So we've been talking about Buster running for adminship, but it occurs to me that you would be an ideal candidate as well, particularly because of your work at the Teahouse, assisting newer users, your high percentage of article edits, and your overall happy disposition. I'd nom you too. You should consider it. Go Phightins ! 19:35, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
I was wondering if you could help me fix my additions to my high school Wikipedia page. I wanted to add a section about WATERFORDrama, the school's drama club. However, when I try to add it, it gets taken off. I read the rules and guidelines for editing a high school Wikipedia page and changed parts in my additions so that it meets the criteria. And yet my additions continue to be taken off. Could you help me to make my additions encyclopedia worthy?
{{subst:Help Me-ns}}
My Additions:
The current drama director Shane Valle started directing in Waterford in 2004 and originally only put on two shows per year. Gradually he has increased the amount of shows to about five per school year. Valle was the one to coin the name of the club as being WATERFORDrama. In 2013, Valle decided to end the school year with the spring musical Guys and Dolls, his 31st show directed.
Over 70 shows have been performed since the high school club started. These shows were not easy nor cheap to produce. The rights and royalties that must be paid in order to produce the shows can cost thousands alone. The shows are almost completely student run: lights, sound, set design, house crew, concession, and ushering are all done by volunteers and students. The money needed to produce a show is raised mostly through advertisements, ticket sales, and sponsorship donations. Waterford high school does give an initial budget for each show so that some important payments can be made before other money needed is raised. Of course, in show business one is lucky if they break even on the shows they put on, but especially with some of the smaller shows performed, there is occasionally a slight profit made that will go toward either the next show to be carried out or toward upgrading equipment such as spotlights or speakers.
Over the years as the show popularity increased so did the number of people who auditioned to be in the shows. More people would be casted in the musicals performed as opposed to the plays due to the fact that many musicals have large dance numbers which require a lot of people. Around 35 to 50 people are typically casted in a musical. The number of people who audition to be in the shows changes year to year so sometimes some sacrifices must be made to accommodate a smaller cast.
The most popular show performed by WATERFORDrama, judging by ticket sales, would be the 2012 performance of Les Miserables.

I was curious about the number of sources I need for notability. I have read through all of the Wikipedia documentation, and reliability and quality of the source should not be the issue. I am using Entrepreneur (major publication) and Smoke magazine (major publication) along with an interview of the owner and information from their website.

I was also curious about how the Xavier newsletter came in to play.

I can understand that some M. Henry information is about her and might not be suitable for a Wayne, IL town page, but deletion of the entire section including her holding birthday parties for "Misty" at Wayne School? I dont understand that. Otherbeach ( talk) 21:45, 15 June 2013 (UTC) BJS
The significance is not a birthday party for Ms. Henry, but a celebration of Misty of Chicoteague - the party was for the horse, not for Ms. Henry. Does this make it more significant? You might argue that this belongs more in an article on Misty or Ms. Henry...but this is part of Wayne's history...the link to Ms. Henry and your deletion eliminated all the history...so Misty's history is ok for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chincoteague,_Virginia but not for Wayne? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Otherbeach ( talk • contribs) 16:43, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

You recently reverted an edit to Prairie Grove High School stating individual achievements are not generally discussed in high school articles per WP:WPSCHOOLS/AG). For this particular award, I disagree based on WP:WPSCHOOLS/AG, which also states (in part):
The Presidential Scholars Program is the one of most competitive programs that any U.S. high school student may obtain, limited to 141 students per year, and a rigorous application progress Consistent with WP:WPSCHOOLS/AG, I did not divulge the students name, as it, as of yet, not encyclopedic content until the student is suitably notable.

If you can be level-headed regarding maybe trying to draft rough guidelines for some of the most problematic content we have, which is generally that which relates to subjects which are inherently opinionated, like religion, politics, pseudoscience, etc., I think we could use all the help we could get. The idea at least initially is for some editors to draft one or more proposals, which can then be submitted for review by the broader community. If you would be interested in that sort of thing, and would be capable of keeping a level head, I can't see any reason for you or others not be involved as well.

Hi. I have reverted your redirect of the Emerson article, in order to request an RfC on its talk page. Btw, I reference you in my summary of the dispute, but I don't know your gender, so would you mind my asking what it is, so I don't have to refer to you as "he/she"? And if you'd rather not reveal it, then that's fine too. Thanks. Nightscream ( talk) 18:02, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
Just to clarify, Union Hill did not "merge" with Emerson, only their student bodies did. Union City High School is a brand new high school that replaced the former two high schools.
There was previously a discussion on the disambiguation issue, and it was decided that the Union City High School article would retain that title until someone creates an article on the other schools of the same name.
As for the rest of your message, I base on my position on the reasoning I have given above, and not any personal attachments. I do not have any desire to memorialize either the school or the town. I simply think that the article question should include all of that school's history, including its various incarnations, and should be referred to by its current name. My work on Wikipedia is driven by the site's mission to create an encyclopedia, and nothing else. Wikipedia is not a memorial ( WP:MEMORIAL), nor a soapbox ( WP:NOTSOAPBOX), nor a platform for editors to make a personal point ( WP:POINT), and I've always opposed efforts by editors who violate these principles, most recently explaining this, in fact, to another editor who admitted that his inappropriate edits to another article were driven by a desire to memorialize back in March. Unless you have some evidence or reasoning that illustrates any agenda or bias on my part to the exclusion of other possibilities (like the motive I just expressed), I would appreciate it if you focused on my arguments, and not what you imagine my stated of mind to be. I have a feeling that we're pretty much at the Agree-to-Disagree Threshold, which is why I called for the RfC, and that's perfectly fine. We can acknowledge that we've reached an impasse without questioning each others' motives, per WP:AGF. :-) Nightscream ( talk) 02:21, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

The text was overly long and cranky towards WP, I grant you, but the deletion bothers me because the IP user did have info in there. It wasn't just blathering. Plus, the version revised to was from a user with a stated COI, which makes me want to double-check things.
I'm chronically ill & my symptoms are a bit flared up today (you don't need to reply "I'm sorry" or something, I'm just mentioning a fact that affects my perception), so I might have missed something that seems obvious to you. My illness may or may not let me get back to you quickly, so thanks in advance.

