Howdy
Noticed your recent work on St. Patrick High School (North Platte, Nebraska). Nice job. I've gone through and done some cleaning up, and run down a few extra sources. If you can find some, it'd be good to have more specific data on the enrollment, budget, staff, etc. for the high school, as opposed to the whole NP Catholic Schools system, since the article's supposed to be about the HS.

Looking at your contribution history, I'd venture that you're a fairly new editor. I hope you'll stick around and do more work on Nebraska-related articles; we've got too few editors in Nebraska, particularly outstate. If it'd be of interest to you, let me refer you to WikiProject Nebraska, which is a place for people working on Nebraska-related subjects to share resources and discuss article development and the like. It's been inactive of late, but it'd be nice to see it showing signs of life again.

If you're run into any questions with WP, please feel free to drop me a line at my talk page. I've only been editing for about a year and a half, so I've got no business acting like an old hand; but I'd be glad to offer what help I can. (To leave me a message, by the way, you click on the "Talk" after "Ammodramus", then edit the page as if it were an article. I'd reply to you on this page; and the next time you log in, it'd notify you that you had a new message here.)

Hope to see further contributions from you&mdash;

High-school sports
Could I ask you to join the discussion at Talk:St. Patrick High School (North Platte, Nebraska) concerning high-school state-championship runners-up, fourth places, Good Sportsmanship tropies, etc.? I believe the article guidelines laid out at WikiProject Schools indicate that only championships should be included. You've reverted my edit that removed a large table in favor of a brief paragraph recounting the actual championships; it'd be appropriate for you to justify this reversion, as I've justified my edit at the talk page. Thanks. Ammodramus (talk) 02:50, 23 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Again, could I ask that you join the discussion of whether or not the St. Patrick H.S. article should include the table? I've included a rather lengthy justification of my removal of it.  If you'll put forth your own arguments for keeping it, we can probably reach some kind of consensus; but if you just revert my edits without explanation or justification, we'll just wind up reverting one another's edits ad infinitum.  I won't re-state my arguments here, since the article's talk page is a more appropriate venue for the discussion.  Thanks -- Ammodramus (talk) 21:32, 11 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Please join me in discussing our disagreement over the St. Patrick H.S. article. I don't want to be involved in an edit war, and I'm sure that you don't either.
 * You've made valuable contributions to this article, which is unquestionably a better one for your involvement. However, this doesn't confer ownership of the article; see WP:OWN, in which it's stated, "No one 'owns' any aticle... Disagreements should be calmly resolved, starting with a discussion on the article talk page."
 * I can see that you believe that the article is better with your state-tournament table than without it. I disagree; I've made a case for my position on the talk page; and I'm very willing to consider your arguments supporrting your position, in the hope that we can reach WP:CONSENSUS.  If worst comes to worst, there's a procedure for soliciting the opinion of another editor.  However, the first step should be discussion on the talk page.

 * By "join me in discussing our disagreement", I didn't mean "delete my comments from the talk page" (diff). This is a Wikisolecism: per WP:TPO, there are limited circumstances under which one may delete discussion from a talk page, and those circumstances don't include "disagreeing with the editor whose comments one deletes".
 * Also, when you removed the discussion on the page, you killed the WikiProject banners. I'm sure this was unintentional, but it looks careless.  Ammodramus (talk) 11:24, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
