The reason I redirected your article on Campus Middle School is that, according to the guidelines at Wikipedia:Schools, it does not meet the notability criteria for inclusion. Basically, a school must meet at least one criterion of several listed there. If it does not, we try to redirect it to the school district, which is what I've done in this case. If you can demonstrate the school's notability in some way, please feel free to modify your article, and it should be able to stand. Denni talk 02:27, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New pages
I know you're new to Wikipedia, and don't know all the ins and outs yet, but one thing you should be aware of is that hundreds of articles an hour (that's right, an hour) are submitted to us. It is the job of a number of editors who patrol the new pages to make snap decisions on keeping, redirecting, deleting, or otherwise assigning articles. Typically, about 15% of new articles are immediately deleted, most often because they do not assert the importance or notability of their subject or they are outright nonsense. School articles in such a category are not often deleted, but where possible redirected to their local school board. That was the case with your article. Wikipedia:Schools (click on this link) will give you the criteria by which schools are deemed notable. Because inadequate articles are frequently deleted right away, it is a good plan to make sure your article can stand on its own immediately so as to make the first cut. You can be sure that an article whose sole contents are "more coming" or "under construction" will absolutely not meet our fairly generous standards. I would also note that, in my experience, eighty percent of school articles do not progress much, if at all, past the point where they started. So an article that comes in weak should expect to be redirected or even possibly deleted. Regarding your question on the perfect SAT score, this would not be considered to make the school notable, though it is possible that it might help make the student notable depending on how rare this is. As a friendly BTW, I'd suggest you revise your IQ score downward - I know of no IQ test that claims reliability beyond 180. Cheers, Denni talk 01:46, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
That is not true. Both Heero and I have scores of over 190, and he has more than 200. The highest scoring person ever had an IQ of 226, so by saying what you just said, you'd be denying, say, five thousand kids in history who scored more than 180 70.59.3.216 13:50, 10 November 2007 (UTC)(Nick of Nickness in Colorado)
[edit] Campus Middle School
Blue Ribbon School would definitely be a point of notability for this school - a very high standard is required to achieve it. I don't know about mathcounts - that depends very much on how many other schools win it in a given year. If only one school per state wins it annually, then that's obviously grounds for notability. If it's awarded to 20% of schools in a state each month, then it's not. I'm not familiar with the award, so I can't say. Other things you might try to find out is if this school has any notable alumni, has any programs which might make it notable (for example, a school band which has placed at a state or national level), or has a historical relevance (started in 1902, say). Again, check WP:SCHOOLS for other criteria which give schools notability. Cheers, Denni talk 23:46, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- You're welcome - glad to be able to assist. In my estimation (and I'm hard to please when it comes to school articles), the Campus Middle School article is now suitable for Wikipedia. Thanks for your effort - it looks much better than most school articles we get. Denni talk 01:48, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your password
Hoping you're able to get to your talk page.
From the Help page:
What if I forget the password?
If you enter an e-mail address when signing up for the account, or in your Preferences, you can request on the login screen for a temporary password to be sent to that address, which will allow you to retrieve your account. If you did not enter an e-mail address, or the address was out of date, but you are determined to regain access to the account, you might be able to persuade someone with direct access to the database that it is your account, and ask them to retrieve it for you.
It may be that you did not include your email address when you set up your prefs. If that is the case, Wikipedia has no way to email youi a new password. I don't know anyone who has direct access to the database, so if I were you, I'd leave a message at Wikipedia:Help Desk, and someone there may be able to point you in the right direction.
Sorry I couldn't have been of more help. Good luck! Denni talk 19:15, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Campusmiddleschoolmustang.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated.

[edit] You're welcome
No problem; WP:TWINKLE makes it easy. The reasons for vandalism are indeed mysterious. I suppose some people just have nothing better to do and feel the urge to hurt others' work in order to raise their own self-esteem. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cielomobile (talk • contribs) 03:07, 23 March 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Notice
A tag has been placed on Plains Conservation Center, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -jj137 T/C 20:16, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- At the time I tagged the article it did not have enough content for an article. -jj137 T/C 22:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Mathematics competitions
Thanks for notifying me. I'll do what I can to establish notability for these articles.
Where does the user you mentioned say that? Do you mean here? There, it doesn't seem that he mentioned the other two articles.

- Thanks. I hope he feels the same... Do you know how do you do that thing in the notes if you have two facts with the same source and they're listed as a) and b)? I used to know, but I forgot. Temperalxy 03:45, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
- Never mind, I figured it out, but thanks anyways. Temperalxy 03:48, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] A list you could add my article to
Since you were interested in proper categorization of the article on me, David Eppstein, earlier, and since someone else saw fit to remove the link to my livejournal from the article: what would you think about adding my name to List of LiveJournal users? My LJ username is 11011110. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:10, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Exconjugant
Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Exconjugant, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
