MNorvell, welcome to Wikipedia. The foregoing is a standard warning for editors who try to "own" a page. Here is an elaboration: It is evident that you're trying to act in good faith here, but please read the linked pages. You are not going to get a good reception here if you come with the attitude that the Cascia Hall marketing department gets to decide what the Cascia Hall page is going to look like. As Thingg and Edgehead5150 have already explained, that idea is antithetical to the way Wikipedia works. In fact, if it's the case that you're acting as a representative of the marketing department, your edits will incur extra scrutiny under the Wikipedia conflict of interest policy.

There are lots of editors who will help you get rid of false defamatory posts or other vandalism. As far as specific problems with User 72.213.190.7, you can report them here: Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism (shorthand address WP:AIV).--Arxiloxos (talk) 19:37, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, a specific question: why does your proposed alternative page omit the references to notable alumni and the names of the other Oklahoma Catholic high schools? These are standard elements of most of the high school pages you'll find here, and are useful to readers. I'm planning to put this material back, but if there is some specific inaccuracy please let me know, or even better, post your concerns on the Talk Page so everyone can be apprised of them.--Arxiloxos (talk) 20:03, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
