Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Edward Snowden may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Schools

Hi Jakeable, and a belated welcome to Wikipedia! I've been the main coordinator of WP:WPSCH for several years and I just wanted to stop by and thank your for your recent work on school articles. If you haven't done so already, do read through the entire project, especially WP:WPSCH/AG, and what we usually do with elementary and middle schools that are not notable. If you need any help with anything, don't hesitate to post a message at WT:WPSCH or ask me directly on my talk page. Happy editing! Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:39, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi, and welcome!

Hi, Jakeable! Welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for your work on schools. I would encourage you , as did Kudpung กุดผึ้ง above, to stop by the school project and take a look around, and possibly consider joining. I am writing to you now specifically about you nomination for deletion of Divernon High School. Predictably, it was closed as a keep. One of the core pillars of Wikipedia is that it besides being an encyclopedia, it is also a gazetteer. Pursuant to that, things that are considered "features on the landscape", such as roads (withing some limitations. See U.S.Road project), geographic features, settlements (towns, villages, cities, ghost towns) and schools (but only high schools) are considered to be automatically notable. All you have to do is prove that they exist or existed to show notability. For high schools, the existence of a website for the school is considered sufficient. Thanks again for all your help on schools. It is an area of Wikipedia that requires a lot of vigilance, due to students at the schools vandalizing or inserting unencyclopedic content.
