The reason I redirected your article on Campus Middle School is that, according to the guidelines at Wikipedia:Schools, it does not meet the notability criteria for inclusion. Basically, a school must meet at least one criterion of several listed there. If it does not, we try to redirect it to the school district, which is what I've done in this case. If you can demonstrate the school's notability in some way, please feel free to modify your article, and it should be able to stand. Denni talk 02:27, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
New pages
I know you're new to Wikipedia, and don't know all the ins and outs yet, but one thing you should be aware of is that hundreds of articles an hour (that's right, an hour) are submitted to us. It is the job of a number of editors who patrol the new pages to make snap decisions on keeping, redirecting, deleting, or otherwise assigning articles. Typically, about 15% of new articles are immediately deleted, most often because they do not assert the importance or notability of their subject or they are outright nonsense. School articles in such a category are not often deleted, but where possible redirected to their local school board. That was the case with your article. Wikipedia:Schools (click on this link) will give you the criteria by which schools are deemed notable. Because inadequate articles are frequently deleted right away, it is a good plan to make sure your article can stand on its own immediately so as to make the first cut. You can be sure that an article whose sole contents are "more coming" or "under construction" will absolutely not meet our fairly generous standards. I would also note that, in my experience, eighty percent of school articles do not progress much, if at all, past the point where they started. So an article that comes in weak should expect to be redirected or even possibly deleted. Regarding your question on the perfect SAT score, this would not be considered to make the school notable, though it is possible that it might help make the student notable depending on how rare this is. As a friendly BTW, I'd suggest you revise your IQ score downward - I know of no IQ test that claims reliability beyond 180. Cheers, Denni talk 01:46, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
That is not true. Both Heero and I have scores of over 190, and he has more than 200. The highest scoring person ever had an IQ of 226, so by saying what you just said, you'd be denying, say, five thousand kids in history who scored more than 180 70.59.3.216 13:50, 10 November 2007 (UTC)(Nick of Nickness in Colorado)
Campus Middle School
Blue Ribbon School would definitely be a point of notability for this school - a very high standard is required to achieve it. I don't know about mathcounts - that depends very much on how many other schools win it in a given year. If only one school per state wins it annually, then that's obviously grounds for notability. If it's awarded to 20% of schools in a state each month, then it's not. I'm not familiar with the award, so I can't say. Other things you might try to find out is if this school has any notable alumni, has any programs which might make it notable (for example, a school band which has placed at a state or national level), or has a historical relevance (started in 1902, say). Again, check WP:SCHOOLS for other criteria which give schools notability. Cheers, Denni talk 23:46, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- You're welcome - glad to be able to assist. In my estimation (and I'm hard to please when it comes to school articles), the Campus Middle School article is now suitable for Wikipedia. Thanks for your effort - it looks much better than most school articles we get. Denni talk 01:48, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Your password
Hoping you're able to get to your talk page.
From the Help page:
What if I forget the password?
If you enter an e-mail address when signing up for the account, or in your Preferences, you can request on the login screen for a temporary password to be sent to that address, which will allow you to retrieve your account. If you did not enter an e-mail address, or the address was out of date, but you are determined to regain access to the account, you might be able to persuade someone with direct access to the database that it is your account, and ask them to retrieve it for you.
It may be that you did not include your email address when you set up your prefs. If that is the case, Wikipedia has no way to email youi a new password. I don't know anyone who has direct access to the database, so if I were you, I'd leave a message at Wikipedia:Help Desk, and someone there may be able to point you in the right direction.
Sorry I couldn't have been of more help. Good luck! Denni talk 19:15, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

No problem; WP:TWINKLE makes it easy. The reasons for vandalism are indeed mysterious. I suppose some people just have nothing better to do and feel the urge to hurt others' work in order to raise their own self-esteem. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cielomobile (talk • contribs) 03:07, 23 March 2007 (UTC).
Notice
A tag has been placed on Plains Conservation Center, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -jj137 T/C 20:16, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- At the time I tagged the article it did not have enough content for an article. -jj137 T/C 22:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Re: Mathematics competitions
Thanks for notifying me. I'll do what I can to establish notability for these articles.
Where does the user you mentioned say that? Do you mean here? There, it doesn't seem that he mentioned the other two articles.

- Thanks. I hope he feels the same... Do you know how do you do that thing in the notes if you have two facts with the same source and they're listed as a) and b)? I used to know, but I forgot. Temperalxy 03:45, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
- Never mind, I figured it out, but thanks anyways. Temperalxy 03:48, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
A list you could add my article to
Since you were interested in proper categorization of the article on me, David Eppstein, earlier, and since someone else saw fit to remove the link to my livejournal from the article: what would you think about adding my name to List of LiveJournal users? My LJ username is 11011110. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:10, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Exconjugant, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot.

Speedy deletion of Colorado Amendment 58 (2008)
A tag has been placed on Colorado Amendment 58 (2008) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 16:57, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Colorado Amendment 58 (2008)
I have nominated Colorado Amendment 58 (2008), an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colorado Amendment 58 (2008). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 02:15, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
WikiProject Colorado
The year 2011 has brought many changes to the State of Colorado. Several users have asked us to reactivate WikiProject Colorado. We have a new Governor and other state officers, two new U.S. Representatives, many new state legislators, and a new Mayor of Denver. Many articles about Colorado need to be updated and many Colorado places, people, and organizations need new articles. Portal:Colorado needs some new featured articles.
Can you help us? Please see our list of some requested articles. If you would like to remain an active member of WikiProject Colorado, please leave me a message at User talk:Buaidh or e-mail me at Special:EmailUser/Buaidh. If you cannot help right now, you can go to inactive status and then reactivate your status later. Thanks for any help you can provide. Yours aye, Buaidh 18:03, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Suggestion for WikiProject United States to support WikiProject Colorado
It was recently suggested that WikiProject Colorado, to which you are a member, may be inactive or semi-active and it might be beneficial to include it in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States. After reviewing the project it appears that there haven't been much active discussion on the talk page in some time and the only content updates appear to be simple maintenance so being supported by a larger project might be beneficial. I have begun a discussion on the projects talk page to see how the members of the project feel about this suggestion. Another user has added the project to the WPUS template and I added it to the list of supported projects in the WPUS main project page but before I take any further action I wanted to contact each of the active members for their input. --Kumioko (talk) 23:33, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
The article Plains Conservation Center has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- No sources since tagged with {{Notability}} in December 2007.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Optimist Brain Bowl
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Optimist Brain Bowl requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organized event (tour, function, meeting, party, etc.) that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. SITH (talk) 17:20, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
