Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Skyline High School. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory or otherwise controversial content into an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Skyline High School (Idaho).

Please note that even with sources, none of the stuff you are adding belongs in a school article. We have no interest in what the school may have to say about itself, and the only way we'd add anything about a sex scandal would be if the school itself were found culpable in it AND that fact had been widely reported (not just locally) over an extended period of time by reliable sources. Nothing in the fact that our motto is "The Encyclopedia anyone can edit" implies you can add whatever you want. Please stop. John from Idegon (talk) 06:02, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

And just for your information, your additions were in such serious violation of policy that not only were they removed from the visible article by both myself and another editor, but both edits were removed from the history of the article by an administrator. You can trust that it will not be allowed to happen again. John from Idegon (talk) 06:15, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

I am a coordinator of WikiProject schools and I see school articles from all over the US and Canada on a very regular basis. Sex scandals are commonplace. Someone tries to add content about them to some school article at least every week. It may be a big deal in town, but in the bigger picture of things, it is in no way informative about a particular school. John from Idegon (talk) 06:22, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
