Homeschooling project edit

Hello, My name Master Scott Hall (you can call me Scott). I am relatively new contributing to Wikipedia, though I have been a user of it for some time. I am currently soliciting for interest in a Wikiproject that I have proposed on the subject of homeschooling. Before finding Wikipedia, my wife and I were seriously considering, but not quite convinced, to home educate our children.

After discovering the depth, scope, and long-term goals of Wikipedia, as well as the individuals driving it, I am convinced that WP has the potential to revolutionize homeschooling. I am also convinced that home education is the right choice for my family. I have, however, been somewhat discouraged by the oversight of home education in most of the education related projects on WP. There are many potential reasons for this discrepency, but I have resolved to try to do something about it.

Although I personally have very limited experience in building complex Wikiprojects, -templates, -portals, etc., I am confident that the right team can be assembled to tackle these issues. I would like to invite you to join this effort to make Wikipedia the resource for the home education of our children. If you are interested, please visits the temporary project page I have set up. Thank you --Master Scott Hall 00:01, 12 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Update: The proposed project on Homeschooling was met with a very positive response. As a result, the project has been ugraded to an official WikiProject and can be found at WikiProject Alternative education. We have several experienced Wikipedians on board, as well as some new faces. We still need contributors with backgrounds in education, education theory and philosophy, and specific alternative education methods, such as homeschooling, charter schools, and E-learning from both teacher and student perspectives. There is also a lack of quality resources regarding anti-alternative education issues. If are interested in contributing or just have an interest, please visit the project page, or if you prefer, ask us a question. Thank you again, Master Scott Hall 18:49, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
We have several members interested in a WikiProject exclusive to homeschooling. See WikiProject Homeschooling. EvanStalk ||       21:42, 16 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

fairuse image in a userbox template edit

I noticed that you are using a fair use image in a userbox that you created, Template:Hruserbox. The terms of the use of Image:Homestar Runner.png prevent it from being used anywhere except the article in question, and particularly not on userpages. Please see Wikipedia:Fair use#Policy and Wikipedia:Removal of fair use images for more information. I'd ask that you please remove this yourself, as I do not wish to disturb your userpage/userboxes. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 00:50, 7 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Preteens Unite! edit

It has come to my attention that you are a preteen. I am trying to rally all the preteens to try and join this one place where we can be with others who understand us. It can't really quallify for a metapage, but we're still following the rules so we can't create a Wiki Preteen article. User:Wizkid357/Wiki Preteen is our home. So sign up and help bring our unofficial WikiRally Preteen to life! --Julz

Sorry, this was an unofficial welcome, heres our formal one...


WikiRally Preteen edit

I am wondering, are you between the ages of 10-12? If so you are eligable for WikiRally Preteen, and unofficial fork of the Wikipedia Youth Foundation. User:Wizkid357/Wiki Preteen. Our goal is to create a bond between the few preteen Wikipedians. This is to hopefully collaberate with people our age. I urge you to at least take a look at it and add your name. Happy wikiing!

Julz, WikiRally Preteen founder

Hi edit

Hi I just came to say hi because I noticed you are a preteen like me.--Peace, Cute 1 4 u 04:54, 26 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Image copyright problem with Image:GammInformerFebuary2007SSBB.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:GammInformerFebuary2007SSBB.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Bumi.png) edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Bumi.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 14:56, 4 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Template:Hruserbox edit

A tag has been placed on Template:Hruserbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{tranclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 21:28, 9 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
