[[Galena High School (Kansas)]]

Please don't remove "red" wikilinks that link to uncreated Kansas school district articles. One of the benefits of keeping these red links for kansas school districts is it stops stupid bots and editor tools from automatically converting "USD 499" into "USD $499" currency. The wikilink brackets stop this stupid automated change. Over time, I have been creating new school district articles, so eventually these links will point to an article. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 15:35, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

:Wait... You call those bots stupid? Sparkbean (talk) 17:56, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

::If a bot or tool automatically converts a school district into currency, then it sure the heck isn't smart, LOL. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 22:40, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Minor edits

File:Information.svg Hi Sparkbean! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at :Espresso (song) that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. 84.217.39.2 (talk) 12:54, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

:Seems like a problem, but a lot of my large edits were minor, so I had to agree with this. Sparkbean (talk) 16:33, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Long Reach High School logo.png

File:Ambox warning blue.svg Thanks for uploading :File:Long Reach High School logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:35, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

File:Information.svg Hello, I'm SNUGGUMS. I noticed that you recently made an edit in which your edit summary did not appear to describe the change you made. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 02:17, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

:My edit summary was even more misleading by the fact that I actually accidentally removed her name by mistake. Sparkbean (talk) 02:25, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Guilford Park High School.webp

File:Ambox warning pn.svg

Thanks for uploading :File:Guilford Park High School.webp. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Tlx|Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target=Sparkbean&namespace=6}} this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 03:02, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
