Welcome!
Hello, Allstarbreakfast98, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Blue Ridge School does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Drmies (talk) 01:45, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Blue Ridge School. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Blue Ridge School, you may be blocked from editing. ''You gotta stop with the promotion and your fancy adjectives. You're going to get blocked.'' Drmies (talk) 01:58, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Blue Ridge School
Hi Allstarbreakfast98: I've been trying to improve the school's article. Since you appear to know it well, can you find out when exactly it became boys-only? I don't see that clearly stated in the History page on their website; I gather from news coverage that it was already a boys' school when it transitioned to college preparatory in the early 1960s. Also, when exactly did it drop "Industrial" from its name? References from somewhere other than that website page would be lovely, but if you do find teh info somewhere on that page, please don't copy anything word-for-word, as you seem to have done before. Since Wikipedia is publication, we take copyright very seriously. Also, are you aware of any newspaper coverage of the tornado damage, or any other alumni who have Wikipedia articles? I failed to find any pages on the basketball players mentioned in the 2004 article I added today, and only people with Wikipedia articles can be added to "Alumni" sections of school articles, but Google news archive search is very patchy, I don't have a newspapers.com account, and offline newspaper sources are ok with full information (full date, accurate headline, author's name if any, and if possible page, in addition to full name of newspaper). I suspect there's useful coverage of the school that I simply haven't been able to find. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:16, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
