The advertising tag has been removed. There is a style for Wikipedia articles that we should all follow. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style. For example, the first sentence of an article should be something like "Keswick Christian School is a school located in ...." There is also a specific style for articles about schools. See, for example, McQuaid Jesuit High School which generally follows that style. Feel free to borrow the "Infobox_University" from that article to put in your article, modifying as needed, of course. Make sure you copy everything between the open and close double braces. The Infobox is easier to use than the complex table you created, and it provides some standardization among articles, which makes it easier for everyone to read and understand. Hint: Use the "Show preview" button to check out your changes and then "Save page" only when you're satisfied everything is okay; that uses less space on the Wikipedia servers and produces a shorter history record. Good luck with your articles. Truthanado 01:21, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See my response to your question on my "talk" page Truthanado 01:50, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations. Keswick Christian School is turning into a very nice, well-written article. A couple of suggestions, if I may, based primarily on the Wikipedia:Manual of Style:

• By convention, section headings only capitalize the first word, except for proper names. You might want to change that in your article. Example: "Name change and growth". I know it's not intuitively obvious to do it that way, and many publications do it differently, but that is the Wikipedia standard.
• The Notables section is typically called "Notable alumni" or "Noted alumni" in similar articles, and the list of alumni that follows is typically in alphabetical order as a bulleted list. It's easier and more consistent to start each item in the list with an asterisk "*" than to have to remember to put the HTML carriage-return-line-feed "<br>" at the end of each line.
• Please remember to spell check your edits. I'm a good speller, but a horrible typist, and I often make mistakes that I have to find before saving my edits. In Firefox browser (which I use), every mis-spelled or unrecognized word has a a red line under it. Sure, many of the words are proper names, but it's a good way to locate typing and spelling errors. Example: Headquatered. Truthanado 03:41, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Rick Cua, I'm thoroughly baffled why it remains in that category.--Fuhghettaboutit 16:45, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I figured it out by reading more carefully. The template notes: "if you do not fill the Type field with one of the predefined keywords (or if you make a typo), the article will be automatically added to Category:Non-standard discography infoboxes so as to be able to track and fix errors." In the type fields you had listed "Studio". The quotation marks and uppercase esses were the culprit.--Fuhghettaboutit 17:59, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Glasshouse Records

Article Wizard

.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
