Recent edit to MEF International School Istanbul
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, MEF International School Istanbul, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Welcome
Hello, Lisalovescats and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.

If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text:  on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Ryan (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:29, 20 March 2015 (UTC)


 * I would also like to provide some advice regarding the MEF International School Istanbul. Subjects on Wikipedia should be covered by summarizing what secondary sources say about the subject. The MEF article currently only cites the school website, which is a primary source. This gives the impression of being promotional. Please do your best to ensure anything you state in the article (other than the most basic facts about the school, like number of students and location) is backed up by a reliable secondary source. Otherwise, it's possible the article will be deleted or much of its content removed. If you have questions about what I mean, feel free to ask here. If you are working on this for a class assignment, please also ask your instructor to leave a message here, at my talk page, or at the education noticeboard. Thank you! --Ryan (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:42, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
