Bentonia School

Hello Bentonia School! Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I think its very important for you to browse through some of the links below so as to become familiar with how Wikipedia works. If you need any help you can ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and another Wikipedian will show up shortly. Please remember to sign your name on talk pages by clicking or by typing four tildes "~~~~"; this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you're already loving Wikipedia and plan on becoming a Wikipedian you might consider being "adopted" by a more experienced editor, just paste {{Adoptme}} into your userpage and you will gladly be adopted! You might also consider joining a WikiProject so as to collaborate with others in creating and improving articles of your interest. Click here for a directory of all the WikiProjects. Finally, please do your best to always fill in the edit summary field. Happy editing!

Awesome, thanks. I've put up the flag for an editor to adopt me. I look forward to making sufficient additions to articles within my scope of interest. See you around. --Bentonia School 08:25, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Adoption

So! How's life? Found any wikiprojects you would have an interest in? frummer 17:06, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Life's good. Yourself? I'm for the music Wikiprojects and have suggested starting a Blues Wikiproject under the genres list. I would dig being part of that. What do you think? --Bentonia School 07:06, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Your userpage

I just wanted to let you know that I greatly enjoy your userpage. It's simple and highly elegant. -- Kicking222 03:28, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. Maybe I'll see you around the Wiki. --Bentonia School 11:21, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Question

Hey. Erm, have you been adopted yet, because the userbox on your page says you have been adopted. If you have, please remove it :)   •The RSJ•   Talk | Sign Here 00:57, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

That's strange. On my view of my userpage, the 'This User is seeking adoption' box is still up. As far as I know, I haven't been adopted. One Wikipedian offered and then didn't get back to me. --Bentonia School 09:55, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Adoption

You seem to be figuring things out quite well. Like the userpage. If you'd like some help still, would be happy to provide it. Seraphimblade 14:03, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Mount Everest

You put the case for changing to 8850 m on the talk page, then deleted it. I do not know if you wish to pursue this issue, but if you do, then please could you not edit Mount Everest until the case has been debated. As you can see from Talk:Edmund Hillary, I will be opposing your case unless you can supply better evidence than a single GPS survey by the NGS. Viewfinder 10:14, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Light Side

I meant they do use the term "Light Side". Barraki 22:37, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Sella

He's called Vittorio Sella. Look here. [1] Ericoides 14:18, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Wynonie Harris

Do you still have an interest in Wynonie Harris? There has been a lot of work done on that page recently. (Only some of it by me). You might like to have a look. Do you have any (more) references you can contribute? Pdfpdf 22:28, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Things look good in the article. Thanks for putting more stuff in. If anything comes to mind, I'll contact you and add it. Be well. --Bentonia School 05:05, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Glad you like it. A lot of the work was done by Wikitoddia (Talk). I look forward to hearing from you. Pdfpdf 11:35, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Sherpa people

I saw your post about starting a wikiproject on Sherpa people. If you are starting it, count me in. Thanks.--Eukesh 18:52, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Username

Is Bentonia School your name or has it other meanings? Pardon me for asking, but I've never come across the last name School. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.100.44 (talk) 00:07, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

You've probably never come across the given name 'Bentonia' either. Bentonia School. --Bentonia School 09:58, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Right, so is Bentonia School your name? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.100.44 (talk) 02:13, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment I have moved the above discussion from the Dalai Lama talk page as the IP users questions have nothing whatsoever to do with improving the article. Also they are of a personal nature and as such are relevant to a users talk page. By all means remove them if you think they shouldn't be on here of course! ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 14:13, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Hey, I know it is almost 2 years after your post, but...well, in October 2007 you made a post about some references about Bram Stoker not basing his character on Vlad. I have created a new subject on the bottom of the talk page. It is titled "Eleonore von Schwarzenberg". There is some evidence that Dracula was actually based on her.
