Edit summary
What exactly does "he added me so I added him" mean in your edit summary at the Pacifica High School (Garden Grove, California) article mean? And where is a reference that he graduated from Pacifica in order to verify he should be on? As far as I can find he grew up in Long Beach and lives in Irvine. There's no indication of ever living in West Garden Grove. Please provide sourcing when adding new names. Thank you. IrishLass (talk) 14:11, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I just created an account and didnt know the guidelines. KD and I went to high school together.  I suppose the source would be the 1976 Pacifica High School Yearbook, but I dont have a copy, because I graduated in 1975.  No wait! His picture is in the 1975 yearbook, so I can prove he was a junior, but not that he graduated.


 * No problem. In all actuality because you went to high school together you can actually not add him at any time.  This constitutes original research which is not allowed.  I was more curious about the comment of "he added me", is he also an editor here?  Complete edit summaries, and comments on the article talk page, often help editors understand why an edit is made and helps others learn.  If you need any help, I am more than willing to offer my assistance.  Thank you IrishLass (talk) 20:19, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Apparently KD is an editor of Wikipedia. I dont know his account name or IP address. I notice that the yearbooks of Pacifica High School are cited as sources on the PHS page. Are these valid sources? If so, I can cite them and not be "original"? I suppose the school has the copies if a scholar wanted to verify, but its pretty deep research. Thank you for your time BTW.
 * They are cited sources because they are not from years I attended and they are in the public library. I had my SIL in California go to the West Garden Grove library and since there are connections beyond the yearbook on the two they are referenced for, they are valid.  Terry K and Norm J are known grads.  Thanks for asking though. IrishLass (talk) 21:21, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
