am wanting to get something sorted regarding the article written about Bethel Church in Mansfield Woodhouse. This article is full of false information and accusations that are untrue. These comments are merely the opinions of a few disgruntled ex-members. We are considering legal action in this matter, however, in the mean time if I can sort this out without doing so, I would like to. The article is biased and has done an extreme amount of damage to the Church I pastor. I am able to provide evidence that most of the content is inaccurate if necessary,however, like I said, I would prefer to have this matter dealt with without going to court. I have already been in touch with people at Wiki who are looking into the matter. I am sure if someone told a pack of lies about you on Wiki, you would want to know who it was. If you can be of any assistance in this matter, I would be grateful, many thanks.

There is currently a long and important thread at User talk:Jimbo Wales #Notability of High Schools. This may finally be the opportunity we are hoping for to get any ambiguities cleared up regarding any perceived interpretations of (non)notability. -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 16:28, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
Hello,
Please note that there have been some changes to operations surrounding Eurovision articles, these being that:
{{
WikiProject Eurovision}}
now accepts importance ratings as well as quality ratings, and the project now has a formal
assessment department which gives details on how to assess articles, and provides a place for contributors to request re-assessment. Feel free to add the {{
WikiProject Eurovision}}
template to the talk page of any new Eurovision articles you create.{{
Eurovision-stub}}
. Please only use this on Eurovision Song Contest stubs, with {{
Music-stub}}
and {{
Dance-stub}}
being the appropriate template for other Eruovision contests.If you have any questions, please ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision.

Hi CT, I'm writing with regards to Tony0106, and his outrageous behaviour and disgusting attitude on the ESC2012 discussions page. His manner and tone is unacceptable, and needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency. Are there not Wikipedia policies in place to handle people who are clearly being rude and insulting to other users? Wesley Mouse ( talk) 15:42, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
I'm at the stage of banging my head against a wall now. No matter how simplified I explain things to Tony, or correct his assumptions, or misjudgements, he still twists words around to what he wants it to be, and not what people are actually pointing out; if I had a cyber-red hot poker, I'd be shoving it where the sun don't shine right now LOL. He has threatened once more, to start edit warring as soon as his block is lifted, which I'm sure would be on the verge of vandalism, especially as mediation is in progress. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets an indefinite block partway through the mediation process, which would then bring us to an unresolved situation. I'm going to take time-out when it comes to Tony, and ignore him for now, until the mediation is concluded. Wesley Mouse ( talk) 21:43, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
