New Staff: Prefix

Seeing as some pages about staff members function somewhat like fan pages, these pages are being merged into a structure similar to that of Hall of {F,Sh}ame: pages. This means two things:

1. Most pages on staff members will be relocated to a page called Staff:???, where ??? is a three-letter site code.
2. Sections on staff are now considered semi-open. They will be patrolled for notability in a fashion similar to the HoF and HoS pages, and material deemed unnoteworthy will likely be moved to the Hall: pages.

Existing staff pages that are comprehensive and encyclopedic enough will remain as separate pages, but I don't believe there are many of these (or at least, there are several in each category, but none in both).

Editing Reminders

• Use proper grammar and spelling.
• Italicize or enquotulate the titles of books, songs, movies, etc.
• Alphabetize the Lexicon.
• Keep categories at the bottom of pages.
• Divide pages by site as necessary in the following order, verbatim: Lancaster | Carlisle | Saratoga Springs (Skidmore) | Loudonville (Siena) | Los Angeles (LMU) | Baltimore (JHU) | Hawaii | Easton | Other sites.

Welcome

This is your CTY website. It's yours. A quick intro:

• Use the RealCTY:Community Portal to see what's new on the site.
• Find and advertise reunions, and plan with friends for next session.
• Play in the Sandbox.
• 72633455064916235913983 (This was the original content of Prune me, move me, change me, share me. It does not appear to hold meaning.)
• Maybe if we write Center for Talented Youth on the Main Page, Google will notice us in a search of said words!

Before you start editing, read this page.

Please don't destroy pages in any way; many people have worked hard on the success of this site. Deformattings, mass deletions, vandalism, and spamming may result in bannage.

If you like this site, please advertise it to CTYers you know, or to potential CTYers (that you potentially know!). The more, the merrier!
