User talk:Hebisddave

I am primarily focused on editing pages relating to the Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District, located in Bedford, Texas, USA:


 * Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District
 * L. D. Bell High School (Hurst, Texas)
 * Trinity High School (Euless, Texas)
 * Pennington Field

and possibly:
 * Hurst, TX
 * Euless, TX
 * Bedford, TX

If I forget to cite, please let me know because there are almost definitely sources for everything I post. Thanks! --Hebisddave 15:34, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for getting the new image of the front of Bell! Looks great! Fickman 06:00, 7 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for noticing! Hopefully there's enough information in the description to keep it safe from deletion...if not, I'll add more information until it's good. : )  --Hebisddave 14:00, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

thx for thx
You and fellow editors are thanked & welcome .... look forward to seeing Bell High. Oh and your history is a bit light .... 40 years in a few sentences. See you at GA Victuallers 07:51, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Demographic / Student population info for Bell
Do you have demographic and student population numbers for Bell similar to the ones you've put on the Trinity and HEB wikipedia pages? Fickman 15:01, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yup, it's on the TEA site: http://www.tea.state.tx.us/ -> Data Resources and Research -> Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) Reports -> AEIS Reports for 2005-06 -> (schools/districts)... if you search for the high schools, I think you can use the names "Trinity H S" and "Bell H S", and you should get a list that includes the HEB ISD schools. I'll make a note on the Bell HS Talk page, too. --Hebisddave 14:56, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

HEB History
The HEB History sections you've created are filled with great stuff! Kudos. Fickman 21:51, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Katy ISD discussion
I responded to this sentence: "If you need a peaceful, non-confrontational solution, maybe you can let the other user's version stand for a bit, work on other parts of the article (shorten and organize history section and enrollment numbers, update ethnicity info with recent TEA data), and come back to the contended sentences later." - I would like for you to come back to the talk page to read my response. I found more sources and explained why the long version is better :) WhisperToMe 14:48, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank You!
Thanks for the luck! I'm gonna need it. Can I just ask for 2 favors? 1 is to let other people know about what I'm doing (and if they even know if I exsist!) 2 is if you could keep monitoring me on these GISD pages as they come in case if I screw it up like don't give enough saying into it like sources. Thanks!:) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Junebug08 (talk • contribs) 20:23, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for UIL competition updates
I'm in the process of creating/editing pages for each UIL sanctioned academic event. I noticed you added the grades for which Number Sense is a sanctioned event. Thank you and feel free to make any other updates as needed. Quidam65 (talk) 18:56, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

HEBISD Talk page
Just got your message and reviewed the history in question regarding the GA nom. You are correct that this was not a separate milestone. I was adding the ArticleHistory to many articles at the time when I desired some WikiGnoming instead of article development. I have removed this from the template. As for the talkheader, well I think for an article about a school or district, the template is a good precaution in case a student without wiki experience happens on the page. If you want to remove it, you are free to do so. -MBK004 21:42, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Incorrect correction for "institution"
I noticed an incorrect spelling correction to Fort Worth, Texas. diff. The bot changed "instiution" to "istitution" when I believe it should have become "institution". :)

Thanks for a great bot! --Hebisddave (talk) 17:54, 9 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh dear, that's embarrassing! I've updated the bot, added a rule to correct "istitution" whenever it finds it, and searched wikipedia for any instances of "istitution" in the last database dump. Thanks for letting me know about the error. Cheers, CmdrObot (talk) 20:10, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Your copyedit request
On 30 August 2007, you made a request to the League of Copyeditors for a copyedit on Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District. Because of a heavy backlog and a shortage of copyeditors, we have been unable to act on your request in a timely manner, for which we aplogize. Since your request, this article has been subject to significant editing and may no longer be a good candidate for copyediting by the League. If you still wish the League to copyedit this article, please review this article against our new criteria and follow the instructions on the Requests page. This will include your request in our new system, where it should receive more prompt attention. Finetooth (talk) 20:34, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:HEBISD logo.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:HEBISD logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 08:06, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District
The article Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District, to which you seem to be the main contributor, is undergoing a review as part of the good article sweeps project. The article does not seem to meet current requirements for a good article. It has been put on hold for a week; if these issues are addressed satisfactorily within that period the article will be kept as a GA, otherwise it will be delisted.

