Original research
[edit]Thanks for your question at Wikipedia:Citing sources. One of wikipedias central principles is that of no original research. Unless I misunderstood, that is what you were seeking to use. Check out WP:SCHOOLS for more discussion on the school issue. It has been controversial for a long time -- I would recommend avoiding it if possible ;). Best of luck, feel free to drop questions my way. ∴ here…♠ 00:17, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
YHS article
[edit]Allo as well! I do not know who Brian Singer is. I merely edited the article to show that it had the International Baccalaureate program. User:Pandemoniumexpress (talk)

The article Caroline Polachek has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.
Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 04:31, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
Custom signature fix needed
[edit]Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.
The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error, specifically formatting tags that are in the wrong order.
The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.
- Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
- Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
- Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
- Remove anything in the Signature: text box.
- Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
- Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
- Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
- Change the signature as shown below, or make other edits to make the signature appear how you want it to appear.
- Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.
Current signature:
'''<font size="1">[[User:Phentos|phentos]]'''<sup>''[[User_talk:Phentos|t]][[Special:Contributions/Phentos|c]]''</sup></font>
Fixed signature:
<span style="font-size: x-small;">'''[[User:Phentos|phentos]]'''<sup>''[[User_talk:Phentos|t]][[Special:Contributions/Phentos|c]]''</sup></span>
More information is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:07, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
