[edit] Nice work on Hillary
Caleb, You're a great photographer with a lot of potential. I can't say I'm supporting the woman but the photo is very good! I wish I could have been there but you did a great job. --Ryanjcole (talk) 20:24, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, I was also amazed by the quality of your Hillary Clinton picture. May I have permission to use a thumbnail size version of it for an assignment in my journalism class? Obviously it would have the necessary attribution. I promise I won't profit off of it ;). Bardiak (talk) 23:16, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your offer
Thanks for your willingness to contribute photos. Some of us at Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places are working toward capturing pictures and writing articles for all of the sites on the National Register of Historic Places. We are well on our way for Ramsey, Hennepin, Dakota, and Scott Counties. We could use some help and incentive to work on Rice County. Here are the sites in Northfield to get you started. Any missing ones that you could shoot and upload would be highly appreciated:

If you could upload them to Commons, that would be great. Thanks in advance!--Appraiser (talk) 17:29, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Saavedra
What information should I add to the Abelardo Saavedra article? WhisperToMe (talk) 18:59, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, I added some stuff about the CCISD alcohol incidents. But, uhm, what should I say that Saavedra did while at Houston ISD? Which accomplishments would be credited to him, and which accomplishments would not be credited to him? WhisperToMe (talk) 19:42, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] WP:WPSCH/A
Welcome to the team, if you need any help with assessments just ask. Camaron | Chris (talk) 16:19, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Excellent, I have moved your assessments in the assessment request listing down into the main assessment log so a record of your assessments is kept. I will try and go through them if I have the time. Camaron | Chris (talk) 17:21, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- I would suggest you just cross out assessment requests in the assessment requests section and sign as I do; then place actual comments on the assessment on the main assessment summaries section. The content of assessment request is frequently deleted while that in the assessment summaries is kept. I have moved more of your assessments so they are not lost. Camaron | Chris (talk) 20:22, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] high
Hi ... thanks for the note. I agree its high but I would have given it a stsrt (as a B requires quite a few third party refs ... and they are not here). It also has a lot of "peacock language" ... better they quote independent reviewers and ref them . I see Chris is looking after you ... you'll do well Victuallers (talk) 08:46, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Edison High School
Hi! Not sure why you took the stub category off of Edison High School (Minnesota). Seems pretty darn stubby to me (and I wrote most of it). I've put it back. Curious what your reasoning is. Nice pics, BTW --Natcase (talk) 03:52, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Jasper Place High School Assessment
Awesome, thanks very much--I'll get to work on it. DreamHaze (talk) 04:01, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Plagarism removed from Shawnigan Lake School article.
Please see talk page of Shawnigan Lake School. I discovered that the History section was a near word-for-word plagiarism of http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/cgi-bin/text2html/finding/government/.ms_finding//MS-1485.txt and this needs to cited correctly. It is cited in-text once, but that is it.
I discovered this during a requested assessment of this article. The rest looks good. — Calebrw (talk) 21:09, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know and for helping out with assessments, we need more dedicated assessors and you seem to be showing some gusto. First, thank you for removing the plagiarized content. As I don't do a google search of every article I assess I often miss this sort of thing. Second, I don't mean to be nitpicky but it is probably best not to copy over the whole request to the assessment on the Assessments page as the strike-throughs are a little misleading, probably just me but I like the assessment archive to look clean so people can se what's being done. Last, you might take a crack at rewriting the removed history section to avoid plagiarism and then cite it correctly. Remember that many of these articles are written by those unfamiliar with wikipedia "best practices" so it's always best to lend a helping hand and not just point to the problem. Overall, it looks like you're doing great work. Keep it up and you'll be an "Experienced" assessor in no time flat. Adam McCormick (talk) 05:30, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Also, you should consider posting assessments on each article's talk page using the "info" parameter of the banner, this adds a greeting and and explanation of who you are along with your assessment. Adam McCormick (talk) 05:33, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- It was me that copied the entire assessment request over so the assessment comments were archived correctly, I did have the time to go through and remove the assessment request themselves. I have now finished this off. Camaron | Chris (talk) 17:30, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- I have had to remove the contents on the talk page as it is copyrighted and cannot stay on any name space on Wikipedia. Camaron | Chris (talk) 18:57, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks for the assessment!
Thank you for taking the time to assess Windham High School (Windham, Ohio). I agree with your assessment, and will be working to improve the article. -- JeffBillman (talk) 17:17, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Barnstar
After watching your actions at WP:WPSCH/A, I think you deserve this:

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar | |
| I award Celebrw this barnstar for being a productive contributor to the assessment team at WikiProject Schools. In particular managing to massively reduce the horrendous backlog with assessment requests. Well done! Camaron | Chris (talk) 18:01, 11 June 2008 (UTC) |

[edit] Articleissues
I'm concerned about the manner in which you are using {{Articleissues}}. I'm sure you are applying the template with the best of intentions, but you seem to be adding every possibly relevant tag. I imagine you're considering it from the standpoint of categories - it's certainly helpful to add articles to the cleanup categories - but please consider, also, what you are doing to the appearance of the article, and the effect it will have on the article's editors. Look at this version of an article you recently tagged: you added 17 tags to a 7 sentence article. Five of those tags are related to citations. You've also tagged it as needing both a copyedit and a complete rewrite, and marked it with two general cleanup tags. If I were a regular editor of this article, I'd be appalled, frankly. Please reconsider your approach: wouldn't everyone be better served if you use only the most relevant tags? Thank you. Maralia (talk) 03:56, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
