This is done by signing with four  ~  or by pressing or  in the editing interface tool box, located just above the editing window (when editing). Do not sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted, but only when using the article talkpage, yours or another editor's talkpage.

Portola Middle School
Hi. I've removed most of what you added to the Portola Middle School article for the following reasons;


 * Firstly; you need to write neutrally in Wikipedia. You cannot add your own observations and opinions.  Phrases like "may be one of the best in the state" is voicing an opinion, even when phrased weaselly.
 * Secondly; you need to cite things. Claims like "Dr.Boucher's students have placed at the top in many national contests." are worthless without a source to verify it.
 * Thirdly; things should be notable. The fact that the school self-publishes writing by the students is not really notable.  Many schools do this.  It is not evidence that "The school's honors writing program has been so successful".
 * Lastly; you should read Wikipedia's guidelines on conflict of interest. It is best to avoid writing about things you are directly involved in, as it can be hard to be completely objective.

Please don't let this put you off editing Wikipedia. If you think you can be objective, perhaps you might try again? -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 19:55, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Portola Middle School
Hi! Please don't think that I am disrespecting you or your writing, but the guidelines for school articles states clearly " Articles on US elementary and middle schools should normally be merged into the school district article or the appropriate locality article if this is not available." Generally, that means that middle schools just don't get their own article. The only exception would be if the school (not someone who attended there) has an independent claim to notability beyond the mere fact of its existence. The best example of that would probably be if the building was on the National Register of Historic Places. Please keep up the good work. Perhaps you could add your info on the track star to her high school's article? Gtwfan52 (talk) 06:35, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
