User talk:Dericksc

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Dericksc! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!  Lourie Pieterse  09:01, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Vines High School. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:35, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Vines High School, you may be blocked from editing. 'Two editors have reverted your addition of a non-notable name to the alumni list. Please start a discussion on the article talk page, and gain a consensus. Do not edit war.'

 * Magnolia677, first I would like to sincerely communicate I am trying to make a page better. It was severely out of date due to recent changes to the organization (ISD).   I would disagree that I am being disruptive.   I have opened a talk page.   If I am doing something wrong then please provide guidance or thoughts.   The delete, two word summary, and this accusatory message is a lot.  I'm trying to help.  Let's take this to the talk page. dericksc (talk) 19:49, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Please read WP:BRD. It does not mean restore your contested edit and than post something to the article's talk page. You have now been undone a third time. I suggest that you read WP:EW. Two of your entries have neither Wiikipedia articles nor reliable sources showing their attendnace, and the third has an article but only an unsourced claim for his attendance. And adding a dead 2006 reference you copied from somewhere is not useful. Meters (talk) 21:48, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
