Copyright problem removed

Prior content in this article duplicated one or more previously published sources. The material was copied from: https://web.archive.org/web/20080924114644/http://www.garlandisdschools.net:80/page.cfm?p=1698, https://web.archive.org/web/20080924114724/http://www.garlandisdschools.net:80/page.cfm?p=184 and many other pages of the school website. Copied or closely paraphrased material has been rewritten or removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a compatible license. (For more information, please see "using copyrighted works from others" if you are not the copyright holder of this material, or "donating copyrighted materials" if you are.)

For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, and, if allowed under fair use, may copy sentences and phrases, provided they are included in quotation marks and referenced properly. The material may also be rewritten, providing it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Therefore, such paraphrased portions must provide their source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:28, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Conflict of interest #2

More than one major contributor to this article appears to have a close personal or professional connection to the topic, and thus to have a conflict of interest. Conflict-of-interest editors are strongly discouraged from editing the article directly, but are always welcome to propose changes on the talk page (i.e., here). You can attract the attention of other editors by putting {{request edit}} (exactly so, with the curly parentheses) at the beginning of your request, or by clicking the link on the lowest yellow notice above. Requests that are not supported by independent reliable sources are unlikely to be accepted.

Please also note that our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation." An editor who contributes as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:28, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

A further note: This encyclopedia article is in no way "for" the school. Except for the most mundane non contentious and non promotional material, everything you add must come from and be sourced to a reliable independent source. What the school or the school district has to say about this school is irrelevant. That is simply the tertiary nature of any encyclopedia. We do not write about the school; instead we write about what has been written about the school.

Students, staff and alumni frequently successfully edit school articles. In order to do so, your edits must conform to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, as must your methods. Here are some key policies and guidelines to be aware of (there are more, other experienced editors feel free to make additions):

• The pillar policy on verifiability
• Policies on reliable sources
• School article guidelines - here you will find info on what we do and do not include in a school article
• Guidance on what to do if an edit you make is removed

Remember, unless it's your job to edit this article, you do not automatically have a conflict of interest simply by being associated with the school. That will be determined by how you go about editing. As long as your efforts meet expectations, it should never come up. John from Idegon (talk) 23:49, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
