Trifluoromethylphenylpiperazine

3-Trifluoromethylphenylpiperazine (TFMPP) is a recreational drug of the phenylpiperazine chemical class and is a substituted piperazine. Usually in combination with benzylpiperazine (BZP) and other analogues, it is sold as an alternative to the illicit drug MDMA ("Ecstasy").

Pharmacology
TFMPP has affinity for the 5-HT1A (Ki = 288 nM), 5-HT1B (Ki = 132 nM), 5-HT1D (Ki = 282 nM), 5-HT2A (Ki = 269 nM), and 5-HT2C (Ki = 62 nM) receptors, and functions as a full agonist at all sites except the 5-HT2A receptor, where it acts as a weak partial agonist or antagonist. Unlike the related piperazine compound meta-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP), TFMPP has insignificant affinity for the 5-HT3 receptor (IC50 = 2,373 nM). TFMPP also binds to the SERT (EC50 = 121 nM) and evokes the release of serotonin. It has no effects on dopamine or norepinephrine reuptake or efflux.

Use and effects
TFMPP is rarely used by itself. In fact, TFMPP reduces locomotor activity and produces aversive effects in animals rather than self-administration, which may explain the decision of the DEA not to permanently make TFMPP a controlled substance. More commonly, TFMPP is co-administered with BZP, which acts as a norepinephrine and dopamine releasing agent. Due to the serotonin agonist effects and increase in serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine levels produced by the BZP/TFMPP combination, this mixture of drugs produces effects which crudely mimic those of MDMA.

Side effects
The combination of BZP and TFMPP has been associated with a range of side effects, including insomnia, anxiety, nausea and vomiting, headaches and muscle aches which may resemble migraine, seizures, impotence, and rarely psychosis, as well as a prolonged and unpleasant hangover effect. These side effects tend to be significantly worsened when the BZP/TFMPP mix is consumed alongside alcohol, especially the headache, nausea, and hangover.

However, it is difficult to say how many of these side effects are produced by TFMPP itself, as it has rarely been marketed without BZP also being present, and all of the side effects mentioned are also produced by BZP (which has been sold as a single drug). Studies into other related piperazine drugs such as mCPP suggest that certain side effects such as anxiety, headache and nausea are common to all drugs of this class, and pills containing TFMPP are reported by users to produce comparatively more severe hangover effects than those containing only BZP. The drug can also cause the body to tremble for a long period of time.

Canada
Since 2012, TFMPP has been listed as a Schedule III controlled substance in Canada, making possession of TFMPP a federal offence. It has also been added to Part J of the Food and Drug Regulations thereby prohibiting the production, export or import of the substance.

China
As of October 2015 TFMPP is a controlled substance in China.

Finland
Scheduled in government decree on psychoactive substances banned from the consumer market.

Denmark
As of December 3, 2005, TFMPP is illegal in Denmark.

Japan
Since 2003, TFMPP and BZP became illegal in Japan.

Netherlands
TFMPP is unscheduled in the Netherlands.

New Zealand
Based on the recommendation of the EACD, the New Zealand government has passed legislation which placed BZP, along with the other piperazine derivatives TFMPP, mCPP, pFPP, MeOPP and MBZP, into Class C of the New Zealand Misuse of Drugs Act 1975. A ban was intended to come into effect in New Zealand on December 18, 2007, but the law change did not go through until the following year, and the sale of BZP and the other listed piperazines became illegal in New Zealand as of 1 April 2008. An amnesty for possession and usage of these drugs remained until October 2008, at which point they became completely illegal.

Sweden
As of March 1, 2006, TFMPP is scheduled as a "dangerous substance" in Sweden.

Switzerland
As of December 1, 2010, TFMPP is a controlled substance in Switzerland.

United Kingdom
As of December 2009, TFMPP has been made a Class C drug in the United Kingdom along with BZP.

United States
TFMPP is not currently scheduled at the federal level in the United States, but it was briefly emergency scheduled in Schedule I. The scheduling expired in April 2004 and was not renewed. However, some states such as Florida have banned the drug in their criminal statutes making its possession a felony.

Florida
TFMPP is a Schedule I controlled substance in the state of Florida making it illegal to buy, sell, or possess in Florida.

Texas
TFMPP is controlled in Texas under Penalty Group 2, as a hallucinogenic substance. It is illegal to possess TFMPP in any quantity in Texas.

York College of Pennsylvania

York College of Pennsylvania is a private college in Spring Garden Township, Pennsylvania. It offers more than 70 baccalaureate majors in professional programs, the sciences, and humanities to 3,500 full-time undergraduate students. It also offers master's programs in business, public policy, education, and nursing, along with a doctoral program in nursing practice to over 400 postgraduate students.

