Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello Theyanfan, welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your edits to James A. Garfield High School (Seattle). I have removed some of the entries you added and cleaned up the others for clarity, relevance, and style. I will also note that many of the physical attributes of the school will become obsolete in a year. When that happens we should add a Garfield Lore section, which could include Alder, Stack, Jimi's alcove, 4th floor pool, notable senior pranks (car and cow in annex), etc. Please click on my name at the end of this post to learn more about me, like what high school I went to ;-). I would be happy to answer any questions you have about Wikipedia and its policies.

In explanation of my changes, Wikipedia is used by people around the globe. Some things just aren't really appropriate for inclusion. Here are some tips on how to be a great editor:
 * Take a look at the Simplified Ruleset.
 * Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page, and the Manual of Style.
 * Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
 * Learn what the proper tags to place on stubs (short articles) are.
 * Learn how Articles for deletion works.
 * Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board.
 * Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
 * Use the Show preview button.
 * Provide an Edit summary.
 * Read the Picture tutorial for help with images and remember to add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload.
 * Create a User page.
 * Be bold.
 * Ignore all rules.
 * If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Topical index.

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the  link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. There are also the help pages for self-help and the village pump and IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance. You should also feel free to ask me on my Talk page.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this:. Four tildes(~) produces your name and the current date. Please do not add this signature to encyclopedia articles you may edit, however, even if you have created them. Wikipedia articles are owned by the community, not by any one person. Again, welcome! &mdash;WAvegetarian&bull; CONTRIBUTIONS TALK &bull; EMAIL &bull; 07:11, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Garfield Article
Okay, I lied. I haven't actually changed it yet. I'm writing a section on the Messenger as well, so it's taking a while. The section you added will be very different when I'm done with it. Please stop editing it for the night, err morning now I guess. Or at least give me 15 minutes to finish up, as much of your efforts will be gone. They simply aren't encyclopedic or noteworthy. &mdash;WAvegetarian TALKCONTRIBSEMAIL 08:14, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
