Please do not add or change content, as you did at West Valley School District (Spokane, Washington), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 11:42, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did on West Valley School District (Spokane, Washington). This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. John from Idegon (talk) 03:05, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry you don't understand how Wikipedia works, but what you are doing isn't it. Go to the article's talk page and attempt to gain a consensus for your change. I'm at a loss as to how the subject itself has its address wrong. John from Idegon (talk) 03:18, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I had a source, and it was worded completely correctly. “Spokane”, separate from the City of Spokane, is also a generic word used to describe nearby unincorporated Spokane County. The area in question is part of 2 different cities and unincorporated county; primarily City of Spokane Valley which incorporated in 2003 well after the school district's formation, City of Millwood, as well as unincorporated Spokane County. None of those are City of Spokane or would constitute linking to the City of Spokane page, and a rational personal would realize that none of the addresses involved are in City of Spokane either. If you’re insisting to use the generic term of Spokane for a location not inside City of Spokane limits, the intelligent thing for you to have suggested would have been a recommendation to link to Spokane County’s page using the generic name Spokane. Please refrain from resorting to snide messages in the future if you don't have a great education on the topic. --509Freedom (talk) 04:40, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The things you broke

Hi, I reverted your edit because you broke a few things on the page, not because I disagree on the city in which 8301 E Buckeye Avenue is located. The things you broke are:

You made a disallowed DISPLAYTITLE modification, this creates an error message in the system. Also, there is only one West Valley High School located in Spokane County, while there are multiple in Washington, so "(Spokane, Washington)" is a sufficient disambiguation and there no need to rename the article.
Template:Schools in Spokane Valley, Washington doesn't exist, your edit created a red link where a navigation template was intended. The template links to West Valley High School, so it is applicable. The template might be wrong in some way, but in any case what you did is not the way to fix that.
Category:Education in Spokane Valley, Washington doesn't exist, we don't categorize by non-existing categories. I suggest to use Category:Education in Spokane County, Washington instead.

Thank you for the clarification on that, i'll watch for creating broken hyperlink categories in the future. @Bdijkstra:--509Freedom (talk) 04:37, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
