Hello, I'm John from Idegon. Your recent edit to the page Sartell High School appears to have added incorrect information, so I have removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 16:43, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi JP. There are several stats we use on school articles, enrollment being just one. Minnesota DOE doesn't provide all of them. The existing reference to NCES does, and it is out of date. Please update from it. Also note that dates for school stats should be expressed as a school year, eg 2015-16. There are several stats that need updating, and they are all at NCES. Thanks.

 * When you update the stats, please change the access date in the existing reference. For your future reference, I'll leave you instructions on how to add references below. They need to accessable to the reader, so they don't go in the edit summary. I'll also leave you some information on how Wikipedia works and a link to a place where you can ask questions. Thanks for joining the ranks of Wikipedians! John from Idegon (talk) 15:36, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

Adding references can be easy
Hello! Here's how to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain the Wikipedia policy of verifiability.

Adding well formatted references is actually quite easy:
 * 1) While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "Cite". Click on it.
 * 2) Then click on "Templates".
 * 3) Choose the most appropriate template and fill in as many details as you can. This will add a well formatted reference that is helpful in case the web URL (or "website link") becomes inactive in the future.
 * 4) Click on Preview when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
 * 5) Click on Insert to insert the reference into your editing window content.
 * 6) Click on Show preview to Preview all your editing changes.
 * Before clicking on Save page, check that a References header  ==References==  is near the end of the article.
 * And check that    is directly underneath that header.
 * 7.Click on Save page. ...and you've just added a complete reference to a Wikipedia article.

You can read more about this on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv.

Hope this helps, --John from Idegon (talk) 15:36, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
