Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Western Michigan Christian High School, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 13:19, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

I've also reverted your addition to Grand Haven, Michigan. Wikipedia is written for the entire world. Your addition did not provide sufficient context that a reader would be able to understand what you are trying to communicate. What sport do the "Bucs" play? Are they amateur or pro? What league do they play in? Also, you cannot add things you know here. Everything must come from published sources, which should be cited.

Editing Wikipedia is fun, and since the stuff you add has to come from published sources, you learn a lot too. However, it isn't easy. I'd suggest you take some time to learn how it all works. WP:The Wikipedia Adventure is a good place to start. There is a Q&A forum just for new users. I'll leave you a link for it. I'll also leave you a rather intimidating list of information. Use it as a reference but don't worry about absorbing it all. Hope you decide to continue editing. Most editors are willing to help, if you ask. I started editing here to correct some information about a semi famous person I knew and ended up falling into a rabbit hole of facination with it all. It's fun. Hope to see you around!

Thank you for registering! We hope that you find collaborative editing enjoyable. Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia that started in 2001, is free for all to use and edit within the guidelines and principles users have established and adhere to. Many of these principles and guidelines are listed below. Click on the link next to the images for more information. REMEMBER - each policy and guideline page has a discussion you can join to ask questions, add input and contribute your voice towards any current policy or guideline change underway! Join the discussion by going to the talk page of the article. Please take a minute to view a number of quick start pages for an overview of how to work within these guidelines and more information to help you better understand the practices and procedures editors are using. These include: The Newcomers Manual and User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia. Sometimes new editors become frustrated quickly and find their experience on Wikipedia less than enjoyable. This need not be. If you are having a difficult time for any reason, please feel free to ask me for assistance! Or, better yet, visit The Teahouse where veteran editors are waiting to assist you.

This is being posted on your talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss issues and respond to questions. At the end of each message you will see a signature left by the editor posting. This is done by signing with four tildes (~~~~) or by pressing or in the editing interface toolbox, located just above the editing window (when editing). You won't need to sign your contributions to articles themselves; you only need to when using talk pages. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance.