History
York College of Pennsylvania traces its institutional lineage to the York County Academy, a school opened in the 1770s in downtown York, Pennsylvania that was connected to St. John's Episcopal Church, which was led by Rev. John Andrews, D.D. In 1787, the school received its charter from the General Assembly of Pennsylvania and was incorporated as the York County Academy. The academy held a close connection with St. John's Church in York from that time until 1799. Thaddeus Stevens taught at the academy in 1815–1816, prior to establishing his law practice and serving as a U.S. congressman.

York College also traces its roots to a second institution, the York Collegiate Institute (YCI), which was founded around 1872. The building that housed the institute, located on the corner of College Avenue and Duke Street, was destroyed by fire in December 1885. A new four-story building designed by architects John A. Dempwolf and Reinhardt Dempwolf was completed at the same location in late 1886. The building was demolished in 1969 after being sold.

In 1929, the York County Academy and YCI entered into a teaching agreement, then in 1941 merged to become York Junior College. Under its new charter, the combined institution shifted its focus from elementary and secondary education to post-secondary education. At this point, the school began to outgrow its campus, forcing a move outside of downtown York. In 1965, the current campus, located in Spring Garden Township, was dedicated. The former occupier of these lands was the Outdoor Country Club and golf course, which moved north of the city after selling its property. The campus is located about 100 mile west of Philadelphia and 52 mile north of Baltimore. By 1968, York College established an accredited four-year bachelor's degree program, and officially became York College of Pennsylvania.

In 1975, York College absorbed York Country Day School (YCDS), thereby expanding its mission to again encompass K-12 education. YCDS was founded in 1953 by former YCI faculty after YCI phased out the elementary and secondary programs. Today the college sits near the historic center of York City, with some of its residence halls located in the city, which is known as the first national capital of the United States of America and the birthplace of Articles of Confederation.

The paper mill that was purchased recently is slated to be turned into a knowledge park.

Campus
York College is currently located on three adjacent campuses with the majority of its academic buildings on the Main Campus, a few on its more recently built West Campus and several facilities on its North Campus. Despite the college's extensive history, all the buildings on campus are less than 50 years of age, with the majority being built during the 1960s. The buildings utilize a standard red brickwork style, enhanced with white marble on some buildings. Some buildings on campus were financed with the college's cash savings in order to avoid debt as part of an overall focus on maintaining low tuition rates.

Main campus
The focal point of York College's 190-acre park-like campus is the mall, a grassy quad around which many of the college's academic buildings are located. The Evelyn and Earle Wolf Hall is the center for artistic activity on campus. It includes three art studios, a photography facility, rehearsal and practice rooms, a multi-track recording studio and mixing control room, a music library, editing suites, studios, two video production facilities coordinated by a computer-assisted control room, and DeMeester Recital Hall, a venue that hosts various speakers as well as performances by many of the college's musical ensembles. Also located in Wolf Hall are the York College Galleries. Comprising two adjacent galleries, the Cora Miller Gallery and the Brossman Gallery, this exhibition space serves the college, the City of York, and the communities of southcentral Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. The Galleries feature a varied program of nationally touring exhibitions and invitational shows, as well as faculty and juried student shows, artist and curator lectures, workshops, book signings, and other events. Located adjacent to Wolf is Campbell Hall, home to the Student Success Division, which includes the Academic Advising Center, Academic Support Center, Career Development Center, Community Scholarship Program, Student Accessibility Services, Study Abroad Center, Undeclared Student Advising, and the Writing Center. Campbell also includes chemistry instrumentation to support majors in Chemistry, Forensic Chemistry and Pre-Med. Next to Campbell is the Appell Life Sciences Building, which features modern laboratory spaces, multiple specialty spaces (tissue culture suite, microscopy lab, walk-in cold room), research and preparation spaces, and student and faculty conference rooms for the departments of Biological Sciences, Behavioral Sciences and Education. Connected to Appell is the Willman Business Center, which opened in 2013 and is home to the Graham School of Business. Willman features the Weinstock Lecture Hall, a 150-seat tiered auditorium, the NASDAQ Trading Laboratory which provides students with direct access to real-time financial data from stock and commodities exchanges, and Yorkview Hall, a glass-enclosed corporate training center that offers fantastic views atop the center.

The Naylor Ecological Sciences Center, located behind Appell, is a three-story structure topped by five greenhouses that provide teaching and research labs for ecological studies on plants and animals (Aquatic and Terrestrial Labs), a large aquarium space for students doing research with fish and invertebrates, a controlled growth chamber and research spaces.

