Signing your posts

Hi there. 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. If you can't type the tilde character, you should 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! --Orange Mike | Talk 02:11, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

We cannot tell the future

Wikipedia is not a place to put speculation about projects that may or may not come to pass. If a school is built, then it may become notable enough to have an article written about it; but mere speculation about the possibility of such a thing is not notable enough to get an article in an encyclopedia. --Orange Mike | Talk 02:13, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Ditto. WP:CRYSTAL, please. And may I also recommend WP:PUNCT and Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Grammar? (This is reference to Mountain House edit 283895286, among others.) Michael Patrick (talk) 20:04, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Mountain View Academy High school

A tag has been placed on Mountain View Academy High school, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Hi K.w 2009. I declined the speedy deletion nomination of the above article after altering some of the text. Just so you know, our articles need to be encyclopedic and "neutral" – so terms like "our classes and group advising help provide a strong academic ground for students", is often considered to be promotional. A lot of newer editors get a bit confused by this at first, so don't feel bad. :-) If you have questions, let me know and I'd be happy to help. Jamie^☆S93 01:51, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Emery Secondary School

I have nominated Emery Secondary School, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Emery Secondary School. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Drawn Some (talk) 02:31, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

I get the impression that you are either a student or and employee of the developed. Please cite you information and please make encyclopedic changes only. If this continues, you will probably be considered as a vandal which is supported by your edit history. Vegaswikian (talk) 04:41, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Overall your edits are looking more like copy violations, spam and sales pitches with violations of WP:N, WP:RS, WP:COI, WP:V and many other issues. Please start citing facts and stop writing sales pitches in all of your articles. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:58, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Youtubek. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 17:15, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
