[edit] Matt lurie

The article Matt lurie has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki 07:18, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thomas Sabino Benowitz

A tag has been placed on Thomas Sabino Benowitz, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. science4sail talkcon 02:52, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your school's block

I'm not sure which account you are referring to (I block lots of schools every day) but here's how I look at the school block situation:

  • Everyone is still able to read Wikipedia, just not edit it. You can't edit Encyclopedia Britannica or the New York Times, but that doesn't mean they're useless for educational purposes.
  • If editing is really that important, anyone can create an account outside school and then use it to sign in at school.
  • Teachers can avoid getting their school blocked in the first place by maintaining better supervision in their classrooms and making sure their students are not vandalizing articles. If they can't be bothered to do that, then the school as a whole will suffer.

Most school blocks only last for a few months at the very most, and many are only for a day or two at a time. We want to encourage contributions, but our priority is to create a quality encyclopedia. Kafziel Talk 14:48, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
