Encyclopedic content

Your edit to Stokesley School was reverted for a number of reasons. Most importantly, you did not provide a reliable source for the content, or indeed any source at all. Wikipedia requires that all content be verifiable through reliable, independent sources. A contributor's personal knowledge isn't enough. In this case, at a minimum, you would need to provide a citation to, for example, a local newspaper. This leads to the second reason the edit was reverted: the event you described was not notable enough to be covered in an encyclopedia entry. School "controversies" that aren't so remarkable as to be reported on by an outside newspaper (not the school newspaper) are definitely not notable enough for Wikipedia. Since this was your first edit, you would probably benefit from [1] to learn more about Wikipedia's standards and procedures. Best of luck - Julietdeltalima (talk) 23:43, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