Image Release Needed ASAP
Hi- I was hoping to use the photo you have for Trinity HS. We are producing a football game with them this Thursday and would need you to sign a release form saying we could use it. If you could either email me erica@mrbproductions.com or call me 323-965-8881, would greatly appreciate it!! thanks! -erica — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.169.84.150 (talk) 16:45, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for all you do for HEBISD and its Wikipedia page! I learned many things from the Wikipedia page that I never knew before about our district! Smileguy91 (talk) 23:46, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Template:Infobox school district
Hello, are you the creator school district infobox template? There has been a dispute between myself and another user and I have been unsuccessfully trying to get a discussion going regarding the dispute. - Jajhill (talk) 00:22 5 October 2015 UTC
 * Wow, I guess I am? I had completely forgotten. I'm not sure that being the creator holds any special weight on a collaborative project, but I'll take a look and make a comment at Template_talk:Infobox_school_district. -Hebisddave (talk) 15:13, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Waxahachie High School Article
Even though I am not the author of this article, I completely do not understand your revisions made to the infobox and the removal of a reference that I feel to be a valid third party reference. I was under the impression that school websites were not third party references. There really needs to be some consensus on what is to be or not to be included in school articles. A lot of work is done by several of us who write school articles and to see them altered with no real explanation leaves a rather bad taste in one's mouth (mine at least at any rate). I truly see the need to remove fluff and puffery, but how far should one go in doing so. Should there be defined parameters for all aspects of an article? I think so and would support such an effort. It is little wonder why many out there feel Wikipedia is not a legitimate reference source. Indyjrg1762 (talk) 22:36, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * This discussion probably belongs on the article's talk page. That said, I'm not interested in arguing for my edits. I'll unwatch, so you can feel free to make the article what you want it to be. :) --Hebisddave (talk) 14:38, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Photo requests and HEBISD stuff
Hi!

I would like to know if you do photo requests in the Dallas area, especially around HEBISD. I am especially interested in getting a photo of the American Airlines headquarters building.

Also do you know of any Spanish speakers in your community? There may be interest in es:Distrito Escolar Independiente de Hurst-Euless-Bedford WhisperToMe (talk) 07:08, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I don't think I can help with either request. I'll keep my ears open in case I hear of a person who can. -Hebisddave (talk) 14:45, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok. Please let me know if you do find somebody. Anyway happy editing :) WhisperToMe (talk) 15:06, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

List of schools of the Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District
Good afternoon! I have revamped the List of schools of the Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District page. Please feel free to override any of the information on the page, since you are more of an expert on district history and affairs than I am. Just wanted to let you know! smileguy91talk - contribs 23:18, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Plus feel free to edit the new template Template:Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District if you feel it is necessary. I am not sure if KEYS should be listed as a high school or not; however on GreatSchools and some other sites it is listed as separate. smileguy91talk - contribs 18:14, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry for further spam! Forgot to request permission for new Trinity logo. Will do so on appropriate channel now. smileguy91talk - contribs 15:38, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Apparently a staff member must authorize the request? smileguy91talk - contribs 15:41, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I know you know that WP edits don't need any approval, but they all look great to me. Here are my understandings:
 * The district has moved from calling it "KEYS Learning Center" to "KEYS High School". I don't think there was ever an official, cite-able announcement of that change. Wikipedia-wise, I feel like I usually see alternative/non-traditional high schools listed alongside traditional high schools, but I've definitely seen them listed with all the "other" buildings, too. I don't think there's strict consensus on a right or wrong way.
 * The Trinity logo you uploaded looks great -- I believe that's the school's current, main logo. would be the place to request any logo files you need. The page looks intense, but that's mainly to try to prevent vendors from making and selling logo gear without permission.

Gene A. Buinger Career and Technical Education Academy article
New article made at Gene A. Buinger Career and Technical Education Academy to improve coverage on district. Is there any place where more accurate statistics could be found concerning the number of students that BCTEA serves and the FTE equivalent of faculty at BCTEA? Most TEA statistics are for the registered high schools (i.e. Trinity, Bell, KEYS Learning Center), so finding stats for BCTEA was a bit difficult. smileguy91talk - contribs 04:19, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Nice work, and I know what you mean about finding numbers for BCTEA since it isn't a "home" campus for any students. I found some numbers in the PDF attached to this meeting agenda item. (On page 10, site "003" must be BCTEA, but that's just a number for teachers. Page 4 lists 1 counselor for CTE, page 3 lists a director and an assistant principal for CTE, page 7 lists 3 secretaries for BCTEA.) Unfortunately, putting together a total BCTEA staff number from this document might not work because custodians, cafeteria specialists, technology assistants, etc are not split out by campus. I'll keep an eye out for anything that might be helpful. --Hebisddave (talk) 19:45, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Why did you revert my changes on Mack's page? They were perfectly acceptable and would put an end to the he/she back and forth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.1.171.165 (talk) 20:18, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

I'm confused about Eagle Mountain-Saginaw Independent School District
Over a month ago, I asked The Anome about the policy for entering school coordinates. I misunderstood their response and I removed the coordinate tags for a number of schools. But they corrected my misunderstanding so I went back and reverted my own edits, adding the coordinates.

So what happened with Eagle Mountain-Saginaw Independent School District? Did I mess that one up? The history on that page looks really strange. I do not intend to go against Wikipedia policy or vandalize pages, and that's not because I have the slightest fear of admins. I want to give back to Wikipedia, so I'm willing to fix my mistakes. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 20:01, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I am not upset, and I appreciate that you are contributing to Wikipedia in good ways. :) I saw that you had been undoing your earlier changes related to removing coordinates from education articles. I noticed one article that had not been reverted, so I went ahead and did that in case it would be helpful. It does look like the administrative office for that school system recently moved to a new building; I don't know if that would be part of any confusion.
 * I'm not sure if that answers your questions. If not, you may have better luck asking on the talk page for that article, or on a more general Wikipedia help page. --Hebisddave (talk) 13:10, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
