Hello, I'm Riverbend21. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Steve Rizzo seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

 * And while we’re about it, I suspect your Project Alpha edit to Monmouth School for Boys is vandalism, so have reverted it. KJP1 (talk) 17:59, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Why is this an act of vandalism? Thetedanator (talk) 19:27, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Because it’s bollocks. And I’ve removed your latest addition. Would need a cite and an article. KJP1 (talk) 20:57, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Listen bozo, it's not "bollocks". I know more about this school than you do and the page was super out of date anyway. Thetedanator (talk) 23:57, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Okay, you’re new here, so let me try and explain a few things: Hope this is helpful and that you enjoy your time on here. If you make sure your edits are Verifiable by Citing Reliable Sources, you are much less likely to be reverted. KJP1 (talk) 06:25, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
 * It doesn’t matter how much you “know” about an article topic, when you add something to an article, it needs to be verifiable. You do this by adding citations to reliable sources.
 * So, when you write that “under the new project alpha the school will become a single-sex school in the coming years”, you need to add a cite that shows that. You won’t be able to do this because it isn’t true, which is why I called it vandalism and reverted it.
 * Before you add an entry to the Alumni section, you need to make sure the person you’re adding is notable, and cite a reliable source to show this. You didn’t for Edward Swartz which is why I removed it.
 * You’re quite right that articles frequently need updating, which is why I left your House updates in. They’re not controversial, and I’m willing to make a good faith assumption that they are accurate.
 * As to which of us “knows” more about this school, I’ve no idea, and neither have you. But it doesn’t actually matter, for the reasons I’ve outlined above.
