Don't threaten me... it is uncivil

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you revert content from Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing.

Please stop reverting deletion of irrelevant and innapropriate content in the Upper St. Clair High School. WP:TPG is very clear on this policy:

"Some examples of appropriately editing others' comments:

Removing prohibited material such as libel and personal details
Deleting material not relevant to improving the article (per the above subsection #How to use article talk pages).
Removing personal attacks and incivility.

All three of these items apply in this case, and in addition the cause origionally cited with the edits was that the issues have been resolved, futher the page has already been archived. IMO you need to read the content, as well as the info you cite, and realize that wikipedia is open to all for editing and is not anyone's personal domain.

While I do understand your general point, however specifically i disagree with you for cause ( multiple causes) in this case... if you think there is merit to somehow improve the article in preservation of already resolved irrelevant issues on the talk page, in additon to the archive page that already exists wrt this points, then please make a logical argument as to why.

Otherwise, please assume that like yourself other editors procede in good faith and with cause... wikipedia is open to us all, for the betterment of us all.

Please stop your threats and have a rational discussion.

OK... I see that you mostly agreed with my point(s), and again archived the page rather then deleting the irrelevant material. That is both reasonable and acceptable, though IMO your pejorative threats are stil inaproprtiate. Endogenous -i (talk) 18:34, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for a civil response (see may comments). Endogenous -i (talk) 23:51, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimania 2008/Conference of the Americas

Hello, As you may or may not know, Alexandria, Egypt was selected to host Wikimania 2008 [1]. So as to prevent the hard work of the many Wikimedians involved in the Atlanta bid from going to waste, we have decided to host a conference for the Americas. This is in no way an attempt to compete with Wikimania or make a statement against Wikimania.

As one of the people signed up to help with the Wikimania Atlanta bid, we hope you will join us at the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas. We will be having a meeting tonight in IRC tonight (Oct 15) at 9:30PM in #cota-atlanta on irc.freenode.org to discuss the conference. For more information about IRC see [2].

For more information about the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas see http://www.cota-atlanta.org and our wiki http://www.cota-atlanta.org/wiki.

If you do not wish to receive further notices about the COTA please remove your name from our notify list. --Cspurrier 18:10, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Purdue rankings

You can do what ever you want, Wikipedia always does, but your rankings are nonsense. The source listed clearly had each area and engineering school ranking as a whole at 6th overall- current standings, by the source, and reconfirmed by Purdue's own website as such. That is a fact. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.142.236.23 (talk) 14:33, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The source that you listed is some blog; my source is Purdue's website and the 2008 U.S. News & World report rankings here. The source clearly lists the Purdue College of Engineering overall rankings as 9th and 12th for undergrad and grad, respectively. I don't think it can be any more straightforward than that. MaxVeers 15:04, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Those US News rankings just changed now, they weren't that way recently before. Also, the listed source is not a blog, but a ranking system of engineering schools from all across the US which is also a valid reference- US News isn't the one and only official standard to rank schools- it just is the one source that pop culture wants to look up to. Also, you metion nothing about Purdue's pharmacy school which is just as highly ranked as its engineering and business school. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.141.156.230 (talk) 18:18, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about the edit on Purdue about the Black Cultural Center. For some reason I remember removing that statement, apparently I did the opposite and accidently put it back. I agree it is inappropriate. Sorry about the confusion. Jedlink (talk) 16:07, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:AnteaterZot made a comment the "Somebody at Georgia Tech seems to be creating numerous pages on professors and departments without being aware of Wikipedia's notability requirements." I am not from Georgia Tech or the United States. I created her biography because she is a notable cognitive scientist and she pioneered the computer reasoning method called case-based reasoning.

Speedy deletion of Image:AnakPlaque.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:AnakPlaque.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[Talk:Image:AnakPlaque.jpg|the article's talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:ZyzzyxRoad.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:ZyzzyxRoad.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:04, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Georgia Tech Alumni Association

A tag has been placed on Georgia Tech Alumni Association requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. ju66l3r (talk) 20:00, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:GVU Center Logo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:GVU Center Logo.gif. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 20:15, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1916 Cumberland vs. Georgia Tech football game

You worked on the article 1916 Cumberland vs. Georgia Tech football game. Nice job!

This article needs to have the references placed inline, and a tag has been placed on the article. I'd love to do it myself, but it would be easiest if the original resarchers would take care of it. Thank you very much!--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:00, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