Schmidt Library, located to the right of Willman on the mall, houses print and online collections, as well as the college's Archives. Schmidt Library loans out wireless laptops for use in the building, digital cameras, camcorders, and media projection materials. The building also provides quiet study floors, technology-enhanced group study rooms, comfortable lounge areas, and wireless network connections including the outdoor courtyard. The Library underwent extensive interior renovations in 2004, adding 17 group study areas along with infrastructure and equipment to facilitate an increased focus on digital media.

The Waldner Performing Arts Center (WPAC) and Humanities Center occupy the space between the Schmidt Library and the Iosue Student Union. The Waldner Performing Arts Center, which opened in fall 2008, features the 705-seat York Collegiate Theatre and the 125-seat Perko Playpen Theatre, an experimental black box-type theatre. The York College Players, who perform on both stages, enjoy a scene shop, green room and costume shop. The York Collegiate Theatre hosts musical performances, nationally recognized speakers and other special events.

The Humanities Center, home to the Department of History and Political Science and the Department of English and Humanities, features an oral history lab and museum studies room, film study labs and a film screening room, computer labs, and the Pura Vida Café. The World Languages Media Center allows students to further study in languages, and the Center for Teaching and Learning offers academic support (like tutoring and writing assistance) to students.

Between the Humanities and the Iosue Student Union sits The Rock or Old Spart. After commencement, the graduating class writes their names and messages in white on a large rock painted Spartan Green.

At the center of student life is the Robert V. Iosue Student Union. Johnson Dining Hall, located on the first floor, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and Spart's Den, in the lower level, offers a grab-and-go option, as well as a venue for entertainment such as comedy and music. The Student Activities and Orientation Office plans events for students, and also provide a number of leadership opportunities to more than 100 student clubs and organizations. The bookstore is a shop for student essentials. WVYC, the college radio station that broadcasts more than 100 hours each week, is located in the Student Union, as is the Admissions Welcome Center, where counselors offer information sessions and campus tours twice a day.

The Student Union also houses provides space for the nearly 100 student organizations at York College, and the Office of Residence Life occupies the second floor of the Student Union.

Adjacent to the Student Union is the Miller Administration Building. Bearing the name of the college's first president, the building includes the President's Office, the Office of Admissions, Academic Affairs, Business Affairs, Campus Operations, Financial Aid Office, and Registrar. The Main campus is also home to many of York's 900 freshman students, who may reside in either one of the residence halls in the Penn/Beard Complex or the Manor Complex. Each complex houses about 500 students in 11 (six in Penn/Beard, five in Manor) traditional-style residence halls. Upperclassman residence halls on the main campus include Susquehanna Hall and the Tyler Run Complex, which house students in apartment-style suites, each accommodating two to four students. Students may also live in one of three communal living houses on main campus: Springettsbury Hall, Pershing House, and Springdale House.

The two oldest buildings on campus are the Brougher Chapel and the President's Home. In addition to the main worship area, Brougher contains space for religious activities, meditation, counseling and special events. As the center of faith at York, Brougher facilitates the services of a Catholic priest, Protestant minister, and Rabbi, all of whom are available to students for counseling, religious guidance, and support. There are four religious student organizations: Newman Club (Catholic Campus Ministry), Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, Christian Fellowship Organization, and Hillel.

The President's Home, a Williamsburg-style property adjacent to campus, is the setting for receptions for visiting artists, lecturers, and special guests.

The easternmost portion of campus features several athletic facilities: tennis courts, Spartan Softball Field, Jaquet Field (home to Spartan Baseball), the rugby field, and various intramural fields. Flowing through Main Campus is Tyler Run, a picturesque spring-fed brook lined with willows. It serves as the municipal boundary between York City and Spring Garden Township.

West Campus
At the center of West Campus sits the Grumbacher Sport and Fitness Center, a 160,000 sqft complex featuring the Charles Wolf Gymnasium, a 1,712-seat arena hosting varsity competition in men's and women's basketball, volleyball and wrestling; a ten-lane competitive pool with instructional areas and 1- and 3-meter diving boards; a three-court field house; locker room facilities; a climbing wall; a cafe; and a 7,600 sqft fitness area.

Diehl Hall houses York's Stabler Department of Nursing, as well as the hospitality management and sports management programs. It was expanded in 2012 to better accommodate the growing needs of all three programs. Grantley Hall has general-use classrooms and is home to the Division of Advancement (Alumni Relations, Development, and Communications).

