[edit] Teachers
Hi, Fallen Angel, and welcome to Wikipedia. I'd urge you not to create lots of articles for college teachers - Wikipedia has criteria for include for biographies and a teacher, unless notable for another reason, wouldn't normally make it. Please see WP:BIO for inclusion criteria. Thanks, and happy editing. —Whouk (talk) 14:42, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
- Hi. I'd use the same criteria for subpages - they take up as much space as normal articles :-) But the principle is that unless living people have done something to push themselves into the public eye, they shouldn't be covered on Wikipedia. It is as much about protecting their privacy as writing a good encyclopedia. Generally speaking, I (and this is my view) would consider it reasonable to name the Principal (and possibly their predecessors) on an article about a school or college, but I would be unlikely to give them their own article unless they had done something else of note. WP:BIO is the best guideline to go with when it comes to living people. I'd concentrate on writing about the college itself - history, location, pass rates, etc. Cheers. —Whouk (talk) 15:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

- You should add a note to the article Talk page explaining that you have permission to use the material - although just permission is not enough as it needs to be licensed nder the GFDL. You then need to post a letter from the copyright holder to the Wikimedia Foundation confirming this - this is to prevent Wikipedia getting sued which, for obvious reasons, would be Bad Thing. For full info, see Wikipedia:Confirmation of permission. —Whouk (talk) 15:27, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
