Hello, I'm Meters. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Xavier High School (New York City), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The fact that a claim has been unsourced since 2012 is not an invitation to update the info and reset the unsourced tag date. I've removed the claim. Please source it to a reliable source before you restore it. Meters (talk) 19:08, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Xavier High School (New York City), 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. Please don't remove former students from the list because they did not graduate. For Wikipedia purposes an alumnus is anyone who attended, even if only for one day. Bobby Flay is notable, he attended the school, and his attendance is sourced. Do not remove him from the list of alumni. Meters (talk) 19:20, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Your recent edit to Xavier High School (New York City) appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Mike Fernandez. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Meters (talk) 04:36, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Xavier High School (New York City). The cited source for attendance is the standard NCES reference used for most American schools. It always runs a bit behind the current year, and currently shows the 2015-2016 school year. Do not change the attendance to a different number unless you provide a more recent, reliable source. Do not change the "attendance as of" field unless you provide a more recent, reliable source. You changed both values but left the existing reference. This is not the first time you have done this to this article. Stop doing it. Meters (talk) 20:52, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
