Hey teacher!
Hi there,

I saw your misconceived comedy demonstration on Screven county middle school. Please tell me you are not a real teacher showing your students how to vandalise Wikipedia? If you are then you should be very ashamed of yourself. Wikipedia is a charitable effort to bring knowledge to the World and this sort of stunt is really not helping. I presume you tell the kids off when they scribble in the library books? Well this is the same thing. Please teach the kids how to use Wikipedia responsibly and critically instead. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:53, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

You're obviously very passionate about Wikipedia. The page was only created to show the students that you could actually create an article on Wikipedia. They were supposed to learn that you're not supposed to trust every source. We were not here to vandalize* the page, and it was to be deleted after they saw the page. P.S. You spelled vandalize wrong; thanks for being so anal.

 * You are a teacher? And yet you don't know that the British/Commonwealth English spelling uses "ise" instead of "ize" at the ends of words? Please for the love of (insert deity of choice) tell me you are not an English teacher? Do you also get upset when I say that Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia?
 * Or maybe you just forgot that other countries exist, speak and write English very slightly differently, and use the internet too? In which case, please for the love of (insert the same or other deity as preferred) also tell me you are not a Geography teacher?
 * For future reference, the policy here on the English language Wikipedia (other languages are available), is that either British or American English can be used. Both are regarded as equally correct. That way we don't have to have a whole separate Wikipedia just to accommodate the two very minor language variants. Articles can use either one but should do so consistently and not be switched between the two needlessly. On things like talk pages each person can use their own national variant. I used British English because I am British, not to assert that the American spelling is wrong. The vast majority of people here are mature enough to get along with their fellow Wikipedians from across the pond without confusing genuine cultural differences with spelling mistakes.
 * I appreciate that your intention was not to commit vandalism but am concerned to see a person so blatantly immature and oblivious to what is going on around them being put in charge of teaching children anything. I think you need to grow up a bit before you try to help anybody else to do so. You certainly set a bad example to your class that day and continue to project a very poor image of the US education system in what is, even if you fail to recognise it, an international context.
 * Still, kudos on using the semicolon correctly. Give yourself a gold star. --DanielRigal (talk) 22:19, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
