Welcome!
Hello, Elkriverstrong, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Herbert Hoover High School (West Virginia) have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been or will be removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

 * Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. Although I'm sure everything you've written is true, coverage in an encyclopedia,  by definition tertiary, is mostly limited to things coveted by reliable sources independent of the school. You are welcome to include a complete listing of the arts and music programs offered by the school and source that to the school, but anything beyond a simple listing will require an independent source. Further, we limit some of the things we discuss in school articles. Achievement must be of the highest possible level, generally state champion or higher. We do not discuss things like halftime programs or local parades, because virtually every school that has a band does those things. We never mention student or staff names, and we do not make comparisons to other schools. Further, as a dissemiter of facts, we do not use phrases like "and more" nor do we write in a way that sounds promotional of this school or any program in it. If I can be of any help with this school article or any other school article, feel free to drop a note on my talk page. John from Idegon (talk) 04:38, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
