Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. I see that you added St. Scholastica's Academy (Marikina City, Philippines) to the disambiguation page St. Scholastica Academy. Right now it is a red link, meaing no article exists in Wikipedia by that name. I looked at the school's website and it is clear to me that it a notable school with a very selective admissions policy and it deserves to have an article. However, if you plan to write an article on a school, be warned that there are a number of editors who do not think that schools are "encyclopedic" and are likely to make an immediate attempt to have the article deleted. To avoid that fate, I have several suggestions:


 * Create the article first in your personal space. Do not post it to its proper place until you have added information to show why the school is notable (such as the selective admissions policy and any prominent alumni). If you need assistance creating a "sandbox" for the article, please let me know.


 * Do not cut-and-paste any information from the school's website or any other source. Write the information in your own words.  Copyright violations are not tolerated.


 * Provide at least two sources. A simple Google search yields many sources that mention the school.

Here are a few more good links for newcomers:

 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;, which automatically inserts your name and the current date when you save the edit. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. -- DS1953 talk 03:32, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
