Please do not add or change content, as you did at Riverside University High School, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. In order to be included in a notable people's list of any kind, the person must be verifiably notable, which is sufficiently verified by their biography on Wikipedia, and there must be a verifiable connection to the article the list is in. Riverside isn't even mentioned in his bio, much less sourced. You'll need to provide a reliable secondary source for his connection to the school. A source from the school isn't secondary FYI.

Hello, so what would be considered as a "reliable secondary source"? I have spent over 30 yeas researching Stanley Weinbaum's life and career and have actual copies of his high school yearbooks and literary magazines that show he was a student and graduated from the school. The only printed records that mention Riverside High, other than those I have mentioned, are likely to be fanzines about him as a full biography of him has never been written. His Wikipedia entry (to which I have been a contributor for years under the IDs "dobizzo" and "dobizzo2") does not mention Riverside High - if I were to amend that it seems I would fall afoul of the guidelines you mentioned. So, what would you suggest? Dobizzo2 (talk) 02:07, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
