-In the 2009 MathCounts Competition, the school recieved numerous awards in the State competition. Kevin Zhou, 8th grade, was selected to compete in the national competition in Florida.
-At the 2009 Heritage Music Festival, both Jazz Band and Show Choir recieved Superior, or Gold awards for their performances. The Show Choir was awarded a score of 93, and the Jazz Band recieved a 90. MMS was the only middle School out of many high schools attending the festival, which took place from April 3-5, 2009, in Williamsburg, Virginia.
-At the 2009 Heritage Music Festival, two students recieved individual Maestro Awards for their solos during the adjudications. This was the first time a Marlboro Middle School student received this award, which was given to only 6 students. Matt Gilbert, 7th grade, an alto saxophone player from the Jazz Band, recieved the award for two solos in the selections of "In the Mood" and "Frankenstein". Sydney Hymanson, 8th grade, a vocalist from the Show Choir received the award for her solo in the selection "I Whistle a Happy Tune".
-At the 2009 National History Day (NHD) Competition, many students scored well enough to advance to the State Competition.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.89.36.65 (talk) 20:37, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Laurence Duggan

message: Ideas for improving the article:
*Find more information/external links for the "Venona Version"
*Separate the Accusations/Defenses of espionage into other sections, with other details of his life (if available) in a biography-esque main Section
*Improve wording and heading name for the "Other Views" section
*Provide references for the "Other Views" section
*At least find exact sources for Date of Birth and Date of Death, and remove those categories.
*Feel Free to add more to this list.
Currently, while the article is less WWd overall, and is in agreement with it's own pathetic one reference, I still think it needs alot of work. Fiddlesoup 22:26, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Template talk:College athlete recruit start

message: I believe that for a reader who is not well versed in US college sports (someone like me, for example), this template contains almost no useful information because those readers simply do not understand what this template is about and what the sections in this template mean. I myself am not sure what the template is about. Is it about high school athletes and their chances of getting college scholarships? Is it about college athletes and their chances of getting a high draft rank in the professional leagues? Or is it about something else? 
So, I would suggest giving the template a header which describes what it is about, preferably containing a link to a Wiki page which describes the topic in further detail. How about this: "US college sports recruiting information for high school athletes"? As I said, I'm not sure at all if this is correct. 
I have noted further suggestions at Template_talk:College_athlete_recruit_entry and Template_talk:College_athlete_recruit_end. Spike (talk) 17:42, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Template is not self-explanatory 

message: The template links to "40 yard dash" which leads to a redirect as the article is title "40-yard dash". Please add the dash.
Also, there is a line break between "40 time" and "in these cases" which seems to be an error, as this is a continuation of the same thought. The line break should be before "ESPN grades". Boycool (talk) 16:43, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Not done: this would seem to need a consensus before using the  template. In this template "commit" appears to be a stative verb (rather than the dynamic verb you suggest) acting as an adjective. Unusual but not unheard of.

Talk:Apure River

message: *It is not Colombian. The real source of Apure river is the origin of Uribante in Páramo El Cobre (3800 meters above sea level). --Fev 14:51, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes the Apure is primarily a Venezuelan river, but not exclusively.  Also where a river originates and where its waters originate may not be the same.  The waters of the Rio Grande originate from, among other places, a snow bank at the head of Bear Creek, Colorado, but that is not where the Rio Grande starts.  The Uribante River is a separate river whose downstream end is at the Apure, just like the downstream end of the Apure is at the Orinoco.  --Bejnar 22:45, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: The Apure is a Venezuelan river

message: The Encyclopedia Britannica currently (2007) lists the Apure as being 510 miles (820 km) long.  The straight-line distant (point-to-point) from where it flows out onto the llanos to its confluence with the Orinoco is about 300 miles as measured on a map. This is consistent with the 1911 Encyc.Brit. statement: "It has a sluggish course across the llanos for about 300 m.[miles], and is navigable throughout its length." TIFF image of "Apure" from 1911 edition Especially if that 300 mile figure ignores the twists and bends in the river. Also the navigability of the river as stated in 1911 has been questioned. The rapids at about the 110 mile mark are a limit to large craft navigation. More later. --Bejnar 22:45, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

message: *Bejnar is wrong considering the Apure River as a Colombian River. It is the Arauca, not the Apure, the river whose origin is in Colombia, as you can see in any good book or Atlas. Please be more careful on these matters. --Fev 01:18, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Amazonas (Venezuelan state)

message: The section population in this article is a serious concern for anyone reading it, it is severely flawed. The majority of the state is non-black and non-Hispanic with no European genetic influence! The people over 70% are indigenous natives, they are not mestizo, black, Hispanic or white; they are tribal native peoples that have their history based in the region since before Christopher Columbus. I am not sure where the reference came from for the table included in the article, at the time of the state census in 2011 the government incompetence is extreme and may be trying to devalue the international rights of the 17 indigenous tribes that inhabit the state.

Talk:Philip the Evangelist

message: Until recently, it was said on this page, in a recent paragraph, that Philip baptised an Ethiopian eunuch.  However, recently that wording was changed by one Richard Deveraux to "'man of Ethiopian' (frequently cited as "Ethiopian, but this is not what the text conveys)."  The meaning of this I do not know, because I have failed to find the strange phrase "man of Ethiopian" in any version I know.  No citation is given for Dereraux's addition, so I will be removing it.  And in case anyone is wondering, the KJV calls the fellow, "a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch." Some other versions, translating more literally, call him an Ethiopian.  The most literal translation from Greek would be to call him "a man, an Ethiopian, a eunuch."  So regardless of what translation we use, I don't think anyone will object to his being called an Ethiopian eunuch.  This is normally such a minor issue that I wouldn't think to mention it on a talk page, but seeing the sensitivity of so many toward even the most seemingly minor differences between Bible translations, it seemed good to justify my reasoning.

James writes:
I am studying an introductory economics masters course so not really an expert but I am concerned the entry may be misleading.
Basically, my understanding is that if A is preferred to B and B is preferred to C, then only a risk neutral person won't care if they get B for sure or take a fair gamble for outcomes B or C.  
A risk averse person would not want the gamble at all and a risk loving person would actually want the gamble.  The article doesn't mention risk loving or otherwise!
I have to confess I don't known the theory in detail.
Hope this helps, I think Wikipedia is a really great idea and I know for a fact it's many student's lifeline!
