Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to the Dalriada School page. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Trenwith 16:19, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Concerning your edits to Dalriada School - it appears that you are a student with an axe to grind with a department within the school. I think you have made your point, but if you have a complaint with the Religious Education policy of your school, vandalising an encyclopaedia article is not the place to do it.

However, there are a number of positive ways in which you could contribute to Wikipedia. If you are concerned with the way your school is viewed, you can see that the article has been tagged as needing a serious tidyup. You could work through this in small stages, making it look less like it was copied from a prospectus, while leaving sections such as department heads (RE included!) intact. If this does not interest you then you could find an area that does: there are many articles that would benefit from grammar tidying, adding references and from having a regular user 'watch' them, as I do with the Dalriada article, so nonsense edits can be quickly fixed.

You might find the following articles and advice useful, given to me when I started to edit Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!
