White Ribbon

As has been discussed on the talk pages of Whats new? and Nic.purdon, the material repeatedly added about White Ribbon is unsourced and poorly formatted, and the edits remove sourced information already existing on the page without reason. Multiple reverts of the page risk an edit war. -- Whats new?^(talk) 04:46, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

3O Response: I concur with Whats new?. Nic.purdon, the text that you've added is written from the first person ("our") and reads rather promotionally and conversationally. This makes it inappropriate for inclusion in this article, on the basis of Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. The edit also removed a paragraph that had been sourced to a reliable source. Text on Wikipedia should be referenced using reliable sources, preferably ones that are independent of the subject. (There is a place for primary sources on Wikipedia, but their use is more limited.)

Nic.purdon, if you are affiliated with the school, then you would have what is called a conflict of interest on Wikipedia. My suggestion to you would be to propose changes you would like to see on this talk page, rather than adding them directly to the article. For instance, if there is some fact in the article that is outdated, you can request that it be updated; be sure to add a source to your request so that it can be verified. You can use a {{Requested edit}} template so that other editors will be able to find and assess your request. However, if the text is anything like the text that's currently in the article, it would likely be rejected as being promotional and non-neutral in tone.

school evacuation

Schools get evacuated all the time on the basis of hoax or threatening phone calls. Are we going to fill school articles with every evacuation reported in the media? LibStar (talk) 11:38, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree it happens "all the time" and it is arguably notable when it is coordinated with several other schools and covered in national media -- Whats new?^(talk) 21:16, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
