Hi Amdrag568!

Yes, I did read your edit before I reverted it.

1. You should read wikipedia's policy on verifiability and policy on reliable sources. Any information that can be challenged requires legitimate, third party, neutral sources to back it up. The school paper would not be considered "third party", but the Sun Times, the Tribune, etc would be.

2. Even if you have these sources, the fact that a student brought a gun is just not encyclopedic. You can also readwikipedia's policy on short term news stories. Wikipedia is not a school homepage, and it is not for news items of short term importance. This is not a major news story, and sadly is not an uncommon occurrence, even if it is for your school (and given what I know about Niles West, that is not a common event.

In short, I made that deletion in accordance with the policies of the encyclopedia.

I wish you the best of luck on your continued editing. Have a great evening! LonelyBeacon (talk) 03:21, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
