Oh really? Where in Hialeah do you live? I've lived in the Hialeah-Miami Springs-Miami Lakes area my whole life. I lived on 49th street for seven years! Where do you live by? Did/Do you go to MSSH or Hialeah High, HML, Goleman?
Ah yeah, Milam... It's like 4 blocks from Dupuis/Palm Springs... the schools I went to. It's ok if you're not in H.S. yet, I don't think many middle schoolers edit at this site though. BTw... sign your name after you leave messages so people know its you (or they'll ignore you). There's many ways to do this... you can add
""~~~~"" after your message or {{user|Digitall565}}, or you can do it the hard way like this [[User:Digitall565|Digitall565]] I prefer the ~ way. PRueda29 03:49, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
If you wanna make a page for Milam, first go to Miami-Dade County Public Schools (I created and moderate this page, btw), go to K-8 Centers, and click on Milam. Then go back to the M-DCPS page in a new browser, click on High Schools, pick a high school that has an article, and then use that as a guide (so you know what to do). School articles have guidelines for formatting, so copying the format from the high school articles is best. I get all my information for the M-DCPS articles from dadeschools.net. Just go there, click on schools, then school information and thenon elementary schools. Click on Milam and it'll give u info such as enrollment, capacity, mascot, colors, founding, and the homepage... on the homepage, u can find even more info. To upload a picture, go to Upload file and upload it there. Then you have to tag it with the correct copyright tag, so make sure the pic isn't taken without permission (usually, if you take it from M-DCPS or the Milam site, it should be fine). I think that's everything. If you need help, ask for it... users won't bite your head off and it's better than being listed under clueless newbies. PRueda29 04:19, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
Ok, go ahead and remove that behavioral remark, or actually, i'll remove it. PRueda29 04:25, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
Actually, Everglades K-8 is dedicated to only gifted kids, it's like a magnet school but for elementary and middle schoolers. Go ahead and delete the tags though, I didn't wanna add them but my friend convinced me to. Also, the magnet school list is a list of school that are magnet only, meaning they don't take kids from the surrounding area. If they take in kids from their surrounding areas, then they go under the regular categories. PRueda29
Ok, thanks. Use Wikiproject schools for guidelines on how to make school articles. I need to go to bed, I have work tomorrow. PRueda29 04:42, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Warning
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Whatever one's opinion on the situation in Iran at the moment, Wikipedia aims to be a factual encyclopedia, and your edits clearly and intentionally invert the facts about the situation in Iran at the moment across several articles. Please do not continue. Atropos (talk) 07:37, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
Let me be clear
I agree completely with the sentiment that Ahmedinejad's claimed election is illegitimate, fraudulent, and anti-democratic. I am entirely in support of protests against the Iranian government and hope that they will succeed in all of their stated objectives. We almost certainly agree in this matter.
However, you cannot simply make things up. How is simply inverting the vote tallies at all based on some source, reliable or otherwise? How is claiming that Mousavi is the president when he is clearly not acting as president, factual? How is claiming the reverse of Ahmedinejad the same? The entire controversy stems from the claims presented by the Iranian government which you hope to obscure through inaccurate information - what you are doing is in fact detrimental the cause you proclaim.
Though I have not been involved in the editing of the article on the Iranian elections (or any other really in well over a year), I have no doubt there is an invigorating conversation on the talk page about whether or not the election results and Ahmedinejad's win should be presented as legitimate in the talk page of the relevant articles. While I do not personally have the time or mind to participate in those conversations, you are certainly welcome to. But editing the article to say things which are not true helps no one. Again, please refrain from doing so. Atropos (talk) 07:57, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- Agreed, and see also my reply to your post on Atropos's talk page. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 07:59, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Page protection
Hi Digital, thanks for helping out with those articles, sometimes political biographies can get a bit hairy. To answer your question, usually requests for page protection are made at WP:RFPP, where an admin will decide whether or not to protect a page based on a number of factors. In your case, the two articles would not be protected since while they may be targeted by vandals given that elections are around the corner, we very rarely protect articles preemptively. It seems both those pages received quite a bit of negative attention on October 25, but it was from a single user who was blocked (usually we prefer restricting one person's editing privileges instead of everyone's). If things do worsen (5+ vandalism instances from multiple users per day, roughly), then the page will likely be protected, but until that point we have a fairly dedicated group of individuals who patrol for vandalism. Hope that alleviates your concern, but please do let me know if you have further questions. · Andonic contact 05:05, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
