Orphaned non-free image File:NS logo.png
 Thanks for uploading File:NS logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 04:19, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.

Speedy deletion nomination of Youth outcome questionnaire
A tag has been placed on Youth outcome questionnaire, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top ofthe 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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Some of the other names for this type of program are Young Adult Program, Young Adult Transition Program and step down program.

 * Therapeutic Boarding School
 * Wilderness Therapy
 * Adventure therapy
 * Wilderness Boot Camp

File copyright problem with File:Elan logo.png
Thank you for uploading File:Elan logo.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add acopyright tag to the image description page.

Because you used a fair use rationale with your upload, the recommended copyright tag is non-free logo.Please add this to the image and remove the speedy delete template (di-no license).

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Image Screening Bot (talk) 12:36, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Marymount College, Palos Verdes. Note that the three-revert ruleprohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:34, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * It is disingenuous to claim that the recent reversions were about deleting the properly sourced description of the college. A simple review of the history page will reveal the users Kellycurtis, 68.48.87.125 and Mccormick915 have all been intent on deleting the Expansion controversy section of the article. Even after attempts to engage them and changing the name to Expansion plans, the deletions continued. Toward the end the edits became more sophisticated but each time centered on deleting the expansion section. I suggest those three users, who have contributed to Marymount College, Palos Verdes and no other articles, have the same agenda and might be the same person masquerading as a sock puppet afteruser:Kellycurtis was blocked for vandalism.I ♥ ♪♫ (talk) 02:16, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't believe I ever tried to identify your motives for reverting; as protecting admin, I have no opinion on whose edits are "right". However, please do not edit-war; use the talk page to reach a consensus. If the other users (whom I have also warned) refuse to discuss and continue to revert, then report them to WP:AN/I or WP:AN/EW. If you really believe that the other two users are sockpuppets (and have the evidence to substantiate the claim), then open a sockpuppet investigation.
 * Sorry, the disingenuous comment was not directed at you. It was in response to the 20:17, 31 August 2010 edit summary by user:Mccormick915. I apologize for the misunderstanding. A review of the talk page will show that I have tried to engage the others to no avail. I have requested page protection. I can't provide any evidence as to the sockpuppet comment, it's just that the user(s) actions seem to be coordinated.I ♥ ♪♫ (talk) 02:38, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. I know that dealing with tendentious editors can be a problem. If the revert-warring resumes, re-request at RFPP and I would be happy to reconsider. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:42, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jagged Edge (lifestyle)

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top ofthe page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

Your sig
I'd like to draw your attenton to WP:SIG, particularly the part which says


 * Signatures on Wikipedia identify you as a user and your contributions to Wikipedia. They encourage civility in discussions by identifying the author of a particular comment and the date and time at which it was made. Because of that, having an uncivil signature is strongly discouraged (in some cases, to the point of blocking the user until it is changed). In general anything that is not allowed in a user name should not be used in a signature either.

Your signature, the symbols of which I assume mean "I love music", do not identify you, which makes it difficult for other users, who have to click thorugh to your talk page to fin out your user name. Would you consider adding your user name to the sig, in the spirit of collegiality? Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:10, 29 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I believe the phrase "identify you as a user and your contributions" is what it is all about not to identify a person by name. The point of having signatures is to be an alternate to the user name and does adequately identify the user. That being said I modified my signature to include my initials which should make it slightly easier for others to recognize my edits. Cheers. CDW ♥'s ♪  ♫  ( talk ) 03:38, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Nope - that's a different "Doc".

I've found it hard to find any reliable sources backing up a lot of what's in the article, but since I've been "there", I know much of it to be true. Herein lies the problem with "verifiability, not truth" (it's a long story, trust me ;>) . I've seen a good documentary on YouTube, but it's hardly a reliable source.
