Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Rancho Cucamonga High School, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

Do not use multiple IP addresses to disrupt Wikipedia, like you did at Rancho Cucamonga High School. Such attempts to avoid detection, circumvent policies or evade blocks or sanctions will not succeed. You are welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, but your recent edits have been reverted or removed. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, '''you may be blocked from editing without further notice. It does not matter if you' do not think the person in question is notable enough. He has a Wikipedia article to show his notability, and his attendance is sourced. That is sufficient. Leave it alone.'' Meters (talk) 17:11, 19 October 2023 (UTC)


 * It does not matter how long he attended this school. Alumni may be listed in any school they attended, even if it was for only one day. Meters (talk) 17:52, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * See WP:ALUMNI Meters (talk) 17:54, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * , neither is sourcing in a target article "all that is required", nor is WP:ALUMNI more than an essay's section. Of course a consensus could be found at Talk:Rancho Cucamonga High School about whether or not to include alumni under which criteria. There is a talk page section there already, from 2010, complaining about the lack of citations and explaining why they're needed. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:58, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * What I wrote was "He has a Wikipedia article to show his notability, and his attendance is sourced. That is sufficient." That's the long-term consensus at the school's project. Are you claiming that is not sufficient? And I added an explicit source for his attendance to this school article. The user is trying to move the goal posts. First it was that he was not notable enough, but notability does not work that way. He's notable enough for an English Wikipedia article, that that is the criterion for inclusion in lists of school notables. The user can take the subject's article to AFD if they with to challenge notability, but I doubt very much it would be successful. Then they tried to remove the subject since he had attended other high schools for longer, but WP:ALUMNI explicitly addresses this with "All alumni meeting these criteria are to be included on an alumni list, regardless of how much time they have spent on a school roll, from one day to several years, and whether or not they graduated."

 * I agree about moving goalposts (see 18:08, 19 October 2023 below). Thank you for adding the citation. It's probably clear that no wikiproject can override WP:BURDEN, so that does becomes insufficient as soon as the information is challenged (for example by removal) – that said, 128.135.204.98's concern probably never was verifiability, so the information has never really been challenged.
 * If the removals continue, I'll semi-protect the page to require 128.135.204.98 to discuss instead of edit warring. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:23, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Avoiding an edit war
Hi 128.135.204.98! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Rancho Cucamonga High School several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree&#32;at, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:59, 19 October 2023 (UTC)


 * 128.135.204.98, as the reasons provided by you for removal suddenly changed when one became unavailable, I'm afraid that your removals may have been for reasons beyond those you stated. Perhaps you could provide those on the talk page... ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:08, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
