Welcome to Wikipedia: check out the Teahouse![edit]

Teahouse logo
Hello! Williamvb99, you are invited to the Teahouse, a forum on Wikipedia for new editors to ask questions about editing Wikipedia, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us! John from Idegon (talk) 20:12, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Please see Template:infobox school for instructions on what you are doing. Also please use the preview button to check your edits before saving. I'll be glad to add the infobox if you like. Templates can be kinda tough for newcomers. John from Idegon (talk) 20:18, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Also, your article will need at least one independent source to show its existence. Might I suggest getting enrollment statistics from NCES? The reference you have on the article now does not have enough information for a reader to verify it, and it isn't independent. I'm one of the coordinators of the school project and I'll be glad to help you. Just leave me a note on my talk page. Welcome to Wikipedia.

Adding references can be easy[edit]

Just follow the steps 1, 2 and 3 as shown and fill in the details

Hello! Here's how to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain the Wikipedia policy of verifiability.

Adding well formatted references is actually quite easy:

  1. While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "Cite". Click on it.
  2. Then click on "Templates".
  3. Choose the most appropriate template and fill in as many details as you can. This will add a well formatted reference that is helpful in case the web URL (or "website link") becomes inactive in the future.
  4. Click on Preview when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
  5. Click on Insert to insert the reference into your editing window content.
  6. Click on Show preview to Preview all your editing changes.
  • Before clicking on Save page, check that a References header   ==References==   is near the end of the article.
  • And check that   {{Reflist}}    is directly underneath that header.
7.  Click on Save page. ...and you've just added a complete reference to a Wikipedia article.

You can read more about this on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv.
Hope this helps, --John from Idegon (talk) 21:34, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

February 2017[edit]

Information icon Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Central Valley Christian High School, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 21:54, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
