Tefft middle school article
I added stuff about the history (but i don't have much history. can you believe that the handbook doesn't actually say the year that tefft was founded?!) i also added stuff about the houses of learning

message from Claveau
Hi!

You recently left a message on my user page and I'd like to thank you for the welcome note. I have just finished translating an article from French to English on Leopold Senghor, but it would need to be proof-read and checked but I don't know how or if it's possible to add a template that would ask for it. Anyway, thanks for your help in advance! Claveau 21:33, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

If you found it put your name here! (without cheating)That means no looking at editing version or the history differences!

Thanks for the evolution userbox. Although, I don't think that Pepsi is no match for Coke. Now, Cherry Coke, now that's a completeley different story.

Writing in color
How can i write in color?

There are two ways to write in color: first, you can use the font HTML tag. So
 * This is blue!

yields
 * This is blue!

Personally, I would use the following syntax:
 * This is blue!

yields
 * This is blue!

This uses CSS. Hope this answers any questions. Grace notes T § 01:21, 22 January 2007 (UTC)


 * You wish may to see Web colors for the colors that you can use (the color names). If you use hex triplets, you can have up to 16777216 colors possible! See the RGB color model and hexadecimal for more information about how to construct those. Grace notes T  &#167; 01:28, 22 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Hm... so this is what you wanted to use color for, eh? :p You learned a new skill in Wikitext programming in the process, though. Happy editing! Grace notes T  &#167; 03:36, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protection
Hi. Adding semi-protected doesn't actually protect an article. You have to request protection at WP:RFPP. Also, Today's Featured Article is usually not usually protected unless vandalism is severe (multiple malicious edits per minute). --Wafulz 15:06, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Protection
User:Wafulz Roled back your use of the semi-protect template on Diplodocus. You need to be an admin, to protect an article, else submit it for protection

Your edit summary usage
Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:  The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field - please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.

WP:CHICAGO
Thanks for registering at WikiProject Chicago/members. You may want to get involved in the Meetup/Chicago 3. Also, be advised that the project is now trying to keep all the project's WP:PR, WP:FAC, WP:FAR, WP:GAR, WP:GAC WP:FLC, WP:FLRC, WP:FTC, WP:FPOC, WP:FPC, and WP:AFD discussion pages in one location at the new WikiProject Chicago/Review page.

WP:CHICAGO leadership
This month you have indicated new or continuing interest in WP:CHICAGO as either an active or semi-active member. The response to the project membership survey was strong enough that we should attempt to organize it in a more fully functional way. Please sign up at CHICAGO/leadership if you would be willing to serve as a leader of the project from September 1, 2008 to February 28, 2009. The various leadership responsibilities are listed there. The roles will be somewhat similar to the roles of WikiProject Military history/Coordinators. We are a less mature and developed project than WP:MILHIST however, so our division of roles will be slightly different. Please respond by the 23rd.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 18:54, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

File:DSCN1745.JPG is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:WWII cartridges.JPG. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case:.

Category:Top-importance Chicago articles
For the rest of this month we are looking for more candidates to be promoted to Category:Top-importance Chicago articles. We are hoping to bring the list of category members to a total of 50. Either you have participated in past votes and discussions or you have recently signed up to be a part of WP:CHICAGO. In either case, please come visit Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chicago/Assessment where we are determining who to add to the September 1st ballot. Some candidate debates have lingered, but there are many new ones from the project's top 50 according to the Wikipedia:Release Version 0.7. Help us determine which pages to add to the ballot.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 04:07, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Try the new translation tool
Hello, I see that you're a translator. A new translation tool has been implemented and is ready for usage. Could you please try it by translating any page with Internet Explorer, and then report here on bugzilla if you find something wrong? We don't have many Internet Explorer testers, so your help would be very valuable. I also think that you'll enjoy translating with this tool. Thank you very much, Nemo 09:11, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Merger of High school into Secondary school
Sorry, but the merger of High school into Secondary school, which you administratively completed, seems to be particularly ill-judged, not by you but – unanimous or not – by the participants of that debate. Note that I have just proposed undoing that merger, see Talk:Secondary school. Feel free to join into the discussion. Regards, PanchoS (talk) 11:17, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 31
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Channel strip, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Compression and XLR. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
