Memorial High School (West New York, New Jersey)
Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Memorial High School (West New York, New Jersey).

I understand that you're new here, but is it really so difficult to look at an article–in this case an article about a school–and its sections, realize that the right section to put an alumnus of that school is in the section called "Notable alumni"? Is it so hard to see how the material already listed in that section is formatted, and then, by way of imitation, just place your addition in that section in the same manner? Why would you put it in the References section? Why not preview your edit after saving it, or at the very least, reverting your edit or asking someone for help after saving it, and seeing that it resulted in this? Did you actually look at how Armando Vilaseca's name ended up underneath the citations listed in the References section and say, "Yep, that looks right."?

In addition, Wikipedia cannot accept unsourced material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, or obtained through personal knowledge or unpublished synthesis of previously published material. Wikipedia requires that all material added to articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. If you have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page.
