Welcome!

Hello, Chen1649, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Thanks for uploading File:Football state champs.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Football state champs.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Football state champs.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

February 2020

Hello, I'm John from Idegon. An edit that you recently made to St. Bernard's High School (Eureka, California) seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want to practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. I hope this isn't the article for your class, because if it is, you've got a lot of things to learn prior to continuing. Nothing whatsoever that you have added serve any encyclopedic purpose. This isn't creative writing, I doubt you'll be graded by word count, and don't frankly care what your class goals are. Your changes will improve the encyclopedia for its intended audience (Hint: it's not people already associated with the school) or they'll be reverted. You'll find content guidelines at WP:SCH/AG. Please keep in mind the various portions of the pillar policy WP:NOT. Most importantly, paraphrase your content from reliable secondary sources, don't add anything you "know", and cite your sources. Thanks. John from Idegon (talk) 22:46, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

Copying your article text over

@Chen1649: You moved your article back and forth a number of times so the were multiple copies of the article in Wikipedia and a bunch of redirects left behind as well. I've tried to clean things up. For reference:

• This is your sandbox article: User:Chen1649/St. Bernard's High school (Eureka, California)
• This is the live article: St. Bernard's High School (Eureka, California)

In all cases, capitalization matters! I know it seems pretty crazy!

Please follow Salt's instructions for copying the article text over from your sandbox. I also made this video of the process that I sent out in Canvas announcements that we were hoping you would watch and follow. In either case, do not use the move button. The problem is that you moved your article to the mainspace so there were two articles on the high school with the same name but a different capitalization! It was pretty confusing even for me. There should only be one live article now so if you copy stuff over, it should work. —mako๛ 00:05, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Ignore my last message & please don't keep copying over text!

@Chen1649: I've looked a little more closely at the article history for St. Bernard's High School (Eureka, California) and see that you did copy the text over but that John from Idegon reverted your changes. Aha! You should definitely not make the changes again until you have an opportunity to discuss this with other Wikipedians.

I know that you are trying to contribute in good faith but I also agree with John that there are some problems with some of what you've contributed in terms of Wikipedia's policies and standards and what is appropriate for an encyclopedia article about a school. I think that some of your changes are pretty unproblematic but by batching them together instead of breaking them up into small changes as we advised, the whole thing was undone. I see that John from Idegon is also a Teahouse host. Perhaps he would be willing to work with you to improve your contribution? You should contact him to ask! —mako๛ 00:16, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
