Your proposed edits
Hi. I saw the statement on your user page and would like to strongly caution you against intentionally inserting inaccurate information or vandalism into live Wikipedia articles, even if it's just temporary and for teaching purposes. Please see Teachers can be vandals too for some examples of how this did not go well for other teachers who tried something similar in the past. I think there are much better ways to explain to students that Wikipedia is written by volunteers and may not necessarily be a stable source of information. Thanks, DanCherek (talk) 01:37, 20 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I don't want the above to come across as harsh, by the way, just a friendly note. Thanks for all you do and for using Wikipedia in your lessons with students. DanCherek (talk) 01:38, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, ofcourse. Thank you so much. I think this was the sort of response I was looking for by putting that in my Bio. It is worth noting though that I'm intending to demonstrate wikipedia's reliability, that it's useful in understanding the connections between things, and that it's a useful summary to learn about a topic. At the Middle School level it's a perfectly fine source, and at the high school level it's a great source to begin your research. I aim to have my class create or add to a page about our school. If there are folks connected to any project like that I would love to know! I just don't know the culture of wikipedia yet. 104.219.98.50 (talk) 15:18, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
