famine

edit

I couldn't find any verification of the great Canadian wheat famine of 1734, so I removed reference to it in the article. I don't think the alleged famine has much relevancy to the school, anyway. There is no mention of the famine in 1734 in Canada. --Jacknstock 04:51, 3 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Picture

edit

I just took a photograph of the front of the school & uploaded it.—Preceding unsigned comment added by MaryWoodward (talkcontribs)

Thanks for the picture. Please take a moment to go to the image's page and update copyright information, it has been listed for speedy deletion. Since you are the creator/owner of the image you can change the permissions you gave to allow the image to be used more freely. --Ahc 15:17, 25 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks - I went to that image's page but couldn't find out how to change the copyright information. When orginally posting this photo, I found the copyright choices very confusing. If I took the photo & want to have it appear on this page, what do I do? Thanks for your help! MaryWoodward 18:53, 1 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'll help as I can, one of the places that Wikipedia (for generally good reasons) has gotten a little overwhelming is in image uploads. Since the image has been deleted you'll need to re-upload the picture, which means you don't need to figure out how to fix the existing image. As the image creator you have 4 choices for copyright permissions you want to give. I would personally suggest you either use: GNU Free Documentation License (with the tag {{GFDL-self}}), or Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (with the tag: {{cc-by-sa-2.5|Attribution details}}). With either of these someone could use them for profit without further permission from you, but they will not be able to claim them as their own (they will have to give you credit for creating them), the ShareAlike attribute of the Creative Commons means they will have to freely share anything image they create with your image. In generally people like it if you upload images that you create to the Wikimedia Commons. To do that is very similar to uploading to Wikipedia itself, but you will need login to that project (basically each of WikiMedia's projects require their own logins). Once you've done that, if you can't figure out how to post the image, put a link here, and one of the rest of use will get take care of it for you.
One more thing, when you upload, try to use a name that includes the name of the school. There are lots of schools, so Smallschool_front is likely to conflict with someone else sometime. It's not a rule, so much as a polite thing to do. --Ahc 14:29, 2 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the advice - the photo is back up and hopefully done proparly this time.

I also just edited the content, after getting advice from the communications director at WFS. We took out the specifics about sports championships as that is quickly outdated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MaryWoodward (talkcontribs) 19:14, 6 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Clubs

edit

I just added the Clubs section to this page because many other schools have such a list and it was lacking here. this is a complete list from the Friends' official website. It would be nice to have descriptions of all of them, if possible.MaddieKM (talk) 15:25, 28 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Religion?

edit

First of all, Quakerism isn't truly a religion by that name, but I am unsure what else to call it. Also needed is more information on Middle/Lower School Meeting for Worship and the other kinds of Meeting for Worship. MaddieKM (talk) 15:35, 28 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
