Welcome!

Hello! I noticed your contributions to Jean-Robert Bellande and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. You are welcome to edit anonymously; however, creating an account is free and has several benefits (for example, the ability to create pages, upload media and edit without one's IP address being visible to the public).

Your edit to Madison-Ridgeland Academy has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. ⸺(Random)staplers 06:14, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Madison-Ridgeland Academy, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. ⸺(Random)staplers 06:45, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The citations are either dead links, provide no support to conjecture content, or unreliable sources such as student course work. 50.86.79.138 (talk) 06:53, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Student thesis, and news articles (to a certain degree) are valid sources on Wikipedia, so long as they have a track record of being factual (to a certain extent), and not being contradictory. Reliability does not depend on the source's POV or inexperience, because, well, we're all anonymous editors here. ⸺(Random)staplers 06:56, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Did I say student 'thesis' instead of theses? Wow, I'm bad at copyediting...
In any case, you will get a feel for what sources are acceptable on Wikipedia after you've edited on Wikipedia for a while. Just remember never to copy-paste from any source, got it?⸺(Random)staplers 07:03, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stop removing references

You removed a newspaper source from The Greenwood Commonwealth from the year 1970. Just think for a moment.

It's probably only going to be available in microfilm format. Go to your local library and verify the source before you keep removing references.⸺(Random)staplers 07:09, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have the article, which I found from a single

source online, behind a paywall. It’s very short, & has no mention of a lawsuit, or of anything illegal. State law mandated loaning of textbooks to all students in public or private schools since 1942. This entire entry is completely misrepresented & furthermore, irrelevant to this school’s history or merits. 50.86.79.138 (talk) 08:02, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a link? The Greenwood Commonwealth is not behind a paywall. If you're referring to a database, you still should have a link. https://www.gwcommonwealth.com/ ⸺(Random)staplers 17:02, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
