Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Netherzone (talk) 20:31, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Adding non-notable alumni to Anna van Rijn College
Hello, I'm Netherzone. We welcome your interest in and contributions to the encyclopedia, however please do not add non-notable people to lists of notable alumni as you did at Anna van Rijn College. People included in notable people lists must be notable per Wikipedia standards and criteria, not just by what the school itself says. Please read WP:WTAF before reinstating the information or adding additional non-notable people to articles. Thank you, if you have any questions, please consider asking at the WP:TEAHOUSE, or taking an editing tutorial. I'll send a welcome message in my next note which will appear above this message. Thanks again. Netherzone (talk) 20:31, 30 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Can locally famous people, who don't necessarily have a wiki page count as notable alumni from these school? One of the people is a local municipal chairman from this school and i wanted to highlight that. MousseK (talk) 20:38, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
 * They need to have a Wikipedia Article written about them first, per WP:WTAF. Netherzone (talk) 20:41, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
 * BTW, Facebook and other social media, as well as non-independent or user-submitted sites are not considered reliable sources on Wikipedia. We are an encyclopedia. These types of additions belong on social media, rather than here. Please see WP:RSP for more information about sourcing. There is a lot to learn, and it takes a while; it took me a couple years to learn the guidelines and policies, and I'm still learning after 10 years!. Please consider learning more about how WP works, and don't hesitate to ask questions. And please do consider taking the tutorial. Cheers, Netherzone (talk) 20:40, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Here is a link to more detailed information about Notability: WP:N that may be helpful for you. Netherzone (talk) 20:44, 30 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Locally notable people are fine to write an article about, as long as there are enough references in reliable sources WP:RS to support their notability - references (also called citations or sources) need to be verifiable WP:V, independent sources WP:IS that show significant coverage WP:SIGCOV over a period of time.
