Hello!

I am very pleased to see movement on the Oakham School page, but I fear your changes may be reverted soon by an overzealous editor. You may wish to read WP:INLINE for help creating the inline citations like those already in the article, and also I believe WP:CITE and WP:NOTABLE both apply to the list of Old Oakhamians that you have added to. Unfortunately, Wikipedia demands that some reference be added to those listed to show information about their link to the school, especially those still alive. Equally, most of those on the list would not be classed as notable enough to be on there, despite their obvious significance.

If you would like some help with Wikipedia style, I am more than willing to work on the article myself or to answer any questions you have. I would also recommend that the article's body be re-written to be more about the history of the school, rather than a list of current housemasters, as per WP:NOTGUIDE.

Sorry to have linked you to so many policies, but a skim read of even one or two may be handy. Thanks!  Nik Naks  talk - gallery 20:59, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
