Please do not add or change content, as you did at Joseph Wheeler High School, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. ''Please note that verifiability is more important on Wikipedia than "truth". Even if you know the principal has or will change, do not change until the school website updates.'' John from Idegon (talk) 03:01, 15 June 2019 (UTC) I am unclear why I need a citation given the guidelines? The information that I updated/provided was not the result of research or consultation with any data other than my own. I am the former PTA President for the school, as well as a current member of the board. I have first hand knowledge of the information I provided.
 * Firsthand knowledge is specifically not allowed as a source. See WP:OR. All information must come from reliable published sources. See WP:V. Encyclopedias are tertiary. Further, due to your close association with the school, you have a conflict of interest. See the following. This isn't Facebook; this isn't the school's "page" on Wikipedia. It is an encyclopedia article about the school. Encyclopedias are constructed by summarizing and paraphrasing what others have written in reliable secondary sources. Except for concerns of COI, it matters not who you are. All that matters are sources. John from Idegon (talk) 18:44, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Danielhwhite. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Joseph Wheeler High School, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 18:46, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
