Sorry about that. The most recent vandalism hadn't shown up in the contrib history yet. When I saw the article history and that there had been another one, I blocked for the usual 24 hours. Daniel Case (talk) 22:56, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Alpha Epsilon Pi

The relationship between fraternity rituals and Masonic ones is well known. It's not an AEPi thing, just a fraternity thing.

Hmm....I'm not sure an editorial about how to increase Mason membership is the best pointer to how fraternities and the Masons are related. Especially with such a small mention about the relationship. Newtman (talk) 02:38, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Andromeda (band)

The first two releases in the discography section are on Century Media Records, which seems to be an important independent metal label. The band thus meets WP:MUSIC criterion #5 for musicians and ensembles, that the band has released two or more albums on an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable. I agree the article could use more information and better sourcing, but it appears that the band is notable and shouldn't be speedy-deleted. Rigadoun (talk) 17:25, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree, based on those metrics, it is notable, no argument. As it's champion, perhaps you can add those facts to the article, so that they're more apparent :) Newtman (talk) 19:07, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Marin Academy

You know, I honestly can't remember where I came across the notion that schools are inherently notable. It's just one of those things that I just always thought was the case. Maybe it's from this, which was apparently removed from the proposal recently. ... discospinster _talk 19:58, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Cool, thanks for following up, I hadn't run across that before. Cheers! Newtman (talk) 20:12, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

FWIW, all secondary schools brought to AfD in the last 10 or 12 months have been ruled to be notable, and kept unless there was some special problem involved. This one certainly would be kept. DGG (talk) 22:51, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Women's history editathon

Hey - Sorry for the late notice, but since you have yourself tagged as living in the Bay Area, I thought you might appreciate notification that we’re having an event Saturday! It’ll be held at Hoyt Hall, an all-women's house of the Berkeley Student Cooperative from 3 to 6 pm tomorrow. The main event page is here. Anyone is welcome to show up, but we’re expecting a significant number of people to come who have literally never edited Wikipedia before. If you’re an experienced Wikipedian who would be able to provide useful help to some of the newbies, your presence would be especially appreciated (and it might be a good idea for you to show up at 2 or 2:30 instead of three. Thanks, Kevin Gorman (talk) 02:06, 6 April 2013 (UTC) I’m AWB’ing this message to all Wikipedians who have tagged themselves in the bay area. I’m sorry if the message isn’t of interest to you; feel free to delete it. I’ll be unlikely to send future messages in a similar way, but if really don’t want to receive future messages of this sort, please let me know.

ArbCom elections are now open!
