 The Adventure

October 2018
Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:North Point School for Boys, from its old location at User:Vperks/sandbox/North Point School for Boys. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Sam Sailor 22:04, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

Ways to improve North Point School for Boys
Thanks for creating North Point School for Boys.

A New Page Patroller SkyGazer 512 just tagged the page as having some issues to fix, and wrote this note for you:

"Thank you for creating this new article. There are two main issues with it currently. The first is that a lot of the material in the page is unsourced. Per WP:V, all material should be supported by a source if possible. For example, the Program elements section and the Student life section have no sources. Per Wikipedia's policies, original research isn't allowed. The main other issue is that the page reads like an advertisement. Articles should be written from a neutral point of view, and many of the sentences in the article don't seem to follow that. Good luck with improving the article in the future and let me know if you have any questions!"

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can reply over here and ping me. Or, for broader editing help, you can talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 15:26, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

North Point School for Boys moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, North Point School for Boys, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your page to draft space (with a prefix of  before the article title) where you can work on it with minimal disruption. When you feel that it meets our notability and neutrality requirements, and is thus ready for mainspace, please submit it using the Articles for Creation template on the page.

 * As you'll have seen, some content has been removed from that page because it was unduly similar to pages of the website of the school – what we call copyright violation. It seems that you may have some connection to the school; if so, you should declare it. Please also note that our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation." An editor who contributes as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact. Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:36, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I see that you've been busily editing the draft, but have not troubled to reply to my question immediately above. I'll ask it in a more direct way: What is the nature of your connection to North Point School for Boys?
 * Please note that our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation." An editor who contributes as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact. If you are receiving, or expect to receive, monetary or other benefits or considerations from editing Wikipedia as a representative of an organization (as an employee or contractor; as an employee or contractor of a firm hired by that organization for public-relations purposes; as owner, officer or other stakeholder; or by having some other form of close financial relationship with a topic you wish to write about), then you must disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: . If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please say so, here on this page. Otherwise, please make the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you have answered this message. Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:41, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

Sorry for not answering your question directly. I am VERY NEW to working in Wikipedia. The system is not very intuitive on how to TALK with all these different users who make changes to the article we have been working on. I have no idea how to add something to talk to you within my user page. Very confusing.

I work for North Point School as the Marketing Director. I am not paid for any work I do directly related to the wikipedia article. As part of my work to have the school exposed to a broader audience, I simply wanted to have the article on Wikipedia, same as do many of the other private schools. We are in our 4th year of operation and as such media references to our school are limited. Please be patient as we try to learn how to provide a valuable objective Wikipedia about our school. We welcome the feedback on how to make the article more suitable to this platform.

Thank you.


 * Right, that's more or less what I had imagined; thank you for stating it clearly. You'll need to add a paid editor disclosure to your user-page (see above for how to do that) and either the same or some other form of disclosure to the talk-page of the draft. Wikipedia is not the place to try to publicise your business; if media references are limited, it almost certainly means that school is not notable by our standards, which for companies and organisations are quite strict.
