elcome to Wikipedia Kyungdon21, from WikiProject Editor Retention | |||
Thank you for registering! We hope that you find collaborative editing enjoyable. Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia that started in 2001, is free for all to use and edit within the guidelines and principles users have established and adhere to. Many of these principles and guidelines are listed below. Click on the link next to the images for more information. REMEMBER - each policy and/or guideline page has a discussion you can join to ask questions, add input and contribute your voice towards any current policy or guideline change underway! Join the discussion by going to the talkpage of the article. Please take a minute to view a number of quick start pages for an overview of how to work within these guidelines and more information to help you better understand the practices and procedures editors are using. These include: The Newcomers Manual and User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia.
Sometimes new editors become frustrated quickly and find their experience on Wikipedia less than enjoyable. This need not be. If you are having a difficult time for any reason, please feel free to ask me for assistance! Or, better yet, visit The Teahouse where veteran editors are waiting to assist you. | |||

At the end of each message you will see a signature left by the editor posting. This is done by signing with four ~~~~ or by pressing or in the editing interface tool box, located just above the editing window (when editing). Do not sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted, but only when using the article talkpage, yours or another editor's talkpage. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance.

Hi. I wanted to leave you a note thanking you for your work on Michigan high school articles. However, and since you are new there is no way you would have known this, many of your changes have been out of guidelines. I fixed up Okemos High School. Please take a look at it and adjust your edits accordingly. Among other issues, we do not list any people by name, except the head of the school (usually the principal) or anyone who may be notable (for this purpose notable means "has a biography on Wikipedia") in high school articles. We do not use titles (such as Mr. or Dr.), or post-nominal alphabet soup (such as PhD) on any article (with a few exceptions) on Wikipedia per the Manual of Style. The only achievements we discuss are state or national championships. And some of your references you apparently did not read too closely. The reference you gave for the state championships did not lead to information on the state championships, and the US News and World Report reference was not for current enrollment figures, but for 2011-2012. These figures came from the NCES, which would probably be a better reference.
Please take this for what it is, constructive criticism. Although Wikipedia is "the encyclopedia anyone can edit", there is a considerable amount of structure to learn to edit here productively. The links above, and especially the Teahouse, can be of considerable help. And you are always welcome to drop me a note on my talk page if I can be of any assistance. If you want to do an article, might I suggest Mendon High School? That is a school with a huge athletic tradition and some very interesting backstory on that tradition which you can probably find on Mlive. I'm always glad to help, just give me a hollar. Happy editing. John from Idegon (talk) 21:57, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Big North Conference (MHSAA)
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Big North Conference (MHSAA) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Disambiguation link notification for March 23
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Detroit Public School League, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Southwestern High School. 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.

[edit] You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Bay City Central High School. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.
