  Hello, I'm Adolphus79. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Clearwater High School, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - Adolphus79 (talk) 19:34, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your advice on how to proceed. Best wishes, Alan [nalassob] Nalassob (talk) 18:53, 17 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I will let it stay, but I believe your yearbook barely passes as verifiable, only because it is online. But someone else might come along wanting more of a third party independent source, what would be even better is if there are any newspaper, magazine, or book interviews or articles (widely published independent sources) that say you went to school there, to confirm/verify that the "Alan Boss" in the photo is in fact the "Alan Boss" that the article is written about (not just some guy who shared a name?). I would also suggest that you add a line on your article with that better source (or at least the yearbook) about going there with a wikilink back to the school's article. I hope you understand my concerns, think of it as "any future reader (a year, 10 years, 100 years?) can quickly click a link to verify (from a reliable source) that any information on Wikipedia is correct". You also need to consider adding a WP:COI notice on your user page and Talk:Alan Boss just to cover your bases. Please feel free to leave a message here or on my talk page if you need any further help. - Adolphus79 (talk) 19:39, 17 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
