Welcome!

Hello Spartan96, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, some of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a great page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Wikipedia Boot Camp, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!  - ulayiti (talk) 22:51, 2 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hempfield Schools

edit

All the articles you've been creating about the Hempfield Schools are a great addition to Wiki, but they have one important piece of information missing - what country, province, and town are these schools in? Could you please add this to the articles? Thanks! Aelfthrytha 14:39, 3 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Greetings! I see that you have uploaded Image:Hempfield hs.jpg as a picture of Hempfield Area High School.
