Hello, I'm Srich32977. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Loyola Law School, because it 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. Thank you. – S.

Hi - one of the reasons I added Juliette Youngblood under Loyola Law School notable alumni is because she has received their Distinguished Alumni award - I put a link to her website because I have seen on other wikipedia pages regarding a school's notable alumni that there are links of this sort. Please advise if you now feel this link is appropriate. Thanks for your assistance! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allanadoe (talk • contribs)


 * I see you removed your comment from my talk page. That's okay, here is a response. Youngblood's webpage will not qualify as a suitable reference. It is WP:SPS. As a distinguished alum, there must be an independent WP:RS to establish this. Even so, simply receiving a DA award may not work because of WP:GNG. Many school articles have these notable alum sections, but we generally limit them to people with their own WP articles. – S. Rich (talk) 20:35, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. I removed my comment on your talk page because when I went there, it says if I'm replying to a message you sent me, I should leave it on my talk page, as you are watching it. I haven't done this before so I wasn't sure what to do but thank you for replying to me on my talk page.

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as on User talk:Allanadoe, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or  located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. Allen, my next post will be a listing of links to assist with editing. – S.
