Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Kennet School, have removed content without a good reason to do so. Content on Wikipedia should not be removed just because you disagree with it or because you think it's wrong, unless the claim is not verifiable. Instead, you should consider expanding the article with noteworthy and verifiable information of your own, citing reliable sources when you do so. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia

 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

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 one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * 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; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

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 my talk page. 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).

Hello, I'm SovalValtos. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Kennet School, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. SovalValtos (talk) 13:20, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Kennet School, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. SovalValtos (talk) 13:31, 22 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi, the reliable source is the school website and press releases which you'll find on the news section, as well as the Twitter feed. Please can you also advise who is responsible for updating the logo, as the logo shown is incorrect? Thank you WikiPEditor1997 (talk) 13:39, 22 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for replying. I suggest that before you do any further editing you read the links in the welcome message above which should help you understand sourcing and citations and such things as signing on talk pages with ~ . Do you have any connection with the school? How did you find out about the logo? No individual editor is responsible for changing the logo. Best wishes.SovalValtos (talk) 15:02, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for coming back to me. I'm a parent and the school uniform has just been updated. Compare it to the school website: https://www.kennetschool.co.uk/app/os#!website/home
 * How do I go about updating the logo?
 * Thank you in advance WikiPEditor1997 (talk) 15:11, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * (Willondon here) A good general starting point is WikiProject Schools/Article advice. Specific advice to things you mentioned: "school articles should also specifically not include: excessive amounts of detail about the school uniform or dress code, unless it has seen significant coverage in multiple third-party sources. However, the uniform may still be mentioned briefly without this level of coverage, particularly if it is unusual." As for the logo, I'm not well-versed in the intracies there, but the school article advice page has some instructions in the section "Do include".
 * A general note about sourcing: sources verify not just facts, but notability. The school website is considered a primary source, which is sometimes reliable for facts, but rarely for notability. If the school's web site says "our cafeteria serves a variety of vegetarian dishes", it's vulnerable to deletion as promotional cruft from the school. If a secondary source (e.g. magazine, newspaper) comments on the fact, then notability is established. Primary sources like the school are generally accepted for things like current headmaster, enrollment, budget, etc., as they are considered noteworthy, even if they don't get covered in secondary sources. Hope that helps.  signed, Willondon (talk)  15:43, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