The West Campus residential quad consists of Richland Hall, Spring Garden Apartments, Brockie Commons, Country Club Apartments and Little Run Lodge, the last of which is a suite style residence hall complex which includes a student center with a dining facility, central mailboxes, multipurpose space, TV lounges, and game room. The West Campus residential quad primarily houses upperclassmen in apartment style residences that typically have room for anywhere from two to five students.

North Campus
The Kinsley Engineering Center, which is 43000 sqft, features a large common project work space area to be used by the mechanical, electrical and computer engineering disciplines. The building also features gathering points for students to meet in small work groups or in social settings. The building was converted from a factory; it is LEED certified silver. It is named after the Kinsley Family Foundation. Northside Commons is a 171-unit, five-story residence located on the northern end of campus. Completed in 2011, the building houses 275 students in single and double bedrooms. The building houses a mix of freshmen and returning students, the commons also includes lounge and common areas for residents.

Kings Mill Depot, located across the train tracks from Northside Commons, houses the college's J.D. Brown Center for Entrepreneurship, a hub for innovation and entrepreneurial activity at York College. A key component of the J.D. Brown Center is the business incubator, which gives small businesses resources such as office space, and access to York College's intellectual resources.

Organization and administration
The current president of York College is Thomas D. Burns, who was selected as the fifth president and began serving as such on July 1, 2023. He previously served as a provost at Belmont. He succeeded Pamela Gunter-Smith, who retired June 30, 2023, after 10 years as president. Other York College presidents include Ray A. Miller, Ph.D., (1968–1975) and Robert V. Iosue, Ph.D., (1976–1991). Iosue drew national attention for his controversial criticisms of what he regarded as the run-away expense of higher education. At York College, he was noted for paying faculty well but expecting them to spend more time teaching than they might be required to elsewhere. He himself worked weekends and took no vacations for eight years.

The Student Senate is the executive and administrative agency for York College students and embodies a unique system of government. All students who pay the student activity fee are automatically members of the Student Association and any student may attend meetings or address the Association on matters that are of concern to the student body.

Academics
York College offers its more than 50 baccalaureate majors through five schools: Graham School of Business; School of Nursing and Health Professions; Kinsley School of Engineering, Sciences, and Technology; School of Behavioral Sciences and Education; and School of the Arts, Communication, and Global Studies. Graduate offerings are master's programs in business administration, education, and nursing, along with a doctorate in nursing practice. The college's faculty includes 154 full-time professors. It is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.

York College's focus is on preparing students for professional careers, while remaining an affordable private college. The college reports a 90% career placement rate.

As a cost-saving measure, York College requires its full-time professors to teach four courses per semester, compared to the norm of two or three at most U.S. colleges and universities.

Rankings
The college is ranked by U.S. News & World Report as 78th (tie) in its Regional Universities of the North category as of 2018 and is named a Best Northeastern College by The Princeton Review. The college is also included in Barron's Best Buys in College Education and is ranked by Parents and Colleges as eighth on its list of Top 10 Best Value Private Colleges and Universities. The college was listed among 100 "Colleges Worth Considering" nationwide by The Washington Post.

Student life
On-campus entertainment events are produced by the Campus Activities Board, a committee of the Student Senate.

York College is the host campus for WVYC, The Spartan (the student-led newspaper), and YCP Rhapsody, an a cappella singing group, along with as many as 90 other clubs and organizations. The college has two engineering-related student groups: The YCP Collegiate Engineering Society and YCP Women in Science and Engineering.

Social organizations
Fraternities and sororities involve around 15% of York College students. The following organizations are represented.

Fraternities:
 * Zeta Beta Tau (ΖΒΤ)
 * Kappa Delta Rho (ΚΔΡ) - Gamma Gamma Chapter
 * Kappa Delta Phi (ΚΔΦ)
 * Tau Kappa Epsilon (ΤΚΕ)
 * Phi Kappa Psi (ΦΚΨ) - Pennsylvania Rho Chapter
 * Phi Sigma Phi (ΦΣΦ)

Sororities:
 * Alpha Sigma Tau (ΑΣΤ) (Suspended for varied issues, Fall 2017)
 * Delta Phi Epsilon (ΔΦΕ)
 * Delta Sigma Theta (ΔΣΘ)
 * Theta Phi Alpha (ΘΦΑ) (Suspended for hazing March 20, 2015)
 * Sigma Gamma Rho (ΣΓΡ)
 * Sigma Delta Tau (ΣΔΤ)
 * Phi Mu (ΦΜ)
 * Phi Sigma Sigma (ΦΣΣ)
 * Chi Upsilon Sigma(ΧΥΣ)

York College also hosts the Alpha Zeta Chapter of the Phi Sigma Pi (ΦΣΠ) National Honor Fraternity as well as the Professional Chemistry Fraternity Alpha Chi Sigma (ΑΧΣ).

