Hello! Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. At least one of your edits on the page Brogden Middle School, while it may have been in good faith, was difficult to distinguish from vandalism. To help other editors understand the reason for the changes, you can use an edit summary for your contributions. You can also take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Safari Scribe Edits! Talk! 10:11, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Welcome
Good morning/afternoon/evening,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I wanted to say hi because a few things I just did may be discouraging, but are essential parts of Wikipedia and our sister project Wikimedia Commons. I just nominated 3 images you uploaded onto commons for meeting deletion criteria because they appear to violate copyright. You had listed them as being in the Public Domain, however the websites they were taken from all appear to reserve their copyright over the website contents, including the images. I would strongly urge you to review our copyright policies and Wikimedia Commons Licensing policies before uploading or re-uploading. This will also give information in case you are the copyright holder.

In addition, the article you expanded, Brogden Middle School, does not appear to meet our WP:N guidelines for notability. Specifically, I would encourage you to look into WP:NSCHOOL, the general criteria for which schools qualify for stand-alone articles. That being said, the content would serve as a great addition to the Durham Public Schools page, which itself would benefit from a cleanup overall. I'm inclined to condense and merge this content into that article and restore the prior redirect, specifically one to the Middle Schools (6-8) section, with a specific header for Brogden.

One more note for you is to please remember that Wikipedia is not a soapbox. I bring this up because the section for Performing Arts is written with a tone that seems to deviate from a neutral point of view, and is written with so-called peacock words. Personally I am also inclined to show favoritism towards the arts and humanities, however writing in such a way goes against the encyclopedic tone of the Wikipedia project.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process.
