Hello, I'm TheSandDoctor. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Northridge High School (Indiana), 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! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. TheSandDoctor (talk) 18:18, 20 April 2017 (UTC) This is being posted on your talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss issues and respond to questions. At the end of each message you will see a signature left by the editor posting. This is done by signing with four tildes ( ~ ) or by pressing or  in the editing interface toolbox, located just above the editing window (when editing). You won't need to sign your contributions to articles themselves; you only need to when using talk pages. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance.

Northridge High School (Indiana)
Hi. Just a quick note. Please understand that the above named page is not the school's page on Wikipedia, such as a Facebook page might be. This article is not for the school or its students to disseminate the information they want out there. There are guidelines and policies up the yazoo here as to what should and shouldn't be in articles. Firstly, a pillar policy on neutrality has been violated by your additions, mostly the tone used to write it. Second, we do not discuss the achievements of individual non notable students, nor do we name them. The two para-olympians may be notable, in which case you could add them to a notable alumni section after you or someone else writes their biographical articles to show they are notable. The only athletic achievements we discuss are the highest level achievements, generally state championships, and only with independent sourcing such as a newspaper article or the IHSAA. We never name staff, except the principal (again, unless they are notable). Please remember that this is an encyclopedia article about the school, not a page for the school. Also remember that in an encyclopedia, we do not write about the subject, we write about what has been written about the subject. One last thing: Everyone here is more or less equal, and we do not have chief editors, but we police ourselves. It is not uncommon to have your edits reverted. When that happens, you need to inquire as to why if you do not understand and come to a consensus on what to include. This is done on the article's talk page. You do not just put it back. That is called edit warring and will generally lead to your editing privileges being suspended. If I can help in any way, leave me a note on my talk page. Thanks.

 * BTW, how are things up in Northern Indiana? I spent most of my life near there (Gary area, and then Kalamazoo) and miss it greatly.  Good luck on learning the ropes here, and I sincerely mean it when I say if you need help to ask.  Happy editing. John from Idegon (talk) 19:03, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
