re: Edits to York Community High School

Greetings Labrigadier!

First, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy volunteering here.

I reverted the edit that you made to this article, and wanted to explain why.

In order for an alum to be listed in a school article, the person must either be the subject of an article on the English Wikipedia, or must be eligible for such an article (see WP:WPSCHOOLS/AL and WP:WPSCHOOLS/AG#WNTI). Only one of the alum you restored meets these criteria further outlied at WP:BIO and WP:N. Alumni are also required to be referenced by a reliable source which confirms that the person attended the school. The reference that was provided did not confirm that he attended the school. If you can find a reliable source that confirms that he attended the school, please re-add him with the citation.

Best of luck! LonelyBeacon (talk) 04:55, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
