George Washington Community High School

I removed the Facebook link from George Washington Community High School because those links don't work for everybody. Also, in general it is consider a conflict of interest to add information about yourself to an article. Material added to Wikipedia must also pass notability guidelines, so unless you pass those guidelines, you should not add entries about yourself. Cheers.

Hi, Rick

Hi, Rick. Please do not add yourself to the article. That is considered a no-no usually at Wikipedia. We don't want your first experience at Wikipedia to be unpleasant from getting your additions reverted. But it helps to familerize yourself with some of the policies and guidelines that can be found by reading some of the introductory material posted above. Cheers. If you have any questions I can try to answer them. Jason Quinn (talk) 22:42, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File:1927 GEORGE WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL.jpg

Could you explain the source of the image File:1927 GEORGE WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL.jpg? You have it listed as free software which is inappropriate. The image does not have enough information on Wikipedia Commons and may get deleted. There's a good chance the image is public domain because of its age however.

Actually, now that I've looked into it, the work is not public domain under US copyright law. It takes at least 95 years. It must be deleted. Jason Quinn (talk) 22:52, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
