Requesting your assistance
As someone involved in WikiProject Schools, your assistance is requested.

I am trying to avoid an edit war with User:K karenh over the Gateway Elementary School article. You can see a chronology of events here and here. I discovered this new article while patrolling. The article is about a non-notable elementary school and should be redirected to its school district article per Notability (schools). I did that and it was quickly reverted by the author. I have left various messages on the user's talk page, as well as descriptive edit summaries on the article, without success. As a last resort, I PRODed the article and that too was quickly removed.

I am at a loss as to what to do next. I suspect that this user may be an elementary student who attends the school, so I have tried to tread lightly and be helpful explaining Wikipedia's rules and why the article should be redirected. It seems that this user is not willing to understand and follow Wikipedia policy and ownership of articles. The user has stated that other similar elementary school articles may be created.

I would appreciate any ideas you might have on how we can successfully resolve this. Thanks for your time. Truthanado (talk) 01:44, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

 * I moved both templates back to your user space (in the obvious locations), just in case there was something to merge. I also converted your user page and your bot's user page to use top icon. Feel free to revert my changes if you don't like the appearance. It seems as though top icon has all the same features as header image.  However, there doesn't seem to be a top icon set template.  Perhaps header icon set could be converted to use top icon in an analogous way?  Then again, people seem to be getting along just fine without it at the moment.  Let me know if I made an error, or if there is anything I can do to help. Best Regards. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk)  08:48, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
