re: edits to York Community High School
Hiya Taylords!

I just reverted your paragraph that you added to the article, and wanted to explain why.

First, parts of what you wrote were copied verbatim violating Wikipedia's policy on plagiarism.

Second, nowhere in the article does it claim that York had won any national titles (aside from the one or two Nike Challenges). You were arguing against a stance that appears nowhere in the article, and comes across as a rant. Further, since the article only supported York not winning some national titles, but you were asserting they were claiming said titles, it can also come across as original research, which is not permitted in any articles.

If this is a concern for you, I would suggest patrolling the article. If anyone attempts to add something in contradiction to published reliable sources, you should tag it and challenge it. If another editor cannot find a source to support their claim, then the material should be removed.

I am including a standard welcome mat for you, as there are some links to important Wikipedia policies regarding editing. I wish you the best of luck in your editing. LonelyBeacon (talk) 04:22, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * BTW ... it is also unusual to boldface material in an article as you did. In the future, you may wish to avoid that. LonelyBeacon (talk) 04:23, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
