My username is "Timeless insight". I work for the Krishnamurti Foundation of America who runs the Oak Grove School in Ojai California. I have been asked to update and edit the profile page for Oak Grove School (Ojai, California) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and I am making edits that keep being deleted. The text that I am adding is from the website for Oak Grove School and I DO have permission to re-print it. What can I do to prevent my edits from being deleted?

It is to be written from a neutral third-party point of view. Not from the promotional material of the school. I suggest you do a news search to come up with articles about the school and reference them in the article. User:Mitamarine
It's OK to quote the school's goals or mission statement, along with basic facts, but elegies of Krishnamurti, or very general philosophical reflections without direct educational relevance, are not really relevant to what Wikipedia is for. Churchh (talk) 23:11, 6 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
Things have changed around here since 2011. Except for very mundane, indisputable, non promotional facts, every single thing in the article must be sourcable to reliable independent sources. I added a very basic source that verifies very basic things. Everything else is going to be removed. This is not a publicity vehicle for the school. The school's mission and philosophy belongs on its website, not here. Unless a reliable secondary source had written on it, it does not belong here. We could care less what the school or the foundation that owns it[citation needed] wants to say about it. John from Idegon (talk) 00:28, 14 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
That's not really true -- see Wikipedia:Verifiability#Self-published or questionable sources as sources on themselves... Churchh (talk) 08:07, 20 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Is it 8:1 or 9:1? Churchh (talk) 23:15, 6 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
