West Jefferson High School edit

I have substantially cleaned up the page as it needed some working. I removed a lot of the information concerning the dress code and some other things because they are better suited for the school website. If you have any questions on working on the page further, please feel free to ask as I am willing to help you whenever you might need it. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 18:46, 18 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Just so you know, you don't have to put a notification on the talk page everytime something comes up with the school. Normally, people don't even put notifications out there, so I don't really know what to advise. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 00:24, 24 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, try not to put in something that says, "It exploded by the blacks." That sounds bad, but you could always put in, "The explosion was caused by a few african american students." The problem with the way you had it seems to indicate that you are a bit racist. I don't care about your beliefs, but please be aware that there is an aim for a neutral encyclopedia here.

I don't know what to say there other than wait a few days, and if nothing comes up, just leave it to be, as it wasn't that notable. I'm just suprised that it was removed, but I think I might know the reason why. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:21, 27 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
Also, you don't have to put up a new header every time you write something new. A simple "*" or ":" will suffice most of the time. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:22, 27 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
Just remember that you're writing an encyclopedia article, not a newspaper- don't include every thing that happens at the school, only the things that will still be important in 50 years. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 03:32, 27 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
You cannot simply post whatever you see. The event must be discussed in a newspaper article, news article, journal article, or another reliable source. See Wikipedia:V and Wikipedia:Citing sources WhisperToMe (talk) 19:12, 27 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
