Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to MEF International School Istanbul, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Welcome
Hello, AminaT5678 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.

If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text:  on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Ryan (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:29, 20 March 2015 (UTC)


 * I would also like to provide some advice regarding the MEF International School Istanbul. Subjects on Wikipedia should be covered by summarizing what secondary sources say about the subject. The MEF article currently only cites the school website, which is a primary source. This gives the impression of being promotional. Please do your best to ensure anything you state in the article (other than the most basic facts about the school, like number of students and location) is backed up by a reliable secondary source. Otherwise, it's possible the article will be deleted or much of its content removed. If you have questions about what I mean, feel free to ask here. If you are working on this for a class assignment, please also ask your instructor to leave a message here, at my talk page, or at the education noticeboard. Thank you! --Ryan (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:41, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

MEF International School Istanbul
Hi Amina, I think you and your classmates have done well in getting some references into the article on your school. However, I have deleted the paragraph you included on "foundation and vision" because it was unsourced and also because it included first person/point of view content, e.g. "our school." Wikipedia articles should be written from a neutral point of view. If you can cite a source for that information as well as rewrite it in a way that is neutral and third person, you may be able to include it, but it should not be put in the way it was previously. Thanks. Melcous (talk) 10:42, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
