Welcome
Welcome! Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view - this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a  living person to any Wikipedia page. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced to multiple reliable sources.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. However, please know that editors do not own articles and should respect the work of their fellow contributors. If you create or edit an article, know that others are free to change its content. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

 * Hi, instead of rolling back to "your" version of the article, would you please work with the existing version of the article. Your reversions are removing legitimate citations that are completely uncontroversial. The sections that were removed may or may not merit inclusion. Again, rather than simply reverting, now would be the time to bring up the controversial sections on the article's talk page. I'm going to revert back to the current version one more time. Please try to work with that version of the article. Note that edit warring, nor typing commands in all caps in the edit summary are not the way to win friends and influence people at Wikipedia. You will find other editors more than willing to work with you if you would please just communicate with them. Thanks. Katr67 (talk) 03:22, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I checked your reversion and note that it also reintroduces some inaccuracies, incorrect categorization, and several unnecessary external links. Again, the other sections may or may not merit inclusion, but an experienced editor of school articles determined that they did not. But for a third opinion, you can check with WikiProject Schools if you need more guidance on what should be included in an article about a high school.

 * Also note the article guidelines developed by WikiProject Schools: WikiProject Schools/Article guidelines. That will help you know what is recommended in a school article and what is discouraged.


 * As Katr67 has said, the big issue is removing the citations/references. Please discuss your changes here, or on Talk:Madison High School (Portland, Oregon), NOT in the edit summary. tedder (talk) 03:44, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
