Hello,
I have a vast knoweldge of the history of Warwick School and have many reference books from which i look up my information.
If you look at the history of the "Warwick School" page, you will see that I have added 2 paragraphs of information, however, GN Frykman, seems to find it funny to dismiss my hard work as "vandalism". Please contact this user and block him if necessary - he can't simply go around deleting people's hard work.
It seems that he has also been very rude to one of the wikipedia moderators.
Thanks,
Liam

{{You've got mail|subject=|ts=22:03, 10 January 2025 (UTC)}}
Many people believe that Big Spring is representative of the social rot that Republicanism has wrought upon Texas. The school system is appalling, from kindergarten through Howard College, the local community college. In the local high school, football takes precedence over any pretense of education.

==Happy First Edit Day!==
The economic base of Big Spring consists largely of low-wage, unskilled and semi-skilled work. One of the major career opportunities in Big Spring is prison guard, working in one of the numerous local prisons. A high percentage of the local population lives in poverty, and would be eligible for public assistance if the Republicans had not gutted social safety net programs. Upon visiting Big Spring, the poverty and lack of medical care will be readily evident as soon as a local smiles, showing off a mouth full of the rotting stumps of what were once teeth. Obesity and diabetes are also at epidemic levels in Big Spring. The teen pregnancy rate is astounding, and in fact it is not uncommon to meet young women in Big Spring, as young as 20, who have 3 children, each with a different father. This is especially ironic considering the dedication to fundamentalist, evangelical Christianity displayed by most residents of Big Spring. There is something of a racial divide in Big Spring between the majority white population and the large hispanic population. The municipal water in Big Spring emits a quite unpleasant odor and is not recommended for actual drinking. The downtown improvement plan for Big Spring has consisted of periodically knocking down abandoned buildings, turning what was once a prosperous downtown into vacant lots overgrown with weeds and filled with trash. The city of Big Spring does not have a single general interest bookstore (non-Christian), which says quite a bit about the local literacy rates. The class structure in Big Spring is third-world like, with a small number of well connected and well off business people ruling over the 90% of the population who are poor.

From the ], ] (]) 06:03, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
There are also many positives about Big Spring. The people are the friendliest you'll meet! And if you like barbecue and Tex-Mex food Big Spring has some outstanding restaurants. Brenda’s Barbecue is highly recommended, although residents of Big Spring are quite opinionated when it comes to a discussion of barbecue or Tex-Mex food. There is one truly amazing display of Christmas lights at the Partee residence. The "Live Drive Through Nativity" is one of a kind. Housing costs are unbelievably inexpensive and many people have adapted to the arid climate by xeriscaping their lawns.

Given the type of volunteer work I do here, I'm not comfortable with the WMF disclosing my identity or private information to municipal courts in foreign countries or with them making editorial decisions on behalf of same. I'm taking a bit of a break; I'll watch the outcomes and evaluate my volunteer efforts accordingly. Thank you Bluerasberry for the excellent summaries at the Signpost.

Welcome to my talk page. Please sign and date your entries by inserting ~~~~ at the end. Please note that I will usually respond on this page to keep the conversation together. If you have a question about a particular edit/reversion, please try to include a link to it if you can.

WARNING: If you've come here because my name was used in a solicitation for a paid Misplaced Pages article, you are being scammed. In no way, shape, or form would I ever operate or advise as a paid editor. I also do not typically assist declared paid editors; I'm here as a volunteer to improve the project, not to help you turn a buck.
