==Gerardo Loza==
An artard kid that attends Guajome Park Academy High with nick names of Mardy and Gilbert . He has become the main character for the YouTube channel Chips4m3. In his freshmen year, Loza fell in love with a princess in Guajome. Luckly he was sucsesful to dance with her on the last dance for GPA 2008. During the 2008 summer, he went on vacation to Tepa in Mexico with his family. During his trip at Tepa, he asked a girl out which ended up becoming his girlfriend for the time he was at Tepa. When we came back to the city of Vista in California he had a sad moment of losing his love. When the school finally started the first thing he was proud of was seeing the princess in G.P.A. once again right after having a 2 month's of vacation.

== Young Life ==
In his young life, Gerardo went to Bobier elementary and Washington middle school. Durring that time he would play Storm soccer on the Vista team. When it reached his 3rd year, he decited to drop of the team. Wile he attended Washington middle school he was glad to be in the same school as his cousin Lupita Solsa. Right after the year was over, he transfered to Guajome for the rest of middle school. The more time would go by, the more his Mardy stile would grow. Wile being at Guajome, he was on the mood of just making more friends so they can become their Mardy's for life.

Hi – while working at CP, I came across [[Frederick Race Godfrey]], which you deleted and restored on March 21 stating that CP hadn't lasted a full week. I deleted it today, and I wanted to let you know that if there are no good/untainted/uninfringing versions in the article's history '''and''' there is no assertion of permission, these articles can be speedied under G12. The instructions to admins are contradictory and haven't been updated since May 2007, but the change was made by Jimbo sometime after that. After I get that backlog cut down to size, those instructions are next.

It's the assertion of permission that gives them the seven days, so they have time to go to OTRS. If there's no claim of permission somewhere in an edit summary or a user talk page or the article talk page, go ahead and hit the delete button guilt-free. :-) Thanks for helping out! - [[User:KrakatoaKatie|<font color="navy">'''Krakatoa'''</font>]][[User talk:KrakatoaKatie|<font color="maroon">Katie</font>]] 20:17, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

"Early church records indicate uses of water clocks, however, around the turn of the 14th century, there was increased mention of "horologes," as they were called. Water clocks were being adapted to use escapement methods, rather than water." This part, from the lead, is unclear (I can't understand it, at least...); mind re-writing it? Also, I'm pretty sure I read (or saw on the History Channel) something about Greek water clocks (Alexandria, so modern Egypt); I'll try to find it. · AndonicO Hail! 21:10, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the mention of horologes and the second sentence makes it confusing. I don't have time to elaborate, just thought I'd explain at least a little... · AndonicO Hail! 22:05, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I see. I've copyedited your changes, maybe go over them to make sure I didn't screw anything up. · AndonicO Hail! 23:09, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My article just went GA! Hang in there pal, I'm sure your one will get there soon :) Ryan4314 (talk) 16:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good going on the GA pal, knew you could do it. Never knew about "Cannon" though, was that just you or did others help? Ryan4314 (talk) 22:20, 7 April 2008

Cabal debate opinion

You know you're actually supposed to endorse your own summary, right? - DiligentTerrier (and friends) 22:23, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi – while working at CP, I came across Frederick Race Godfrey, which you deleted and restored on March 21 stating that CP hadn't lasted a full week. I deleted it today, and I wanted to let you know that if there are no good/untainted/uninfringing versions in the article's history and there is no assertion of permission, these articles can be speedied under G12. The instructions to admins are contradictory and haven't been updated since May 2007, but the change was made by Jimbo sometime after that. After I get that backlog cut down to size, those instructions are next.

It's the assertion of permission that gives them the seven days, so they have time to go to OTRS. If there's no claim of permission somewhere in an edit summary or a user talk page or the article talk page, go ahead and hit the delete button guilt-free. :-) Thanks for helping out! - KrakatoaKatie 20:17, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look at the GAC for you tomorrow morning. · AndonicO Hail! 23:18, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, never mind... someone got to it already. · AndonicO Hail! 08:45, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
LOL weird, we both put up our articles for GA at the same time! Except mine hasn't been reviewed yet :( Is this the first time you've put an article up for GA??? Ryan4314 (talk) 11:51, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yea my first too. Ryan4314 (talk) 17:54, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
