Article editing

Just wondering: how is it possible 4 another user to edit what I wrote at the top of the page if only the page creater can do that? Mattie604 (talk) 02:41, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Your question belonged on a talk page, so I moved it here. The beauty of Wikipedia is that ANYONE and EVERYONE can edit an article, not just the person who created the page. The initial stub that you created has been greatly expanded and renamed, which makes it likely that the article won't be deleted. There is consensus that almost all high schools should have a Wikipedia article but that most elementary / middle schools should not. There was a claim of notability made in the initial article you created for Gray Charter School, and that has been significantly expanded. Feel free to contact me with any questions on my talk page.

Dance Moms & BLP policy

Hi, Mattie604. The text that you have added to the article Dance Moms for the cast violates the Wikipedia policy on biographies of living people. (Please note the comment on the talk page that I made when I removed that content.) Although it is a television show, the people who are involved are not fictional and therefore descriptions and details about them must be referenced and cited to independent reliable sources. This is a strict policy. We can add information to individual episode synopses sourced directly to the televised episode, but not interpretive information about the cast -- which must be sourced only to qualified independent websites, newspaper reviews, etc. No original research or personal commentary from Wikipedia editors is permitted. Therefore, it is necessary to cite the information you have added or it must be removed. If you have questions about this, please feel free to ask. Cheers. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 00:00, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
