Stroman High School
Hi, Karkadann! My name is Gtwfan52]. I am writing you to let you know that I reverted a bunch of stuff you did on the above named article, and to tell you why.  First, sorry I had to do that, but all the different types of articles on Wikipedia have standards for their appearance and content.  You will find the ones for school articles at [[WP:WPSCH/AG.  One of the things that the school project doesn't want to see is listings of individual accomplishments by students.  I think the reason is to discourage editing just to put in your sister's/daughter's brother's son's name in the encyclopedia and also to make the articles more readable.  Please read the guideline I linked for you and please continue to work with us as an editor here on Wikipedia.  We need you.  If I can be of any help, please contact me on my talk page.

 * Hi! I understand you feeling emotion over your alma mater, and I am really sorry my actions have affected you so.  The notable people list was edited because the references provided did not link the individuals to the school. I did look for ones that did and didn't find any.  If you can find a reference that does that, feel free to put them back.  The general rule of thumb is that a person should have a Wikipedia article on them before you put them in that kind of list.  The teachers names were removed because you don't mention faculty unless they are notable on their own.  Like there is a high school in Colorado where one of the English teachers is a Sci-fi author.  That individual has independent notability and hence can be included in the article on the high school.
 * Individual accomplishments are just not appropriate for high school articles, per WP:WPSCH/AG. As a user edited encyclopedia, Wikipedia has a very difficult time keeping a uniform style and guidelines like the one I have mentioned are a way of trying to do that.  If you look at, say, World Book encyclopedia, every article on similar subjects looks more or less the same, just with different facts.  That makes for a much more readable reference, and hence much more useful.  When you add to Wikipedia, you have to keep in mind that you are writing for a World-wide audience, not just for people who may be interested in Stroman High School.  You might want to add some detail as to how the school ceased to be
 * One last thing. When you communicate on a talk page like we are doing here, you sign your entry by typing four tildes ( ~ ).  That will automatically add your username and a timestamp.  Gtwfan52 (talk) 17:44, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