Athletics
The Athletics and Recreation department provides opportunities for students to participate in recreation, athletics and wellness activities. The department is housed in the 170,000 sqft Grumbacher Sport and Fitness Center, which features a three-court field house with elevated indoor jogging track, a gymnasium that seats 1,700 spectators, a natatorium with 12 swimming lanes, a 7,600 sqft fitness center, a 32 foot climbing wall, a racquetball court, multiple purpose rooms and a wrestling room. York College offers 22 varsity sports that compete in the Middle Atlantic Conferences. The Spartans have 10 men's and 11 women's programs and compete in NCAA Division III. Men's programs include baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming, tennis, track and field, and wrestling. Women's programs include basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track and field, and volleyball.

York College does not have a football team, though the sport's absence is a popular topic for speculation. One such tale holds that the game was banned by a former board member of the college after his son suffered a fatal concussion during a football game. While the institution was operating as York Collegiate Institute, there was an active football team. The college bookstore does sell York College Football t-shirts, with the phrase "Undefeated since 1787" printed on the back. These are one of the more popular clothing items sold by the York College Bookstore. Though it is true that no school named York College of Pennsylvania has been defeated in Football, since the 'tongue-in-cheek' quip references "since 1787" the statement may not be one hundred percent truthful as the school did lose a football game in 1893 (when York Collegiate Institute football team lost a game as reported in The Philadelphia Inquirer.  However, the game played that day in 1893 did not allow forward passes nor did the center snap the ball back to a quarterback (as those rules were not adopted until 1905 when John Heisman introduced the rules). Hence, it may be reasonably argued that the game was a form of rugby football and not American Football to which the phrase was clearly intended such that a York College T-shirt with the phrase "Undefeated since 1787"  is true as York College has never lost an American football game.

Thompson (electoral district)

Thompson is a provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It was created by redistribution in 1968 from parts of Churchill and Rupertsland (now Keewatinook), and has formally existed since the provincial election of 1969.

Thompson is in northern Manitoba. It is bordered by Keewatinook to the east and Flin Flon to the west. The city of Thompson, which was incorporated shortly before the riding's creation, is its only major urban centre. Almost half of the riding's residents live in that community.

The riding's population in 1996 was 19,349. In 1999, the average family income was $56,402, and the unemployment rate was 12.60%. The riding's economic character is primarily working-class, with 17% of its economy coming from the mining sector.

Forty-two per cent of the riding's residents are aboriginal, the third highest rate in the province.

Thompson is usually considered safe for the New Democratic Party, which represented the riding almost continually since its creation. The current MLA is New Democrat Eric Redhead, who was elected in the provincial by-election on June 7, 2022. His predecessor Danielle Adams was previously elected in the 2019 Manitoba general election on September 10, 2019, and served until her death on December 9, 2021.

I have added a "" template to the article Team_Doyobi, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.--Parker007 19:29, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, as part of the New pages patrol, I've come across the above page today. I just thought I'd drop you a line to point out that it could use a little TLC. I've marked it as patrolled and I'm not intending to propose its deletion, but it could really do with a little expansion and structure to provide a little context so that when some ejit like me, who knows nothing about it, they can understand what the article is about! Also, you've cited an external link, but it could do with a few more and with those being put into footnotes! Anything I can do to help, drop me a line here.

User talk:Vacuum/Netoholic RfC

On Rhobite's alternative view, as I substantially agree with it I'd like to work on merging it with mine by discussion. Could we agree that Netoholic's behavior is annoying and not best practice? --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 06:57, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I believe there should be multiple outside opinions encouraged on RFC pages, but merging opinions is a good idea if we agree. I'm not sure that's the case here, I don't believe Netoholic did anything to warrant an RFC. We can lecture him about good manners, but if he doesn't listen to it on his talk page what's the point of doing it here? Rhobite 14:17, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)

Well, a RfC is nothing special, it's just an opportunity for a number of people, who have tried to resolve a problem but haven't gotten very far through other means, to put the problem to the wider community and make some comments in a manner that would likely get some kind of resolution. Netoholic has at least read the complaints and responded to them--which I suspect is more than happened before the RfC was raised. Though it's difficult for me to verify this precisely because of Netoholic's problematic habit of wiping without archiving.

