Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. That's great info about your high school, but it really needs to be sourced.

[edit] October 2006

In reference to: http://www.networkworld.com/community/?q=node/9046 While there is no policy to my knowledge on Wikipedia about your editing from work, the article mentioned on Talk:Jim Talent (which I've reposted here) suggests it may well be illegal for you to do so in this situation. As a word of friendly advice, you may wish to cease editing, at least temporarily, until you can in fact determine if there is any merit to the claims brought in the article. Thanks! ~Kylu (u|t) 03:39, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
