re: edits to List of New Trier High School alumni
Greetings Nealedelstein!

First, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here. The welcome banner above contains links to policies and help that may make your

Second, I reverted the edit that you made to this article, and wanted to explain why.

The Wikischools Project deals with articles related to high schools. Per consensus generated by editors, in order for an alum to be listed for a high school, two criteria must be met:

1. The person in question must either be the subject of an article on Wikipedia, or must be eligible for an article on Wikipedia. This is to satisfy the general notabiliy policy.

2. Per the policy requiring verifibaility, there must be a reference from a reliable source.

While it appears that this person might meet the policy of notability, there was no reference from a reliable source to confirm that he was an alum. To make matters more difficult, your username implies that there may be a conflict of interest, which makes it more imperative that proper sourcing and referencing accompany this person.

If you can find a reliable source confirming that this person is an alum, please re-add him in the appropriate place. Copyable templates for citations can be found here.
