[edit] Wesleyan Christian Academy edit

You wrote a comment in the page that says that "Hannah Keifer" needs to have a source tying her to the school. I am the source...but I don't know how to quote myself. I went there and so did she, and I know her personally. Any help would be appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Makbrandon (talk • contribs) 21:43, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

• There's an old joke that goes "Q: How do you get down from an elephant? A. You don't. You get down from a duck." Wikipedia requires that sources be independent, reliable and verifiable. You can't quote yourself. If you look at some of the other notables listed in this article, once can see the types of sources available. Hannah Kiefer (note the correct spelling, "i" before e") is the type of person who often has press that goes something like "Hannah Kiefer, a graduate of Wesleyan Christian, ..." that would establish a connection to the school. Once you find a source, be sure to add it to the article, and I will be more than happy to assist in putting it in the correct format. Thanks for the question.
