Please do not add or change content, as you did at Irmo High School, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 22:51, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Brandon. You are having a bit of a tough time getting started here I see. One thing you need to remember is that this is not social media or a blog. This is an encyclopedia. All writing must be in a neutral tone. I'm sure you have fond feelings for your former principal, but your glowing tribute to him was inappropriate for an encyclopedia. Further, everything in an encyclopedia needs to come from an already published source. If you looked up the info to write the history in a book or online, you need to cite the source of that information. Help with the mechanics of doing that can be found at Referencing for beginners. Also, please read the links you were provided above and ask questions at the teahouse. We want you to be able to contribute, you just have to be able to contribute in an encyclopedic manner. Other editors are willing to help. Just ask! John from Idegon (talk) 22:56, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
