User talk:Singie

Please stop posting and reposting such tiny articles. They take a lot of time and effort to expand. Your contributions are appreciated, but your entries must be more detailed. Thanks. - Lucky 6.9 02:48, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Carl Singebricks
Please do not remove Speedy Delete notices; that is considered vandalism. If admins decide to keep your article, they will remove the notice. If this article is about yourself, please move it to your User page. Otherwise, in all likelihood, it will be deleted, since it doesn't meet Wikipedia's standards.

''That guys right you are a Wikipedia Nazi. I wrote an article about Carl Singebricks. You put up a speedy deletion thing at 22:01, 30 August 2005 because you said it was self-promotion and vanity. This is not true because I am not Carl Singebricks who was born in New York City. I live in Australia, NSW, Sydney, Concord West. Now I hope you are happy you have blocked me for 48 hours and have deleted everything on my article on Carl Singebricks. I would like to hear your response to this.'' ''Thankyou, Singie. 22:52, 2 September 2005 (UTC)'' You were blocked because you refused to follow Wikipedia policies, despite several warnings. Instead of discussing your article and the Speedy Delete notice with me (or any admin), you just went and removed the Speedy Delete notice. Then you started a revert war on Concord West. The reason your Carl Singebricks article was deleted was not because I thought it was about yourself, but because it met criterion A7 of the speedy deletion policy:
 * An article about a real person that does not assert that person's importance or significance.

Read my note again: I said "If this article is about yourself, please move it to your User page." Whether I'm a "Wikipedia Nazi" or not, you'll find that if you keep engaging in revert wars or arbitrarily removing tags placed by others, you'd keep getting blocked and eventually kicked out of this community. If you are willing to follow our (very reasonable!) guidelines and policies, and become a contributing member, we would all welcome you here. Owen× ☎  13:19, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Concordhospital.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Concordhospital.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL-self to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam ( T / C ) 16:49, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Advanced Warning
I would just like to acknowledge that this user happens to be my brother and though I try to explain to him the rules of Wikipedia, I feel that he will continue to edit in the same pattern as he currently does. If he does follow that pattern, I make this note now: If he does something deserving of a block, please only block the account, not the IP. I for one, would like to continue to contribute here. If such an occassion does occur, please let me know on my talk page, and I will ensure that he does not create another account to the best of my abilities. In any case I ask that it be recognised that this is a shared PC. Many thanks, Aegwyn 10:17, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to spam you if you aren't interested. See Meetup/Sydney for more info if you are interested. - Ta bu shi da yu 08:43, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Aerialf3.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Aerialf3.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 05:49, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

North Carolina Wesleyan University

North Carolina Wesleyan University (NCWU) is a private Methodist university in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. It was founded in 1956. North Carolina Wesleyan offers courses at its main Rocky Mount campus, as well as satellite locations in Brunswick, Durham, Goldsboro, Greenville, Manteo, New Bern, Raleigh, Washington, Wilmington and Winston-Salem.

History
On May 14, 1956, the North Carolina Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church met in Goldsboro and approved a petition from the citizens of the city of Rocky Mount to locate a college in their community. The college was officially chartered by the State of North Carolina on October 25, 1956. Capital investments totaling approximately $2 million made possible the construction of the main buildings on the 200-acre site donated by the M.C. Braswell heirs of Rocky Mount, and four years later 92 students enrolled in the first class at North Carolina Wesleyan College. In 1964, 33 students received their degrees at the college's first Commencement. Nearly 9,000 students have earned bachelor's degrees in the arts and sciences and selected professional disciplines since its founding.

In 2015, Wesleyan added its first two master's programs. Seven years later, the college changed its name to "university" in 2022.

Campus
The 200 acre Rocky Mount campus includes six residence halls, nine academic and administrative buildings, the Everett Gymnasium, The Dunn Center, and outdoor athletic facilities, including a soccer field, baseball field, tennis courts, Indoor Sports & Education Facility, artificial turf field, intramural fields, and softball field. There is also an on-campus Starbucks attached to the Pearsall Library. In addition to a residential campus, Wesleyan has developed a strong multi-campus Adult & Professional degree program with locations in Brunswick, Durham, Goldsboro, Greenville, Manteo, New Bern, Raleigh, Washington, Wilmington and Winston-Salem in addition to the main campus in Rocky Mount.

Academics
The university offers 33 undergraduate programs, 34 minor programs, four graduate degrees and four certificate programs. It is a member of the National Association of Schools and Colleges of The United Methodist Church.

The Roger G. and Gaile Davenport Taylor Honors Program
North Carolina Wesleyan University offers a select group of students the opportunity to complement their degree program with a series of challenging and rewarding courses. Freshmen take special courses in composition and humanities. Honors Program students then take one honors course each semester during their sophomore and junior years. As seniors, students complete an Honors Project in some area of interest. The Honors Program offers students the opportunity to develop a close community of learning and to take courses from some of the best faculty members at the university. Being in the Honors Program does not add to a student's course load, but it does add variety and depth to her or his higher education experience. Transcripts of Honors graduates include recognition that they completed the Honors Program.

Student life
As of fall 2023, 1,337 students were enrolled. Wesleyan has a growing international student population from 40+ countries. The university community includes people from diverse religious, cultural, and racial backgrounds. All students receive free parking on campus, admission to regular season athletic games, and access to the student health center. In addition, books are included in tuition and there is no application fee.

The Battling Bishops made it to the NCAA Division III Football tournament as the USA South champion, where they upset top-seed Washington & Jefferson in the first round 35–34.
