Welcome![edit]

Hello, Abbymac1024, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Hello, I'm Meters. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Bensalem High School have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Please don't add inline external links. That is not how we do references Meters (talk) 02:13, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Your recent edit to Bensalem High School appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

I'm not trying to chase you away. I can see that you are attempting to update and improve the article.

Non-notable alumni being added is a very common issue with school articles. With very limited exceptions, the schools project insists on all entries having Wikipedia articles to establish the subjects' notability. If you think the person would qualify for an article then please write the article first. See WP:WTAF (but note that writing a new article is one of the more difficult things for a new user to do. See WP:FIRST.)

Take a look at how I converted your external links into properly formatted inline references here and here. Meters (talk) 03:24, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