If what you mean was that Netoholic's behavior doesn't merit anything more drastic than a public airing of grievances, well I agree. He hasn't broken policy, except perhaps by being a little brusque or dismissive, and even there he has obviously done so because he thinks he is being trolled rather than because he has not developed the ability to cooperate.

I think this RfC is useful because it does allow Netoholic to see just how much his behavior annoys people who, really, don't wish him any ill, but get ticked off at the abrupt and unexplained disappearance of stuff from his talk page. --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 15:19, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I also hope this RfC will be useful. There are other related issues to Netoholic's behvaior, though I perhaps agree deleting user talk page discussions is not against policy, strictly interpreted.  First, Netoholic's edit summaries stated he was "archiving" comments when really he was deleting them, so his edit summaries were made in bad faith at least.  He only switched his comments to "archived to page history" after I and perhaps Ta ba shi da yu noticed his deletion actions.  Secondly, Netoholic never seems interested in debating anything, he believes as he does and acts accordingly, he seems to be oblivious to the fact wikipedia is a community.  Is there a stats page that lists the number of talk page edits, project page edits (by type of project page), and main article edits for a particular user?  I wonder what Netoholic's stats would look like there.  Thirdly, as has been flagged before in arbitration and previous RfC's, deleting his user talk discussions is just one aspect of Netoholic's behavior that is best described as "annoying" and "inflammatory".  From what I have experienced, without him ever actually debating anything on talk pages he has listed articles he disagrees with on VfD, plus listed templates, images, sub pages of those same articles for deleting (just to damage the quality of the article), not to mention deleting/"moving" VfD comments, votes, and talk page discussions.  Basically every available option and tactic that can be used "against" an article he has used.  Fourthly, he must have assumed I was a "newbie" on IRC when I first met him as he tried to convince me he had guessed my wikipedia password and he said he would "bury" me if I disagreed with him about an article (I didn't take him seriously at all then, and I have the IRC chat logs if need be).  All these actions are certainly violations of at least the spirit of wikipedia policy in my opinion, though they may have already been dealt with. And I must admit he has seemingly been quiet or even improved starting as of a few weeks ago, as far as the articles I've been following editing wise is concerned.  However, there really needs to be a place on wikipedia for the (objective) "history" of user, like we do for anonymous IPs, which lists troublemaking behavior from that user, so new users, or user's new to such tactics, will 1) not be surprised, and 2) know what is right and wrong about those tactics wikipedia policy wise, and 3) know the best way(s) of going about dealing with them.  The more people that are aware of history, the better. zen master 18:56, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I see how many of these issues you bring up would be cause for a serious RFC (misattribution of edits, threatening on IRC, etc.). I myself have butted heads with this user in the past.  However, I only feel entitled to comment on the behaviors enumerated in this particular RFC.  I think that any discussion of edits not related to the specific transgressions mentioned in the evidence section would not be productive here.  As it stands, the actual evidence cited in this particular RFC seems merely bad wiki-etiquette (sp?), I don't think that any major action needs to be taken on this particular one.  --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 19:09, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)

 * I believe that the purpose of RfC is simply to gather community feedback on the behaviour of a particular user and to gather consensus on whether the behaviour is Good, Bad, or Bannable. Netoholic would probabably fall in the second category. RfC is not just a filtering process for Requests for arbitration. RfC is for discussion. Vacuum c 02:05, Dec 17, 2004 (UTC)

Advice for Netoholic
Whether you mean to or not, I feel that your treatment of your talk page is annoying. It isn't private space, any more than this page is. I agree that the other users were in the wrong when they engaged in revert warring; however prior to that you didn't attempt to engage with them. I gather you believed they were trolling or otherwise attempting to harass you, and I accept that explanation. However, I strongly advise that you investigate my own talk page and its archives to see how it is possible to maintain an accessible, useful record of your dialogs with other editors. Harassment attempts would also be recorded. I archived about nine days worth of talk this morning (here) and from examining the page histories it's possible to calculate that it took me less tha two minutes including updating the archive navbar. The advantage is that both I and anybody else can instantly inspect a full record of past dialogs; user history is transparent and trust is enhanced. --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 11:06, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Apology
I apologize for any misunderstandings caused by my initial post on your talk page. I want you to know that I do not wish any ill of you, and that I sincerely wish for a compromise suitable for all. I apologize for reverting your talk page, for I had no legitimate reason for doing so. I realize that you are not violating Wikipedia policy, and you have every right to archive your pages in the fashion in which you are now doing. All I ask is that you consider the advice of the Wikipedia community when making your decision. Vacuum c 03:32, Dec 15, 2004 (UTC)

