Welcome!
Hello, Jhbeery, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page McGehee School, have removed content without an explanation. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly.

Do not removed sourced information without a proper rationale
Hi, Jbeery! I know it's been a little while, but I am reversing removal of content like this. Just because the content reflects the school in the past (not the present) and just because the content may be humiliating or unflattering doesn't mean the content is inaccurate or doesn't belong in the article. The reality is that racial and anti-Semitic prejudice of the first half of the 20th century was indeed a thing. Evans's content is plausible for a private school for white girls in early 20th century New Orleans. Now what I can do is add the year the book was published to make it clear it's historical, not current.

Remember Wikipedia is not your school's public relations department. WhisperToMe (talk) 15:37, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
