Happy editing! - Adolphus79 (talk) 23:59, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Adolphus79. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Salesianum School, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - Adolphus79 (talk) 23:59, 9 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I mean, its hard because I go to the school. The directory is the only place to easily take the enrollment data. I can try to get the Fusco data but otherwise I mean I can take a picture of the directory filters. FooltheEditor (talk) 00:01, 10 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, that is what we would consider original research. What we need are reliable sources. If you can find a newspaper article, school newsletter, official school directory online, school district website, etc., that would be great. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. - Adolphus79 (talk) 00:08, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I can link the directory but its only gonna work for sallies students. "salesianum.myschoolapp.com/app/student#directory/1167" FooltheEditor (talk) 00:13, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I did find backup for my other entry of the donation. FooltheEditor (talk) 00:14, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's not going to help. Think of it this way, we need any future reader that happens on the page to be able to click and verify the content. I even checked the school's website just now and it appears that it has not been updated in a few years. What is backup? - Adolphus79 (talk) 00:20, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Preachin to the choir, cant we just citation needed it like it was before edit FooltheEditor (talk) 00:41, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Technically, you could do that, but then you would fail WP:BURDEN. Good job on the ref for the donation though! - Adolphus79 (talk) 01:42, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I mean I kinda have to fail Verifiability to make it true FooltheEditor (talk) 02:04, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

A-ha! But if we can't verify the information, how do we know it's true? - Adolphus79 (talk) 02:23, 10 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Then we forever keep it at a number we ourselves admit is completely unverified. FooltheEditor (talk) 02:34, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * No one ever said being a Wikipedian was easy, or an overnight thing (I've been here 17 years, and am still learning). The article has been here since 2005, I don't think it's going anywhere. Take your time to find a good source, maybe ask your school administrators if they might be able to help? Don't worry, I'm not going to remove anything while I know you are working on it. - Adolphus79 (talk) 02:41, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks, you've been a big help. Ive use wiki for over 10 years now and it's nice to have such an easy way to work on edits and know about any corrections to make for the future. FooltheEditor (talk) 02:47, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, this page and the article itself are both on my watchlist now, so feel free to ask if you need any help. - Adolphus79 (talk) 02:50, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * One thing, how do I use free label for alma mater song? FooltheEditor (talk) 02:53, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not exactly sure what you mean, are you asking how to upload a free-use audio file? - Adolphus79 (talk) 03:15, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * No like in school info box there is a free label option and id like to add category alma mater and then attac title of alma mater FooltheEditor (talk) 10:57, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Awesome, I went to Template:Infobox school (the instructions for the infobox) and there was already a parameter for song. I went ahead and added the empty parameter to the infobox for you. For future reference, if you have any questions about any templates like that on a page when you are editing, below the editing window, there is a drop-down for "Pages transcluded onto this page". If you open that drop down, you can then find the template you are looking for (in this case, "Infobox school"), and click on that template's page to see the full instructions, etc. - Adolphus79 (talk) 12:35, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