Keep this RFC
I'm thinking we can keep this RFC and refer people to it if someone else engaged in the same practices that Netoholic does. Firstly, I wish to make a few things clear: all talk comments are licensed under the GFDL, so the can be copied, used, whatever. It also means that Netoholic can remove talk from his page. What I would like to make clear is that anonymous users should not be allowed to remove talk from their IP address talk pages. We need this to keep a track of warnings, etc. I've already had to warn an anonymous user to stop clearing his talk page because of the potential for them to wipe a certain Oxford University president's details. To the extent that I've placed that page on my watchlist. My $0.02. - Ta bu shi da yu 06:29, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * No, I want this RFC deleted, since certification is invalid and Vacuum said "I realize that you are not violating Wikipedia policy, and you have every right to archive your pages in the fashion in which you are now doing".  If there needs to be a broader talk about this subject, take it to Wikipedia talk:User page. -- Netoholic @ 03:15, 2004 Dec 16 (UTC)

 * Then I think that's fair. I'll support you on this. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:16, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I have recently communicated with Zen. I request a short delay for him to reply before this is deleted. Vacuum c 03:27, Dec 17, 2004 (UTC)

 * If the consensus is for deletion, would you be OK with me putting an anonymized version on WP:UP? Vacuum c 02:09, Dec 17, 2004 (UTC)

WP:RFC disagrees. It says "This section is for discussing specific users who have allegedly violated Wikipedia policies and guidelines." You have broken a guideline, not a policy. Vacuum c 03:32, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)

I have not "broken a guideline" since the guideline is worded as a suggested action, not a firm direction. Also - "The persons complaining must provide evidence of their efforts, and each of them must certify it by signing this page". Zen-master has not done this. Simply signing is not enough - he must have added evidence. Since this was not done, the certification is invalid. -- Netoholic @ 03:41, 2004 Dec 16 (UTC)

Why would WP:RFC have that wording if it is impossible to violate the spirit of a guideline? For evidence, see Zen-master's comment above, and the snippet of page history on the main RfC page. There is a consensus on this page that it is a good-faith RfC, why waste time in silly semantic quibbling? Vacuum c 03:47, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)

 * Zen's comment is just a string of random complaints. The fact is that hs did not add evidence regarding this dispute within the 48 hour time-frame.  He has made two edits total to the RFC page - first to "certify" and then to comment (later moved here to Talk.  He has not met the obligation.   I respect everyone's input, but this RFC is just not valid. -- Netoholic @ 04:01, 2004 Dec 16 (UTC)

If this page is deleted, I shall request its undeletion. --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 03:46, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Regardless of whether or not this RFC is valid, it opens a useful channel of communication. Why close it? Vacuum c 04:22, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)

 * I don't object to the open discussion, but there is a very well established requirement for RFC certification, and subsequent deletion - it prevents frivolous RFCs. Why not take this up on a policy Talk page?  Why does it have to be in the context of my actions, which are clearly not violating any policy? -- Netoholic @ 04:29, 2004 Dec 16 (UTC)

It's clear by the size and number of comments that this is not frivolous. Once again, you are contravening the spirit of the guidelines, not policies. Vacuum c 04:31, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)

And, whether you like it or no, there are a fair number of people watching this discussion; its outcome may affect every user account. - Amgine 03:05, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * The RfC was signed in good faith by two users who were annoyed enough by Netoholic's behavior to want to do something about it. I'm a third party who just happened to leave on or two messages on his talk page,   and was surprised to see them wiped without acknowledgement (I'm not in the habit of making frivolous comments on user talk pages).  I think this is one of those borderline niggles that tend to raise WikiStress.  It's appropriate to get it out into the open when it occurs. --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 03:32, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Notes added after page was archived
Thank you for keeping this page archived. I've also experienced the disputed behavior by the disputed user, and I find this page useful. --Ben James Ben 03:08, 2005 Jan 7 (UTC)

 * As viewable in the archived history, my actions were disputed, but community consensus was such that I acted fully within policy and acceptable behavior. This is why this page exists only as an archive, and the original was deleted. -- Netoholic @ 03:23, 2005 Jan 7 (UTC)

 * Since this page belongs to another user, I believe that the decision to keep or remove this page belongs to them. If the page owner wants to keep a copy of this page in their personal subpages, I believe that they are allowed to do so.  If consensus was that the disputed behavior was acceptable, then it would be to everyone's benefit that this page remain available for viewing. --Ben James Ben 03:40, 2005 Jan 7 (UTC)

