Your edit to Denbigh School
I accidentally published my reversion of your edit before writing a proper edit summary. Thank you for your WP:good faith edit to Denbigh School, which with regret I had to revert for these reasons:
- The school's own website is not a great reference for itself. Not terrible but not great. See WP:SELFSOURCE for long explanation. Plus it is already given in the article.
- The more serious problem was your citation of https://en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/1873042. This is a copy of Wikipedia, so is not a WP:reliable source. For the formal policy statement, see WP:CIRCULAR; for the amusing version, see Citogenesis.
