Help

I'm trying to figure out how to link an entry to a Google Earth location. Any specific "how-to's" would be greatly appreciated!

Good idea Momefarley. Have a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates. This sort of functionality is basically built in. Have a look at the London article to see how it works. Up the top right is a links for coordinates. When you click it, you can choose from many programs, one of which is Google Earth. You could also look at the source code for a high quality geographical article, maybe London for example. I will make a few small changes to the page you created, but good job, Colin MacLaurin 14:05, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Colin. I've looked there, but it's so much to muddle through at the moment. I've posted the coordinates from my Google Earth "pin" on the Talk page, so maybe someone else can put it in for me. I'm actually putting this page up at the behest of friends from LLU who will be coming to join my husband in public health class field work here this summer for 3 weeks. I've edited wiki-type stuff before (years ago, on a kind of link engine that's no longer around and I've even forgotten the name of!), but it's all new to me. I'm a power-user on lots of computer stuff, but have been put off by HTML and other web programming stuff. I guess this is a good way to get use to tagging stuff... Oh, and BTW, I've got "proofreader" eyes (though I'm certainly not perfect myself!), so if you need something gone over like that, give me a holler...

Regarding the infobox, I suggest you take a look at how it is implemented on the Avondale College article, or you could look for a Wikipedia policy regarding them. My best suggestion is that you find an article in Wikipedia:Featured articles#Education and copy its userbox layout. On a separate note, I assume that you're also from LLU? How do you find the Adventist church in the Philippines? I have been on trips to China and Cambodia with the church, and loved them. Colin MacLaurin 14:32, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK. That gives me a good place to start. No, I say I'm from E Tennessee (moved around a lot, but that's what feels like home, and fortunately all the rest of my family is there at present. Actually, I'm interacting the least with locals of any place I've been (China, Japan, Kyrgyzstan) with being on this campus. The campus is absolutely the most international place I've ever been - wonderful! So since even the locals in the market speak English, and we're only here 15 mo, I'm being completely lazy at learning the language and culture. :( Momefarley 14:38, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Adventist International Institute of Advanced Studies

The article Adventist International Institute of Advanced Studies has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

I did a Google search of this school and did not find that many third-party references. The ones that I did find were only trivial.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion..