Hey there, my article on Apostolic Thrones is intended to consolidate the information, presently scattered across wikipedia, about who sits on what apostolic throne (i.e. the throne of Peter, of Mark, of James the Just, of John, of Thomas) into one single page. When you reviewed it I was still in the process of creating it and sourcing references. I have now added references to back up each specific point of discussion. I appeal to you with humility and reverence, as a fellow Christian and also as a fellow Railfan (with a great love of passenger carriages, EMUs, tramways, funiculars, metros, and unusual railways), to not seek the deletion of the article, but rather to assist me in it. My knowledge of wiki markup is somewhat limited. If you could help me in a constructive manner by creating on the article a table listing each apostolic throne, the date of its foundation, the name of the current or last occupant, and the date the current occupant was seated upon it, or the throne was vacated (as is the case of the Apostolic Throne of St. John, canonically vacant since 1922, in Ephesus, itself a ruined archaeological site), I would be much indebted to you. May God bless you and grant you many years.
Hello User:gtwfan52 It appears you have deleted the edits I did to a page about a basketball player Patrick Manifold saying it was not using sources and citation? I do not understand as I know the man personally? All the information is 100% true, I even emailed him asking to clarify certain information. I wanted to add a picture but I am not very good with computers and I did my best. I spent hours making those edits and now they are gone? I would love to make this page properly so it was a really good page but I do not know how to do this and I do not often have time to learn. Please help me, you are a great user and very good at Wikipedia, please help me gtwfan52, I will be so upset if the page gets deleted, I have spent so long on it.

Btw, I reference you in my summary of the dispute, but I don't know your gender, so would you mind my asking what it is, so I don't have to refer to you as "he/she"? And if you'd rather not reveal it, then that's fine too. Thanks. Nightscream ( talk) 18:02, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
Just to clarify, Union Hill did not "merge" with Emerson, only their student bodies did. Union City High School is a brand new high school that replaced the former two high schools.
There was previously a discussion on the disambiguation issue, and it was decided that the Union City High School article would retain that title until someone creates an article on the other schools of the same name.
As for the rest of your message, I base on my position on the reasoning I have given above, and not any personal attachments. I do not have any desire to memorialize either the school or the town. I simply think that the article question should include all of that school's history, including its various incarnations, and should be referred to by its current name. My work on Wikipedia is driven by the site's mission to create an encyclopedia, and nothing else. Wikipedia is not a memorial ( WP:MEMORIAL), nor a soapbox ( WP:NOTSOAPBOX), nor a platform for editors to make a personal point ( WP:POINT), and I've always opposed efforts by editors who violate these principles, most recently explaining this, in fact, to another editor who admitted that his inappropriate edits to another article were driven by a desire to memorialize back in March. Unless you have some evidence or reasoning that illustrates any agenda or bias on my part to the exclusion of other possibilities (like the motive I just expressed), I would appreciate it if you focused on my arguments, and not what you imagine my stated of mind to be. I have a feeling that we're pretty much at the Agree-to-Disagree Threshold, which is why I called for the RfC, and that's perfectly fine. We can acknowledge that we've reached an impasse without questioning each others' motives, per WP:AGF. :-) Nightscream ( talk) 02:21, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

The text was overly long and cranky towards WP, I grant you, but the deletion bothers me because the IP user did have info in there. It wasn't just blathering. Plus, the version revised to was from a user with a stated COI, which makes me want to double-check things.
I'm chronically ill & my symptoms are a bit flared up today (you don't need to reply "I'm sorry" or something, I'm just mentioning a fact that affects my perception), so I might have missed something that seems obvious to you. My illness may or may not let me get back to you quickly, so thanks in advance.

Hey there, my article on Apostolic Thrones is intended to consolidate the information, presently scattered across wikipedia, about who sits on what apostolic throne (i.e. the throne of Peter, of Mark, of James the Just, of John, of Thomas) into one single page. When you reviewed it I was still in the process of creating it and sourcing references. I have now added references to back up each specific point of discussion. I appeal to you with humility and reverence, as a fellow Christian and also as a fellow Railfan (with a great love of passenger carriages, EMUs, tramways, funiculars, metros, and unusual railways), to not seek the deletion of the article, but rather to assist me in it. My knowledge of wiki markup is somewhat limited. If you could help me in a constructive manner by creating on the article a table listing each apostolic throne, the date of its foundation, the name of the current or last occupant, and the date the current occupant was seated upon it, or the throne was vacated (as is the case of the Apostolic Throne of St. John, canonically vacant since 1922, in Ephesus, itself a ruined archaeological site), I would be much indebted to you. May God bless you and grant you many years.
Hello User:gtwfan52 It appears you have deleted the edits I did to a page about a basketball player Patrick Manifold saying it was not using sources and citation? I do not understand as I know the man personally? All the information is 100% true, I even emailed him asking to clarify certain information. I wanted to add a picture but I am not very good with computers and I did my best. I spent hours making those edits and now they are gone? I would love to make this page properly so it was a really good page but I do not know how to do this and I do not often have time to learn. Please help me, you are a great user and very good at Wikipedia, please help me gtwfan52, I will be so upset if the page gets deleted, I have spent so long on it. Thank you and I hope to hear from you very soon! Wgw2024 ( talk) 02:41, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
