Your GA nomination of Pomfret School

The article Pomfret School you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some changes or clarifications that need to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Pomfret School for things which need to be addressed. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 19:39, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your thoughtful, kind, and professional approach to the GA review. I strongly encourage you to renominate the article in the future. I think if you were to delete the lists of alumni, faculty, fellows, and guests, then the article would pass a GA review, but I understand that you have put a lot of hard work into those sections. As I mentioned in the review, on a personal level, I agree the material from Pomfret's website is likely accurate. However, Wikipedia has had serious problems in the past with individuals and organizations that create Wikipedia articles based on self-aggrandizing self-published materials. Wikipedia policies therefore reflect broad prophylactic protections against the use of self-published material. Unfortunately, that means that well-intentioned authors, like you, are constrained by these policies when building the encyclopedia. In any event, I applaud your efforts to create this article and I hope that you continue to contribute to the encyclopedia in other respect in the future! Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 20:43, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
