text: Scan it into your computer (if it's on paper), then convert it to png or jpg format. This could be done with Adobe Photoshop or the GIMP or any other graphics editor. Then click "upload file" in the toolbox on the left-hand side of the screen (on the nav bar). Just fill in the form. For help, consult WP:IUP, Wikipedia:Preparing images for upload, Wikipedia:Media, and WP:ICT. Make sure your graphic truly is uncopyrighted. To add it to the article, follow the directions at WP:PIC.--Anakata 13:59, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

message: From The NYC Board of Education Website:
"Our Mission
The mission of PS 193 is to provide a secure and nurturing atmosphere where all individuals work cooperatively towards achieving excellence by fostering each child's belief in himself/herself. We are dedicated to promoting honest and responsible behavior in our children by implementing a multi-ethnic and cross-cultural integrated curriculum, and developing students' problem-solving and critical thinking strategies. The Home-School partnership ensures the importance of parent involvement in each child's education. Through this partnership, school, personnel, and parents support the goals of providing a rich learning environment, an atmosphere of safety and security and an institution where the academic curricula integrate the arts and support fine citizenship. We will have reached our goal when our children are happy, independent, contributing members of society."
I moved this here from the article because it appears to be under copyright. Maybe paraphrase it?--Anakata 14:54, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You do it. I'm no good at paraphrasing. But why do we need a mission statement anyway?--Anakata 17:46, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: All right, I'll get started in that. More information is better, makes each article unique. --Josh,  user:POLLUX 18:45, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm proposing moving this article to Gil Hodges School, as that is the school's official name. Feedback please!--Anakata 18:16, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, Gil Hodges School is the name that's spelled out in aluminum letters over the doors! And besides, numbers seem so impersonal.--Anakata 13:52, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: School isn't meant to be personal. Better to stick with the official name. --70.111.81.63 15:53, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, then we might as well call it "Gil Hodges 193K".--Anakata 02:16, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Done. Sorry you had to see that--vandalism lasting more than two weeks is extremely rare!--gwc 07:23, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
