		+	Hi! Thank you for these comments and your edits, I am new (at least as an editor) to WikiCU... Most importantly, I completely missed the existing King's Crown page, I guess the two should be merged. I will try to find a solution for this... Thanks for your encouragements! --[[User:Alinghi\|Alinghi]] 23:49, 19 May 2013 (EDT)

 *We already have quite a few pages on many topics, so you may want to search for them before you start a new page. For example, the building on 116th you began a new page for already has a page at [[King's Crown {Residence Hall)]] that you could have located by searching for the address.
