Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Foreign policy of the United States. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism. Thank you.

Hello Ollieinc/Archives,
It seems to me that an article you worked on, Rangiora High School, may be copied from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZM7jaQSwII. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.
It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.
Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 21:21, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of "The most amazing town ever"
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A page you created, The most amazing town ever, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it redirects from an implausible misspelling.
You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.
Thank you. 🍺 Antiqueight confer 22:17, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for November 6
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Rangiora High School, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Waimakariri (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hatnotes
Please don't create hatnotes pointing to school houses. The school houses are not notable, and if you tried to create articles about them I think they would be deleted very promptly. They also do not have the same name as the person they are named after - the house name might be "Hillary", but the article on the person is at Edmund Hillary. It is unlikely that anyone will go the the Edmund Hillary article looking for information on the house. Finally, there are often numerous items named after famous people. See Ernest Rutherford#Items named in honour of Rutherford's life and work as an example. It would be silly to try to create hatnotes for all of the things listed in that section.-gadfium 01:44, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
File:Rangiora High School A and M block.jpg missing description details

Thanks for uploading File:RHS map.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Conflict of interest rules
Based on your statement on your user page,
Hello, Olliechick. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 03:53, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
because you have not provided a reliably published source for the claim
see WP:V. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 04:26, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
- I don't have an XLS reader so I cannot see what the contents of the spreadsheet are. the site's URL www.educationcounts.govt.nz would be a general indication that it is probably "reliable" but also a that it is a primary source document that should be used with great caution so it is not misused. and the fact that it is in a spreadsheet format gives concern that it is a working document and not some sort of published format. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 12:11, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
- in that case it should only be used for a statement like "as of [X date] Rangiora has an enrollment of Y"
- making comparisons using a constantly dynamic document would not be "verifiable". -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 23:04, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
In regard your recent posting at Teahouse
Hi, Ollie. I am one of the Teahouse hosts. Thanks for coming by and asking your question. I am glad you got your question answered somewhere.
The reason I am writing you is to let you know that you cannot just remove something you say in a forum here. It is certainly ok for you to copyedit it; it is ok for you to remove most anything from your own user talk page. But it isn't ok to take things back elsewhere. You see, every edit you make on Wikipedia becomes Wikipedia's as soon as you press that save button. If you will notice at the bottom of the edit window it says "By clicking the "Save page" button, you agree to the Terms of Use, and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL." I put your question back, and here is why: Even though I cannot answer your question ( I haven't a clue when it comes to audio files), someone may be able to answer it and the answer may help educate another editor. Teahouse is actually about new users learning how to use Wikipedia, not about answering specific questions from new users. The idea is that many may benefit from an answer directed at one. Hope you understand that. It is a great question! Welcome to Wikipedia, Ollie. We are glad you are here! John from Idegon (talk) 09:10, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
- You know, I need to apologize for this. You are more than welcome to redact your comments anywhere. It is however, my feeling that removing a question from a help type page like teahouse serves no purpose, because even if it got answered for you elsewhere, the answer there could still serve to educate another editor. As a matter of fact if you feel up to it, given the situation, it would be great if you were to go back there and answer your own question. This is a collaborative project and it is always a good thing to educate another editor! Sorry if we got off on the wrong foot. I do a lot with US schools; if I can ever be of assistance, please drop a note on my talk page. Happy editing! John from Idegon (talk) 03:14, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
Multi image pdfs
![]() | This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can , contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse. |
How how do i put pdfs in a multiple image template (see User:Olliechick/Multi image pdf test )? I can do it but don't know how to change what page shows for each image (ie I want page 4 of the pdf File:NCEA example paper.pdf to show for the second image).
- Use the syntax [[File:NCEA example paper.pdf|page=4]] standalone, or NCEA example paper.pdf{{!}}page=4 inside templates. I made the necessary change to User:Olliechick/Multi image pdf test for you; you can see exactly how it's done there. Jackmcbarn (talk) 14:56, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Rangiora High School A and M block.jpg
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/32px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Rangiora High School A and M block.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:41, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Rangiora High School crest.jpg
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thank you for uploading File:Rangiora High School crest.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:42, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Mitre 10 Dream Home logo
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Mitre 10 Dream Home logo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, image description page, image talk page, mediawiki page, mediawiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, or user talk page from the article space.
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 "Click here to 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 removed 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.

howdy
Hello, Olliechick, you can call me 74. We had a short conversation about the spreadsheet-file for the relative size of students at a school, once. Did you get all that stuff figured out to your satisfaction? Also, it looks like the ZealousImageCopyrightWikiCops are spamming you just a wee bit. You want some help with that noise? Maybe I can help you and sfan00 work something out. :-) Thanks for improving wikipedia. p.s. You can reply here, but please feel free to ping my talkpage, if I don't respond promptly. 74.192.84.101 (talk) 07:53, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Deleted house results
Hey, I just wanted to explain why I deleted the house results. The reason is that there was no context to really explain anything or to show why it's important enough to be included on Wikipedia. While we are a repository of information, we are not indiscriminate, meaning that we don't cover every aspect of any particular article topic. While I'm sure that as a student of this school the house results are important to you and may even be seen as an all encompassing and critical aspect of your daily life. It's just that as far as Wikipedia goes the yearly house results isn't really all that notable or important. This sort of specific detail belongs on the school's website and not Wikipedia. I hope this doesn't come across as overly harsh, just that we can't and shouldn't cover every aspect of something on Wikipedia. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:57, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
