Your contributed article, Illinois 203 disambiguation
Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Illinois 203 disambiguation. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Illinois 203 (disambiguation). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Illinois 203 (disambiguation) - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the 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. 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 administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions.  :  pep  per   20:30, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

templates and disambiguations and links
Hi, Darthallen72; just for future reference, any template you wish to add to a page, such as one that redirects to another article, can be found at Template messages. Also, to link to other Wikipedia articles, put two brackets on each side of the word ( target page ). FOr example, to link to the page Illinois Route 203, put two brackets on either side to get Illinois Route 203. For disambiguation pages, there is a general format, which I have changed your article, Illinois 203 (disambiguation) to. Feel free to contact me on my talk page if you have any additional questions. Cheers,  :  pep  per   20:41, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

School district redirects
Each school district number is used numerous times across the United States, and often numerous times across Illinois. In Illinois, each "Region of Education" (headed by an elected regional superintendent of education) has its own set of numbers, and there are 46 ROEs in Illinois. For example, there are seven District 203s just in Illinois, including Elwood Consolidated, Naperville (unit), and New Trier (high school) just in the Chicago area. See List of school districts in Illinois for a list. --Closeapple (talk) 08:38, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
