Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you!--Crossmr 22:18, 11 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Constitution Project edit

Please see this edit to see how to get properly formatted automatically sorted sources. Remember, external links only have single brackets around them. Double brackets are exclusively for internal links within Wikipedia. - Mgm|(talk) 12:53, 22 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Did you know edit

  On 1 December, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Nicole Seligman, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

About the Deptartment of State section edit

Hmmm...it looks good, but I need a checks and balances sentence somewhere. Checks and balances is vital within the United States of America, even if popular media corporations like AOL Time Warner and News Corporation communicate otherwise. Actually, U.S. Department of State tasks almost always concern checks and balances, to ensure proper communication and safety in domestic, national, and international politics between the United States of America and other entities that co-interact. Once you put the checks and balances within the Department of State, then I will be content. Well, terms and conditions aside, thanks for making a resolution. -PBui44 02:34 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Karen Kornbluh edit

My main issue us that the person does not seem to be overly notable to me as per WP:NOTE. I am not sure if just working in politics for some other famous people is a justification for the article. The references cited are mostly press releases, articles by Ms Kornbluh, or a brief mentioning in other articles. There is not really one major piece that is primarily about her. Do you have any books or newspaper articles that are written primarily about her? I still would like the tag to stay and someone else to look at it. -- Chris 73 | Talk 07:56, 16 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Kellenberg Memorial High School edit

Ok, so the reorg looks good so far. I have some more specific advice:

  • Enclose your references in <ref></ref> tags and think about using the {{cite}} template
  • Single sentence paragraphs should be combined
  • Overall flow could still use some work
  • Still needs improvement on WP:NPOV and WP:NOR, for example the sentence "Because of Kellenberg's extensive extracurricular offerings, students call it 'the school that never sleeps.'" would be considerred original research.
  • Pictures of the school, Grounds, and Students
  • More information on curriculum and student activities
  • Particularly notable alumni (if there are any)

Hope this helps, the article looks a hundred percent better than it looked before. Adam McCormick 05:11, 27 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Raul Grijalva edit

Just a reminder to watch your tenses when you are writing. The entire part you wrote about the Obama was written in the past tense. It is still ongoing, thus it should be written in the present tense. Thank you. Cometotheseawithme (talk) 05:43, 22 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of NewSchools Venture Fund edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on NewSchools Venture Fund requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. MikeWazowski (talk) 22:07, 21 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
