Hi there @Denver LeBlanc, I see that you’re working on the Hampton High School article and I’d love to help out if I can. I did an extensive amount of work on Kennebecasis Valley High School and I’m interested in expanding my work out to other schools in NB, so if you need some help finding sources or expanding details feel free to ask me for help.

Hi, @B3251! I seen your work on KVHS and assume that was your graduate school, and was quite impressed! I would appreciate the help, thanks for the offer! Denver LeBlanc (talk) 23:35, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah for sure, I’m actually graduating this year and I noticed you making edits to Hampton since I have a bunch of NB-related articles on my watchlist. Just by looking at the article some things I can suggest are:

You can make an enrollment category like the one on the KVHS article, along with looking in the yearly New Brunswick Summary Statistics page to use as sources
Using archive.org and searching the school to see if anything shows up, personally I did this for KVHS and there’s quite a bit of archives, though mostly dead links, that show up
I also sometimes found success by searching on google “KVHS”, “KV High”, or “Kennebecasis Valley High School” in double quotations and searching news to see if anything of interest could be added, or I would use those search terms, still in double quotations, and add “html” or “pdf” or other file extension names, this sometimes helped in finding documents and it helped me find a source for the year KVHS was established, before I started paying to access the Telegraph-Journal newspaper archives - which I’ve been able to use to write a history section. I’m not finished on it, since I’ve been busy with work or other Wikipedia projects, but I plan on coming back to it soon

Lastly, at least as far as I can think of for now, the school could use a panoramic photo taken of it. I’m not sure if you go there, but in case you do, taking a photo of the building even just with a phone camera should do the job, it’s what I did with the KVHS article and if you want to upload any image to Wikipedia you can do so on the https://commons.wikimedia.org/ page!

Thanks for the help, B3251! Just wondering what do you like most about your school, academics, athletics? Also thanks I will read through your suggestions and add it to the article. Denver LeBlanc (talk) 12:33, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I like the academics a lot, i kind of wish I got involved more when I had the chance (although starting lockdown in my first year definitely dwindled my opportunity) but overall I enjoyed my time B3251 (talk) 15:42, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's good to hear! Are there any sports you were into during your time? Denver LeBlanc (talk) 15:49, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn’t in to sports, but I did participate in some computer-science related activities - which I am also going to study in university :) B3251 (talk) 16:03, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds fun! I love athletics and I'm an athlete myself and I just got into this sort of thing and I'm mostly doing it because I'm in the schools representative council and I want to help the school Denver LeBlanc (talk) 16:16, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

May 2023[edit]

Hello, I'm Adakiko. An edit you recently made to Hampton High School (New Brunswick) seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 23:25, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Adakiko, just wondering if you make changes to pages that I edit Denver LeBlanc (talk) 23:28, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, you did make a mistake. You deleted the grid, however, that was not the test. I tested a feature on the grid, but the test wasn't the grid itself. Could you re add the grid to Hampton High School (New Brunswick)? Thanks! Denver LeBlanc (talk) 23:31, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There was also text that was removed that I would like back Denver LeBlanc (talk) 23:32, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My apology on the warning. I don't remember why I left it. The page must have misloaded on me; that version appears good now. Would you please add citations to the "School campus" and "Athletics" sections? Also the source for the mascot's name is Wikipedia which makes it a wp:CIRCULAR reference. Please find a wp:reliable source? wp:citing sourced.

If you want someone's attention, please use their talk page, in this case user talk:Adakiko or use Help:Notifications Add {{ping|Adakiko}} - Beware, tricky - need to add the ping and signature ~~~~ at the same time or it won't work. You should get a notification on the notice badge

Thank you Adakiko (talk) 17:55, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll change it and add sources for each. Denver LeBlanc (talk) 19:01, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! If you have questions, the wp:Teahouse is a good place to ask. I'm often not around. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 06:22, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't removed maintenance tags such as {{unsourced}} until the issue is resolved. e.g. addition of citations or removal of content. There is a link on the tag on when and how to remove it. Thank you Adakiko (talk) 20:18, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Could you remove the draft: part of the name of my article about Hampton High XC? I don't know if you're able to do that, but if so, that'd be great! It's also ready to be published. Thanks! Denver LeBlanc (talk) 15:50, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