 * Uncertified RFCs are deleted because they tend to inflame, more than add value. This one in particular is being kept more for intimidation, than reference, in direct conflict with that stated procedure.  As such, it is important that it be made clear that the page is not a "live" one, but an archive. -- Netoholic @ 04:15, 2005 Jan 7 (UTC)

 * I disagree that keeping this copy of the RFC does not add value. However, I agree that the page might be better if it were clearly marked as an archive-only page.  Perhaps adding prominent text to the top of this page is warranted.  An example might be, "(Original Request For Comments page name) was closed on January 1 2004.  This is a private copy of that page, kept for archival purposes only.  Please do not add any more coments to this page.  If you have any questions or concerns, please add them to the (link to talk page)."

 * Of course, this is a personal user page, so the decision to edit the page is up to the owner. --Ben James Ben 01:26, 2005 Jan 10 (UTC)

High Technology High School

High Technology High School (HTHS), founded in 1991, is a four-year magnet public high school for students in ninth through twelfth grades, located in the Lincroft section of Middletown Township, in Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operated as a cooperative effort between the Monmouth County Vocational School District (MCVSD) and Brookdale Community College. It is a pre-engineering academy, offering courses such as Introduction to Engineering and Design, Exploring Engineering, and Principles of Engineering. It is a member of the National Consortium for Specialized Secondary Schools of Mathematics, Science and Technology. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 1995.

In its listing of "America's Best High Schools 2016", the school was ranked 20th out of 500 best high schools in the country; it was ranked seventh among all high schools in New Jersey. In its 2013 report on "America's Best High Schools", The Daily Beast ranked the school 16th in the nation among participating public high schools and first among schools in New Jersey. According to 2011 Newsweek statistics, High Technology High School students registered an average SAT score of 2145, the highest of any U.S. high school; overall, Newsweek ranked HTHS 18th nationally and the top high school in New Jersey. In 2011, HTHS was ranked Number 1 for Best High Schools for Math & Science in U.S. News & World Report, and in 2013, the school was ranked the twelfth best high school overall in the United States by U.S. News. In its 2015 rankings, Niche.com, Inc. ranked High Technology High School the best public high school in America.

As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 285 students and 21.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.3:1. There were 4 students (1.4% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 1 (0.4% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.

History
The school opened its doors in 1991 with a sophomore class of 62 students in facilities on the campus of Brookdale Community College, with plans to add a new grade each year to accommodate grades 10–12.

The school building on the Brookdale campus was completed in 1992 and an expansion two years later allowed the school to double enrollment. A freshman class was added in fall 1995. The student population is kept relatively small, with typically 65-80 students per class year, allowing the school to maintain a low student–teacher ratio.

Awards and recognition

 * In 2023, the school was one of nine schools in New Jersey that was recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School by the United States Department of Education.

 * Business Insider ranked High Technology High School at the top of its 2014 list of the "25 best public high school in the United States".
 * For the 2003–04 school year, High Technology High School received the National Blue Ribbon Award for the second time, the highest honor that an American school can achieve.
 * High Technology High School was twice named a "Star School" by the New Jersey Department of Education, the highest form of recognition for a New Jersey school, in both 1994-95 and 2001–02.
 * High Technology High School was recognized by Newsweek magazine in its May 28, 2007 issue covering America's Best High Schools, as one of its 21 Public Elites, a group of consistent high performers excluded from its rankings because of the number of students with SAT (or ACT) scores well above the national average.
 * HTHS was cited as a "Public Elite", one of 22 such schools recognized nationwide in Newsweek magazine's listing of "America's Best High Schools" in the May 8, 2006 issue. Newsweek described the school as "A pre-engineering academy with topnotch humanities"
 * HTHS was ranked as Number 2 in U.S. News & World Report's listing of "America's Best High Schools" in 2008.

Academics
High Technology offers a full high school education, with emphasis on math, science, and technology. Students take college courses during their junior and senior years, and seniors are required to take a mentorship course for one semester.

Class scheduling works around block scheduling. All classes are 67 minutes long, and there are 5 periods in a day. All students eat lunch at the same time, between 11:00 and 12:00 PM. Most classes are held three times a week. Physical Education is held two periods per week. AP science classes have "double labs" which are two periods (138 minutes) long, while AP Calculus classes meet one extra period per week. The foreign languages taught at High Technology High School are Latin, French, and Spanish. Junior and senior technology electives - Project Lead the Way courses (Digital Electronics, Civil Engineering and Architecture, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science & Software Engineering, and Engineering Design and Development) - are held three times a week for two periods (138 minutes).
