Original research and synthesis

[edit]

Most of your recent edits to Katherine Delmar Burke School are not suitable for the encyclopedia because of original research, especially synthesis. From Wikipedia:No original research: "This includes any analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to reach or imply a conclusion not stated by the sources. To demonstrate that you are not adding original research, you must be able to cite reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article, and directly support the material being presented." The subsection Synthesis of published material deals more specifically with combining information from different sources to reach or imply conclusions that are not present in the original sources.

The edits at Katherine Delmar Burke School must include information that is specifically about Katherine Delmar Burke School. It's no good to reference an ex-staff member, combined with statements they made not referring specifically to the school. And it's no good to source material that is about other schools that (through synthesis and original research) are claimed to be like the school the article is about. Or to refer to statements made by a legal firm that represents the school, but which were not about the school.

When I advise about editing Wikipedia, I view success as having your edits "stick". If edits are quickly or eventually reverted or pared down to a stub, they have failed on that count, and are useful only as food for reflection on why they weren't durable. It seems to me your sources include material dealing with a much broader topic, and would be more suitable to improving articles on bullying in general, or bullying by students, or by teachers, or bullying culture in elite schools. In sum, most of the work you are doing at the KDBS article cannot be specifically associated with it, and will not last in that article.

Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Katherine Delmar Burke School. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. The additions you have a unencyclopedic tone regardless of the primary source issue. Having the primary sources does not make commentary on random salaries or a job listing ok. Please find a reliable source or stop adding the content in question.

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. SpinningCeres 22:59, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
