Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page South Lyon High School has been reverted. Your edit here to South Lyon High School was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://slhsbands.webs.com/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at South Lyon 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 keep this in mind when editing an article on schools: If what you want to add is not discussed in some reliable published source that is not affiliated with the school in any way, it most likely does not belong in the article. Articles on schools are not written for the school, and they do not in any sense belong to the school. Thanks. '' John from Idegon (talk) 03:06, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

South Lyon High School & your note on my talk page
Hi. The note you left on my talk page (which I've since deleted as you left it in the middle of a conversation about another subject from two weeks ago) indicates a gross misunderstanding of what Wikipedia is. Wikipedia is not social media like Facebook. The above linked page is not a website belonging to the school. Every single thing in an article here has to be verifiable to a reliable published source. A student handbook is not a published source, it is an internal document of the school's. Although minor details can be sourced to the school, sourcing serves another purpose besides verification. It shows that the subject of the source has some interest to the world at large. This is important because, to reiterate, the article here on the school is not for the school. Wikipedia articles are targeted at the entire English speaking world. Additionally an encyclopedia article is not written like you'd write a school report. We do not write about a given subject, in this case South Lyon High School. Instead, we summarize and paraphrase what has been written about South Lyon High School in reliable, independent published sources. This article is not a vehicle for the school to disseminate information to the students, alumni or community, nor is it a place for any of those folks to share the information they want shared. Honestly, an encyclopedia article can be written much better by someone who has no knowledge whatsoever about the subject. Nothing from any individual's personal knowledge should ever be in an encyclopedia article.

You're running out of chances here. Generally, you'll be given 4 chances to either get it or ask why your edits are problematic. Read some of the links in the welcome message at the top of this page. If you are unclear on them ask myself or another editor. I'll leave you a link to a Q&A forum especially for new editors immediately following this message. I don't want to see you blocked, but I also will not stand by and watch as you try to turn an encyclopedia article into the school's webpage. I'm glad to help, but you've got to start listening to what your being told and take the initiative to seek help. Happy editing! BTW, I'm not entirely unfamiliar with SL. I lived in Hamburg back when both SL and Hamburg were country towns. Things have changed for sure. John from Idegon (talk) 08:07, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
