Hello- Please don't add links to common vocabulary words. See WP:OVERLINK. Eric ^talk 18:25, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi: I am really please that you went on a link binge directing folk to High school (North America) and I think there are still plenty more still to do. If you have a moment and the experience, could you read through that article and leave any comments you have on the talk page. You might like to have a look at Category:North American school stubs which are lists of articles that need the sort of improvements you are so good at. --ClemRutter (talk) 11:29, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Tipton Catholic High School, you may be blocked from editing. Eric ^talk 11:29, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Edit summaries, overlinking

Please explain your contributions using a descriptive edit summary. Changing information on Wikipedia (such as numbers and dates) without explanation, as you did at Malaria, may be confused with vandalism. Ditto for pretty much every other edit you've made. Also, please see WP:OVERLINK Eric ^talk 13:02, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Chaminade High School, you may be blocked from editing. Wikipedia is not a user's guide. If sources independent of the school (and the church isn't) do not discuss the fact, then the fact is not significant enough to include. John from Idegon (talk) 23:43, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Kings Park High School, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. American high schools do not use the descriptors of "selective" or "comprehensive". Please do not add these terms to articles on American schools. —C.Fred (talk) 02:24, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

A bit further on comprehensive: almost all US high schools are comprehensive. Comprehensive simply means they provide all three main educational tracks: general, college prep and career oriented. It is only necessary to say if they aren't. Same with coed. "Selective" isn't a term used to broadly describe an American school. It may be true that a school is selective, but we'd only mention that if it were the subject of discussion by reliable secondary sources. John from Idegon (talk) 03:01, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Stuyvesant High School uses entrance exams so it is a selective school. [1] Zoe1013 (talk) 03:04, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

No, Zoe, a single source has described it as such. Many schools are built of red brick; and you'd likely find sources verifying it for many. That doesn't make "red brick" a type of school. There are five broad catagories of school type. First is funding - either public (tax supported) or private (tuition and donation/endowment funded). Schools sponsored by churches are sometimes also referred to as parochial or the religion's name (eg Seventh-Day Adventist school). Second is grade level - either primary or secondary. These are very traditional established terms. Primary schools teach the so called 3r's. Secondary schools teach more practical stuff like sciences, social sciences, applied writing, literature, music and art, physical education and career courses. In the US, the break was traditionally between grades 6 and 7; recently however, that break has been between 5 and 6, and in some systems, between 4 and 5. Third is the make up of the student body - either coed or single sex. In the US, it isn't necessary to state a school is coed, as almost all are. In Britain, where single sex education is much more common, it is necessary. The fourth is cachement - either zoned or magnet. This only applies to public schools and it isn't necessary to say zoned (only about 2% of US public secondary schools are magnet schools). Fifth is educational emphasis - either comprehensive or specialized (college preparatory; vocational - or more commonly in recent times, STEM; general education).

The term "independent" should almost never be used as a school type in the US. Why? In US usage, it means the same thing as private. It has a different distinct meaning in British usage, making it confusing to use where private would work. There is one place where "independent" would be appropriate. Catholic diocese and archdiocese sometimes sponsor what are essentially private school districts. However, within those "jurisdictions", there are some Catholic schools that are run by the various orders (Jesuit, Marist, etc). In this narrow situation, a description of "Independent Catholic school" would be appropriate.

If you were writing about a car, that car would be a full-size, compact or subcompact; it would be a sedan; a coupe; a sportscar; or an SUV; it would be a hardtop or convertible. Those are the types of cars. It might have a V-8 or be pink; those are characteristics, not types.

Finally, no one has said anything you have added was a lie. Verifiability is a pillar policy, but it will tell you also that verifiability does not guarantee inclusion. Inclusion is decided by consensus, generally on the article's talk page. John from Idegon (talk) 11:25, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

June 2020

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Long Beach High School (New York). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. We have already asked you to stop adding these terms to US high schools,and we have explained why. Meters (talk) 03:49, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

And please read WP:MINOR. These would not be minor edits even if you didn't already know that other editors disagree with the changes. Meters (talk) 03:51, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Zoe1013! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. These are not minor edits. And per WP:NOTBROKEN you should not change the North American school redirects. We are using those redirects rather than State school because it is a more appropriate target for these schools. Please stop. Meters (talk) 05:51, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add COVID-19 categories to school articles. Yes the schools were closed because of COVID. So was every school on the continent, and many companies as well. We don't need to add that category to all those articles. Meters (talk) 10:03, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

July 2020

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Kings Park High School. Oh, for Pete's sake! Adding those articles on this school's article is at best, totally clueless. They apply equally to every educational institution and add no knowledge whatsoever to an individual institution. You have edited other school articles. Ever see that before? Why should we see it here? John from Idegon (talk) 07:54, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Manhasset Secondary School. Eric ^talk 14:18, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Do you understand that you may be blocked if you continue making these inappropriate category additions? They are disruptive, even if you are making the edits in good faith. And stop marking them as minor. They are not WP:MINOR] edits. Meters (talk) 22:03, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Materialscientist (talk) 10:44, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Bellport High School. You are just back from a block and you have returned to adding inappropriate categories. Do not add parent categories that already contain the existing category. Any schools in Category:Public high schools in New York (state) are already included in Category:Public high schools in the United States Meters (talk) 06:32, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Nomination of Reply All (comic strip) for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Reply All (comic strip) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reply All (comic strip) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. James Richards (talk) 09:56, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

More mass-edits

Hi Zoe, I've started a discussion about your latest batch of mass-edits at WikiProject Schools, and mass-reverted many of your recent edits because they disrupt the flow of articles' opening sentences. It is fine to be bold but at the moment you're being reckless and causing disruption, which could land you with another block, perhaps a lengthy/permanent one. As a relatively inexperienced user you shouldn't be trying to make mass changes ... but if you insist on doing so, please get consensus at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Schools first. Graham87 15:43, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Short stature ‎. Stop inserting your opinions into articles. We don't care what you think should be the criterion for a woman to be considered "short". You made a complete mess of this article, which ended up claiming that some women who were "short" (by your claim) were actually taller then some men who were not considered short. Meters (talk) 03:15, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Book cover 101.jpeg

A tag has been placed on File:Book cover 101.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "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 deleted 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. Schazjmd (talk) 16:04, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Adding comment: I am not a copyright expert, and it may be that the reviewing administrator will decide I'm incorrect, but I believe an image of copyrighted book cover can only be uploaded to Wikipedia under fair use criteria. And the use of this book's cover in Young adult fiction would not meet the criteria for fair use. Schazjmd (talk) 16:12, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm HaeB. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Sneeze, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. HaeB (talk) 23:35, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Dwarfism, you may be blocked from editing. Stop pushing this. Yes, dwarves are of short stature, but that does not mean that all things that have short stature are dwarves. They are not synonyms.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for edit warring, as you did at Small schools movement. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:08, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Hairribbon101.jpeg

The file File:Hairribbon101.jpeg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Orphaned personal image of common object, no particular encyclopedic value.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 11:13, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
