Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited MY Steve Irwin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Perth (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello,
I notice that you aren't currently subscribed to Ichthus, the WikiProject Christianity newsletter. Witha new format, we would be delighted to offer you a trial three-month, money-back guarantee, subscription to our newsletter. If you are interested then please add your name tothis list, and you will receive your first issue shortly. From June 2013 we are starting a new "in focus" section that tells our readers about an interesting and important groups of articles. The first set is about Jesus, of course. We have also started a new book review section and our own "did you know" section. In the near future I hope to start a section where a new user briefly discusses their interests.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 21:04, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Attention: Potions in Harry Potter will be placed for AfD on June 4, 2016
(You are receiving this notice due to your having made some edits to the article discussed or its talk page sometime during its history)
In November of 2007
Throughout the history of the article, which spans more than a decade, it has never had any references. It has always been written in in-universe style. No outside universe perspective has ever been provided. As of June 2016, it will have been tagged for both of these problems for a year. I have asked, begged, and pleaded with people to rewrite this article to no avail. As the article stands (and has always stood), it continues to fail
Barring a massive rewrite of the entire article into something that is encyclopedic in its treatment of the subject, I will be placing it for deletion on June 4, 2016. This notice is being sent as a last ditch attempt to find one or more people willing to do something to fix the serious problems extant in this content. Thank you for your attention, --Hammersoft (talk) 17:19, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

School enrollment
Please use NCES for enrollment stats for US schools. The number from the sanctioning body isn't an accurate representation of the school enrollment. It includes kids who could participate on a school's athletic teams. Some of those kids are homeschooled or attended private schools without athletics programs. It also does not include kids who do attend the school but are not athletics-eligable for various reasons (academic, marital status, age). We use NCES to provide a level table for comparisons between schools, as it samples the same dataset for all US schools, irregardless of public/private status or state. John from Idegon (talk) 22:11, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
Yes, well, the problem with your rather dogmatic claim and viewpoint is that data you prefer is absolutely out of date (by 7 years!) and thus inaccurate: the school in question is now a combination of two schools, with nearly double the previous enrollment. But by all means, carry on with your preference for inaccuracies and ignore the principles of
