Feedback
You wrote that you wanted feedback on Pinkerton_Academy, so here are a few thoughts.
 * "which opened its doors to only male students on 4 December 1815" seems awkward. "which opened as a boy's school on"; "which opened on 4 December 1815 as an all-male institution", or something similar?
 * there needs to be some mention of when it became co-educational.
 * The date of opening (1815) doesn't match the date of establishment (1814) or the date in the slogan ("Quality education since 1814").
 * "Former" is less informative than actual dates (e..g.: Gerry Whiting Hazelton - Former United States Representative from Wisconsin. vs Gerry Whiting Hazelton - United States Representative from Wisconsin, 1871-1875.)
 * I removed the "unreferenced" tag. - Nunh-huh 23:47, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I took the suggestions. I didn't create the history section, but I think it meant that the school opened in 1815 but was built in 1814.--EvaGears 02:01, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * It sounds like they are cheating a bit as saying they were giving "quality education" before a single class was taught, but that's not your fault :) - Nunh-huh 03:06, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Would this be a reliable source?

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Nashua Seall.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Nashua Seall.gif. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Your sandbox
Just a quick heads-up for you ... I repaired a link to cross country in your sandbox b/c it pointed to a DAB page. It now points to cross country running, which is what I believe you wanted. Cheers, PaddyM 20:54, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Books3.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Books3.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. &mdash; Mediran  [talk]  10:27, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:CharlesFloyd.jpg


The file File:CharlesFloyd.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "unused, low-res, no obvious use"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
