Hi! I worked a bit on your recent article on Liberty High School. I saw that you attempted to put in the normal messages such as stub language and a link to a diambiguation page, but were having trouble with the markup we use. It's not actually html, as your edit log talked about, it's a markup used for wikis. For instance the stub tag I placed on the article is not written out, but found by going to a stub sorting page and choosing a template (WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types)--all I had to do was find this template: put it on the page and the full text of the stub message appeared. Below is a welcome message for you (done in a similar way-- ) which has links to help you understand how wiki markup is done. You might find the tutorial especially useful. I find, though, that often the easiest way to learn how to make a good article is to look at an established article on your topic--find an established high school article, click edit and look at how things are listed and ordered with the codes visible, then use that knowledge to improve your article.
