Why has everything on this page been deleted?

Unsourced content

Unsourced content, especially regarding living persons, must not be added or reverted back into this article. Please give a source, whether primary or secondary, when adding content. When it's about a living person, reliable secondary (third-party) sources are preferred. Cheers! JFHJr (㊟) 04:00, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please put content back up on page so that I can provide sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.102.99.238 (talk) 04:05, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, that's not how it works. You can see an old version of the page by clicking on "View History." You can view old versions individually by clicking on the date link, and even use them to edit further versions. For example, you can open the version you'd like to view in another window. You can either edit the old version in the new window, or return to the first window and choose "Edit." In this case, I recommend copying and pasting over individual passages from the new window into the first window to add selectively, adding cites as you restore the content. If you edit the old version to cite it, you should delete unsourced material before you click "Save page." JFHJr (㊟) 04:11, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help. I hope I provided enough. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.102.99.238 (talk) 04:32, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent progress. I'm glad to see much of the content could be cited. For the record, I don't doubt at all that most, if not all, of what was here was true, but WP:V is what we're working toward. I've removed IMDB and blog sources, since they're basically not acceptable, especially about living persons. See also WP:RS for more info. Great job so far though! Thank you for improving this article after it has been tagged for so long! JFHJr (㊟) 04:41, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And I apologize if I'm throwing alphabet soup at you, but WP:SPS is a helpful guide for when it's alright for a subject (like this school) to use its own publications as references. Thanks again, and happy editing! JFHJr (㊟) 04:42, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed

There seem to have been two completely erroneous revisions made to this article recently by user 24.47.119.129 that should be reverted immediately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zziccardi (talk • contribs) 18:32, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done. In the future, you are welcome to make corrections to articles yourself, no need to request and wait for someone else to do so. DMacks (talk) 19:58, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
