La Salle Article edit

The joke is that the school trying to censor the site. If this is all they have to worry about then they need to find oher things to do. They are afraid that people will vandalize the page. They are right, people will and there will also be people like myself to revert the vandalism. You should see how often the Monsignor Bonner page gets hit by the Ninja guy and the Chuck Norris crew.

They school is missing the point and the beauty of the Wiki. It self regulates just like the free market. Because people have such polar opposite views the articles will always find their way to the middle and remain NPOV. LaSalle needs to spend a little less time playing big brother considering how much you guys pay for tuition. Anyway, thanks for the note and 5 years from now you will laugh at any drama this is causing at the moment. From what I am reading I picture some idiot up on a stage lecturing everyone about their "permanent record"--Looper5920 03:19, 3 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Help has arrived edit

You wanted some help, here I am! How can I help you? You can ask your questions right here, and I will respond.--Commander Keane 03:21, 6 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

I'm sorry, i had to get off for a moment. I noticed on certain user pages, it has "this person is in secondary school"and other such things. How do i get that?
I think you might be talking about userboxes. Wikipedia:Userboxes has a directroy to find them, and examples of how to use them.--Commander Keane 04:28, 6 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

thank you, i will check it out. sorry about making you wait for so long...

how do i apply user boxes?

I don't mind waiting. To put a userbox on your userpage you just add something like {{user hs}} (that's the highschool one)--Commander Keane 04:44, 6 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

OK, thanks again i have to go now, so don't wait up anymore... It's a school night here in the U.S. *sigh*

Maybe you can read the after school tomorrow. For ideas about how to align the userboxes take a look at some of the userpages in Category:User ubx-5. You can use a table, or the method outlined at Wikipedia:Userboxes--Commander Keane 04:51, 6 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Did you get permission to use the text from http://www.lschs.org/page.cfm?p=14 ? If so, please replace the section. Thank you for your understanding. --James S. 01:54, 8 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Userboxes edit

You have too many userboxes to be worthwhile.

Don't claim to be a Wikipedia official with arbitration power if you are not. Jimbo (not THE Jimbo) 20:45, 9 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Jimbo's page... edit

You do realise that by using Jimbo's page, your name will be seen by quite a few people, right? Even those you might not want to see your name are able to see it. Just thought I'd let you know. By the way, welcome to Wikipedia, and cheers! --LV (Dark Mark) 21:38, 9 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Just making sure you were aware of that. I wouldn't want you to get in trouble with your school's administration. I hope you enjoy your time here at WP. If you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. That's how we learn. See you around. --LV (Dark Mark) 21:47, 9 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Links edit

I am so lazy, I'll put the links here. Matt White 05:16, 18 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

It might be better if the links were on your user page instead of your talk page, so it's even easier to access. Just a suggestion, however. Jfingers88 19:56, 19 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Try this link to the stub types so you can do your recent changes patrolling better with less guesswork. Jfingers88 21:31, 19 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Barnstar edit

Thanks!! Punkmorten 20:51, 19 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hello, edit

You were the first wikipedian to edit my first article, and what I see is all quite likeable. Would you baptize me? Nameme 00:33, 20 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, thanks for the advice with firefox, I will try it. Why do you think I am strange? I just thought it might be fun to ask others for suggestions about my name. Nameme 02:53, 21 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Daniel Gralath edit

Does not fulfill criteria for speedy revert at WP:SPEEDY. I have reverted it.--File Éireann 23:13, 23 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

On the other hand, I have deleted Gagevitis as nonsense, it does not need wikifying! Thanks for your help but check more carefully.--File Éireann 23:19, 23 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia_talk:Censorship edit

A watered-down version of the proposed policy against censorship is now open for voting. Will you kindly review the policy and make your opinions known? Thank you very much. Loom91 13:05, 5 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Parqués article edit

Thank you very much for your corrections. Now, the article has improved a lot. I will add more content to it, now that it is corrected. Maybe someday it gets a best rating on the talk page (It is rated as low quality class through a board game template). Davichito (talk) 17:33, 28 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Re: Nightcore edit

Re your message: Unless you are spelling it differently, Nightcore was last deleted and created protected by Mr. Stradivarius in 2012. A redirect seems reasonable, though there is no mention of Nightcore in the Trance music article so some content related to it should be added. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:12, 13 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Re your message: Not a problem. I was away for a bit anyways. You should also check with Mr. Stradivarius on unlocking the page. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:35, 19 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
