I have found an article that appears to be entirely copied from another website. Are there tags that I can mark this article with that say "This article might be plagarized" or something of the sort? What else can I do? KevinPuj 19:31, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Yep! See here for instructions. Henrik 19:36, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Here is a list of template messages that can be put on pages. As you can see, there is quite a few :). As for the user boxes, they're found here. BTW, I rather liked your message, any special reason why you deleted it? Henrik 20:05, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

No problem! The most common way of using talk pages is to put new messages at the bottom, under a new section - which you can create like this: == title here == . (Or just click the little "+" at the right of "Edit this page", to create a new section). Also, the preview button is really useful for seeing if your formatting looks OK :-) Henrik 20:14, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

CBYX

After High School, you'd have to apply for the Young Professionals Program, which is run by CDS International. I have no experience with that program, so I'd be the wrong person to ask. --JohnDBuell 01:53, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

More Languages Userbox

Nope, I didn't make that one, but you're welcome to have any of my userboxes :-) --Rory096_(block) 00:38, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Iraq and the War on Terrorism

Wikipedia:WOT is up for vote now. Rangeley 15:11, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the compliment on the content of my user page; it's all quite old, in fact, I haven't updated it recently... I do what I can, glad you like it. JesseW, the juggling janitor 02:43, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

more thanks --- this time for cleaning up the Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology article.  :) stolenbyme 02:00, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for your revert at Iraq War. That specific user has a bit of an attitude problem I think. Rmt2m 23:40, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

It looks like someone is using multiple IPs to avoid running into the 3RR at the Iraq War. Rmt2m 22:31, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Corrections to TJHSST Article

The section name has been changed to "Tenure" because the "retirement" of Elizabeth Lodal isn't deserving of a full section, and in any case, this section talks about much more than her "retirement."

If you want to put in the unsubstantiated stuff implying some connection between her retirement and the special interest complaints she received for stating the simple fact that all the students involved in the biggest cheating and theft scandal in the school's history were from families of Asian background, then the article has to have the facts itself included. In my opinion, it would be better to leave it as I have now edited it, with neither the misleading linkage nor the fact about the theft ring in the article. They are not important points in the overall life of the school. See the several points to this effect in the TJHSST article talk section.

Speaking of...

There is another discussion about the WoT and Iraq, which you may or may not want to check out: [1] ~Rangeley (talk) 02:40, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Clinton Article

Hey thanks for adding a reference. Just to let you know I have moved that sentance and the reference to the main article. I agree with the fact itself but its not something that belongs in the introduction. Rather it belongs in the main body of text. If you read the introduction, it does not state that the longest period of economic expansion was the achievement of only Clintons effforts (but rather that the economic downturn happened post 2000, after Clinton left office). As you are prob aware a lot of the major reforms to the economy were actually done before Clinton even came to power, under Bush snr and especially the last few years of the Reagan administration!! But an introduction isnt about who was responsible for who, or what, but rather the key events about the person or his career. It like the phrase "During Clinton's presidency, the world continued to transition from the political order of the Cold War" - we all know damn well Clinton didnt end the Cold War, it was Reagan and Gorbachev, but dealing with the post cold war age was one of the major foreign policy subjects of his time as Presdient. I hope this seems fair. LordHarris 19:27, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Germany on US Map

Hey, thanks for liking the map. I was able to find a map of North America and all I did was erase Canada and place Alaska over the states. I'll see what I can do with the Germany/US map, I have a friend from Europe who mentioned that same thing about trying to comprehend the size difference. I remember hearing once that Germany was twice the size of Wisconsin, but it'd be more fun to compare the size of both countries. I'll get back to you on it. Frank12 02:24, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

--Hey, I made the image Germany_with_US_size.PNG for now. It's not entirely precise, but I used a world map to give a general idea. I'll try to make a larger and more accurate one. Frank12 03:05, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Chaka Marketbridge

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

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

A tag has been placed on Chaka Marketbridge requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Travelbird (talk) 10:29, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
