- I will indeed. Just need to track them down. Lostangus (talk) 20:10, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- That's a canned template. You also directly contradicted sourced content, and added unsourced material that would not belong in this article even if it were properly sourced (i.e., it's irrelevant what a former staff member did after her employment there). Meters (talk) 20:18, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, show me where I contradicted content? Lostangus (talk) 20:38, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- Are you talking about length of time? I can attest that the material cited saying up to 23 months is incorrect. I was there 25 months and friends were there 28 months. Lostangus (talk) 20:41, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- Additionally, I was there until almost 20 years old. So the citation stating that they only allow students up to 18 years old is false. Lostangus (talk) 20:43, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- Well I'll hunker down and try again with correct and accurate citations, but those citations will contradict the citations already present from Petersons's guidebook because those are patently false, as printed by Peterson's. Lostangus (talk) 20:51, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- I accept that what a staff member does after their tenure is possibly irrelevant, with a caveat for extreme context.
- Please advise on how to find a proper citation when one does not yet exist, short of writing a book or a publishing a journal article myself. Re: Peterson's incorrect data. Lostangus (talk) 21:01, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- Wikipedia content must be verifiable to material published by reliable sources. See WP:V. Personal knowledge claimed by Wikipedia editors is not acceptable. We cite sources that say that students were up to 18 years old, and stayed for up to 23 months. We don't know that you actually were a student there, or that you stayed as long as you claim, or that you were as old as you claim. For that matter, if you were there, maybe the school didn't know how old you were, or made a special exception in your case. Meters (talk) 01:38, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- Interesting. Makes sense in the larger scope. I'll let that one marinate. In the meantime, I guess I better publish a journal article. 67.158.169.53 (talk) 01:54, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- Please read WP:SELFPUB and WP:COI. Meters (talk) 01:59, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
