Talk:New York State Education Department

message: Hi. Does anyone think this article should be merged with the Regents (Examinations) article? Please let me know what you think. --D-Day 22:18, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That was my line of thinking. Plus since they are both short articles, this would be a more efficient way of spreading the information. Spread the word about this vote as I'd like this to be completed ASAP. --D-Day 18:17, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger 

message: There seems to be some confusion. The Regents Exams article was merged with this one because the Regents article was a stub, and the Regents are taken in New York, hence the reason why they belong in the same article. Are there any questions? --D-Day 18:55, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Hold it. I am currently a student in the state of New York so I do have "real authority" on the subject. Secondly, the idea of a merger between the two articles was discussed before, and a concensus(well, for our purposes anyway) was reached, so therefore a merger was accepted by Wikipedia's standards. Also, read the statement at the bottom of the page "If you don't want your writing to be editing and redistributed by others, please don't submit." So that's the risk you take when unmerge the articles.
Now, I will say that I like your work on the Regents page. But if you didn't like the way it looked on the NYSDE page, you could have just edited the info on that page, rather than unmerge them. I can see that you're a newbie on Wikipedia, so I'm willing to be patient.
The reason why these two articles were merged was because the Regents article was a short article(a stub) and since Regents are taken in New York, that was the reasoning behind it all. Tell you what, if you're willing, we can put these articles back up for a potential merger, and we'll let the rest of the Wikipedia community decide rather than us. Deal?--D-Day 22:48, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Regents Examinations 

message: For the record, my IP addresses have changed enough times that I'm definitely not a newbie to Wikipedia, but in fact have edited several articles and been on here as an active participant in the English section for at least six months. I'm not going to tell you what my old IP or username was, because that doesn't matter. But in any case I don't appreciate being talked down to or being told that you will be patient with me.
I agree, however, in terms of letting others on Wikipedia decide rather than either of us. And I appreciate your compliments regarding how the new Regents (Examinations) page looks. I do try to do quality work. 71.246.77.104 04:51, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: My apologies if you found my comments demeaning. It was just that seeing only two edits in your user name, that was my first assumption. I'm glad you're willing to let the articles come back up for rediscussion. When I get a chance, I'll put the templates back up, and I'll notify the duplicate articles page.--D-Day 10:33, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

On Page 3 it gives a Haitian Creole name: DEPATAMAN EDIKASYON POU ETA NOUYÒK LA
