That's OK.

Is the other user who gave me the warnings being notified of his mistake?

[edit] Burford County Combined School - Apology

Please ignore all the warnings and notices above (which I have now removed). What happened was that another editor, trying to improve your article, assumed that there must be a "Burford County" which the school served; I knew there was no such place, could not find any reference to the Marlow Bottom school with the word "county" in its name, found that the web link www.burfordschool.com you gave was dead, and decided the whole thing was a hoax. Unfortunately people do all too often put in hoax articles cut and pasted from different sources. I should have looked more carefully at the history. I have withdrawn the AfD nomination.

However the article still has a problem: its present wording is a direct quote from the school website and so it is liable to deletion as a copyright violation - see WP:COPYVIO and links from there. You need to rewrite the words so that they are not a direct quote. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 22:57, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
