User talk:Linda Mc Gettrick

Welcome!
Hello, Linda Mc Gettrick, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Drumlease National School, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! NeemNarduni2 (talk) 15:35, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Drumlease National School ‎
Hi, I have added sources and references. I have reduced the information on the page. Will this article still be deleted? What do I need to change to avoid being deleted? Thanks, Linda Linda Mc Gettrick (talk) 16:09, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * User:NeemNarduni2 Might want to help. Also, to help resolve your problem, is your school a primary or secondary school? Dat GuyTalkContribs 16:53, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * The article is still proposed for deletion. You could simply remove that tag to contest the deletion, but then the article would likely be nominated for a deletion discussion, which is very, very likely to result in a decision to delete the article. To be blunt, unless there's some special point of interest (which I don't see here) a five-teacher primary school is unlikely to be notable enough for an encyclopedia article. High school articles tend to be kept, primary school articles tend to be deleted. Huon (talk) 17:00, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

It's a primary school. The history of the school is of keen interest to people in this area. Thanks for your help, Linda Linda Mc Gettrick (talk) 16:45, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I can add little to what Huon wrote above, but would glad to help if substantial WP:Secondary, WP:Reliable sources can be found indicating how it's notable per Wikipedia's General notability guidelines. Thanks, NeemNarduni2 (talk) 16:50, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
