John Jay Scholars

I was recently admitted to Columbia as a John Jay Scholar. I might attend as I think it's a great school and I love New York; I'm still considering some other schools, though. LaszloWalrus 20:18, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, but I recently spent the night in a dorm. LaszloWalrus 01:31, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know the source of that statement. By the way, I've decided not to attend Columbia. LaszloWalrus 05:01, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to Stanford or Duke. It was a tough decision. I see you've decided to attend Columbia. LaszloWalrus 20:44, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's somewhat funny about your friend: I was rejected outright at Princeton (and waitlisted at Stanford). Admissions seem pretty arbitrary. LaszloWalrus 20:58, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Marijuana Wiki

Hi there,

I see that you are a pro-Cannabis Wikipedian so I hope this will be of some interest to you.

I've started a Marijuana wiki (aka The Sticky Wiki) which I think you might be interested in. I'm hoping you can help me get started with this project. Whereas lots of articles about weed get speedy-deleted on Wikipedia, they would be totally cool over at MarijuanaWiki. But really I want the site to be more of a marijuana community than merely an encyclopedia.

To give you an example, I want to have city guides about where to score, find pot-friendly cafes, marijuana events, and what represents a good price in that city. Etc. (You can check out the featured article: "Toronto" to see what I mean). Of course, I want to see articles about the negative health effects and the drug laws in each of the countries. I also want to have grow diaries and marijuana blogs. All in all, basically more communal than encyclopedic.

I am in need of admins/moderators, and people experienced with MediaWiki to help build policy, categories, and templates, etc. If you'd be interested in helping me with this project, the URL is MarijuanaWiki

Thanks for your time and consideration. Hope to see you there!

Changing a page name

Hi, yes, its not obvious until you know. At the top of every page is a tab called "move" (between "history" and "watch"). Click on that and it allows you to move the page to another name (i.e. rename). There is a technical reason for calling it Move instead of Rename, but most users don't realize that's what it for until someone tells them. It took me a long time to find it too. Hope that helps. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask me. All the best, Gw e rnol 02:50, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've updated the Jim Yardley article to the standard manual of style way of referencing external pages. Hit the Edit tab to see how its done. The contents box is automatically generated once your article has more than three headings in it (headings are created by surrounding a line with == (jheading leve 1), === (heading level 2) etc.) There is also a way to force a contents box for articls with fewer than 4 section headings, but I don't recall how to do that right now. Best, Gw e rnol 03:10, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Columbia University

Greetings, fellow Columbian. I just created a WikiProject dedicated to Columbia University, the schools, environs, and the notable people who notably affiliated with it. If you want to be part of it, please check out WP:Columbia. It is very barebones right now, but with your help we can expand it and make it fully functional. If you have any questions please drop my a line on my talk page. --Valley2city^₪‽ 08:05, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
