Hello, I'm User:Schazjmd. I wanted to let you know that I reverted two of your recent contributions —specifically to Rawmarsh Community School and Ben Wiles — because they did not include sources and had links incorrectly formatted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks. Schaz (talk) 16:02, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

Adding references

Hi Dobbo02, I saw that you put back the list of alumni to Rawmarsh Community School. When I pointed out that it needed a reference, that means a reference to a reliable second-party source, not a link to another Wikipedia article. You can learn more about verifiability requirements and how to add footnotes. Schaz (talk) 16:24, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

Glad to have you join Wikipedia!

I just saw your note on my talk page, I appreciate it! I hope you enjoy being a Wikipedia editor. :) Schaz (talk) 16:26, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
