High schools in Texas
Hi! There's no need to add "High schools in Texas" to cats that have "High schools in Fort Bend County, Texas" etc. as they are subdivisions of "High schools in Texas" - adding HS in Texas to those articles would be redundant. Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 21:41, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Regarding the CFISD wikitable, I removed mascot and colors as they are not that important to a school. Also I corrected locations as all but Jersey Village are in unincorporated areas (none of the CFISD high schools are in the city limits of Katy and Houston, and Cypress is not an incorporated area) - And the school population figures date too quickly.

Page titles
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Randall High School a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Randall High School (Amarillo, Texas). This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. R'n'B (call me Russ) 16:21, 20 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Incidentally, according to our article title guidelines, it usually isn't desirable to include a qualifier in parentheses like "(Amarillo, Texas)" unless this is needed to distinguish the article from articles about other schools with the same name. I don't see any other "Randall High School" articles on Wikipedia.  --R'n'B (call me Russ) 16:23, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

The reason I included (Amarillo, Texas) in the title is because the school is actually in the city limits of Amarillo even though it is Canyon ISD school. Thanks for the heads up on how to retitle an article. Indyjrg1762 (talk) 23:40, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Texas schools
Hi. Thanks for the Mason High School add. Depending on what you're working on, Category:Education in Texas by county might contain some relevant subcategories for you. Having said that, I just looked at your User page. You've done good!

And a piece of advice about the assessments on the Talk Page of any article. If you consider yourself part of WikiProject Texas, then just put your own assignment on there. There's not a lot of user activity in this project right now, and as you can see by looking at the project's main page, there are already over 2,000 unassessed articles under the project. If you want an assessment on your page, put it on yourself. The Texas project will never catch up with the backlog. Maile66 (talk) 15:08, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject Texas
I would appreciate it if you would have a look at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Texas, specifically about the Redesign of the project's main page, and about it joining WikiProject United States. For all intents and purposes, this project has reached a comatose state of involvement. Editors are creating and contributing to Texas articles. But the project site itself has been pretty dead for a long time. Anything you can add to the current discussions on that page would be appreciated. Maile66 (talk) 21:09, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Texline High School
Hi! I notice you started Texline High School The thing is, while urban school districts can have articles on distinct schools, Texline ISD only has one school, and it might be best to have everything in one article WhisperToMe (talk) 12:09, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Texline
Hi! I don't think much information was lost at all. Let's review the changes. If you compare the articles carefully, there was little unique info in the "Texline HS" article. The unique part, the history, was consolidated easily. Other stuff, such as athletic mascots, enrollment, etc. can easily be posted at the district article. WhisperToMe (talk) 00:17, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Pre-merge Texline ISD
 * Pre-merge Texline HS
 * Merging into new article

Now, you ask "I need to know what I can do to prevent this with the other articles I have created" - Well, you'll have to find enough unique information about a subject through reliable secondary sources. Using Google News and Google Books to find information can help easily.

Now, which article consolidations did you find to be problematic? I can take a look at them and check what could be done about them WhisperToMe (talk) 00:19, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Looking at the article, I have no idea why I reverted. All I can think is that I misclicked something. I'll revert my reversion, back to the way that you had it...Naraht (talk) 04:41, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject United States/The 50,000 Challenge
--MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:40, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia
Hi, WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
