WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS

edit

Regarding you recent edit at Utica HS, see the title of this section. The new consensus to no longer list admin other than the top guy will take a while to implement. Considering there are over 4 million articles on Wikipedia and all the editors are volunteers, this should be simple enough to understand. If you want to be helpful, try removing some from other articles rather than assuming you a brand new editor has all the answers and that experienced editors couldn't possibly know what they are doing.

Your question at my talk page

edit

Hi again. Pretty much I've answered your question above. School articles have guidelines which represent broad concensuses already formed about school article content. They can be found at WP:SCH/AG. The prohabition against using staff names has just recently been extended to include the infobox. As to reason, I would guess maintenece would be why. Staff changes frequently and it has always been the philosophy here that no info is better than wrong info. I am editing from my phone which does not allow me to access my tools. When I get to a PC, I'll send you some links that you will find helpful. Thank you for signing your message but please note that new threads on talk pages should be added at the bottom. Altho Wikipedia is the encyclopedia anyone can edit, there are a LOT of things you need to know to do it well and successfully. I'm glad you asked why. In the future it may be better for a while at least to ask first before editing. Thanks. I'll get back to you in a couple days with that info.

OK thanks! The reason why I didn't talk to you first was because I had some bad experiences with a previous editor in which he didn't listen to a thing I said. (talk) 21:13, 1 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
User:John from Idegon - Where did this consensus happen? Who was part of it? There are thousands of Wikipedia editors who have edited school articles, and there are several dozen -- if not hundreds -- who edit such articles on a regular basis. How many of them were contacted and how were they notified that this decision was being made? Alansohn (talk) 21:47, 1 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Wow. Stevie, my apologies. The user that added the above apparently thinks that your talk page is the appropriate place for him to wage his vendetta against me. He could have at least said hi, don't ya think? Or even better, he could have left you those links I promised you. Sorry again. A good place to take any specific questions you may have is the teahouse, a Q&A forum just for new users. Again, good luck. Any help I can be in your endevour to become a successful editor I am glad to offer. Just drop me a note on my talk. John from Idegon (talk) 19:49, 16 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Section header date ranges

edit

Hi, with regard to this edit, I understand your reason for the change, but your position is based on a misunderstanding--the date range in the section header doesn't imply the series has ended, only that episodes of this season first aired in 2012, 2013, and 2014. If new SpongeBob eps air in 2015, then we would change the header to reflect this fact. Please see WP:TVUPCOMING, as it pretty much covers this.

PM accident

edit

The page probably needs a new subjection titled "accidents" or some such thing. Short of that, though, the recent derailment should probably go under the "cost effectiveness and use" subsection which for whatever reason is where all "recent" information concern accidents and such have been put under (i.e. damage during Hudson's implosion in 1998, major track refurbishment in 2006, rebuilding of Grand Circus Park station in 2014-2015... --Criticalthinker (talk) 11:24, 25 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Dark End of the Street, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Gary Stewart, Pat Kelly and Black Friday. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
