[edit] Improper use of Wikipedia, Notice to Contributors

There is a substantial amount of of personal opinion and unverifiable fact on this page. If this was meant to be a "school project", anyone contributing needs to very clearly understand that this is an encyclopedia, and not a playground, or anything else other than an encyclopedia.

If the educator who prescribed this "assignment" is reading this page, you should find out more on Wikipedia in education before continuing, and teach your students that contributions made here can be seen by hundreds of millions of people around the globe. Further, they need to understand the severity of their actions, and be accountable for their edits/contributions.

[edit] Wikipedia policies

In addition, this article does not follow several Wikipedia policies, which are outlined below:

  • Verifiability - You must backup your information with sources (more info)
    • Citation - You must correctly reference anything you get from your sources (more info)
  • Neutral Point of View - You must contribute with no bias and neutrally portray the subject (more info)
  • Contributions must be "free" - Wikipedia's content is licensed under a free copyright license (more info)
  • Share, not take credit - This is a collaberative effort. Do not add self credit to your edits- they are logged on history.

[edit] Important Notice: future contributors of this article

Your contributions are very welcome on this and other articles, providing if they follow our rules. Please consider taking a look at some of our documentation, including: the five pillars, how to write a great article and our FAQ. However, please refrain contributing from any edits that deviate from the realm of generally accepted policy on Wikipedia. Thanks, Chris Saribay 06:59, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Self attribution in edits

Ian Schwarz, would you please STOP putting your name in? Chamberlian 00:31, March 18, 2006 UTC

Whats the matter, you don't like Ian's name? Themuffin 17:30, March 20, 2006 UTC

I dislike vandalism. That is all that I am saying. Chamberlian 23:39, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] School Respect

Have some respect for the school. Have some pride, honestly, what are you thinking? 72.43.48.145 20:58, March 20, 2006 UTC

This is a school project to show the pros/cons of Wikipedia...do not be discourged by this school becasue of the vandalism on the site!! Please un-block this page so that we can finish the project! thank you Patrickcdiamond 21:40, March 20, 2006 UTC


[edit] What the article could use

The article could use major cleanup, including:

  • a description of the faculty (the number of PhD vs Masters vs total number, male/female)
  • description of the student body (total, class breakdown, gender breakdown)
  • class descriptions, including the fact that Latin is offered
  • college placement information
  • SAT information again if linked to http://www.cheverus.org/info/AboutCheverus.asp
  • Notable alumni (eg Ian Crocker)

I'll work on it as I have time, but that's a general idea of where the article should move towards --Matt 08:59, 1 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] What Happened?

What happened to the paragraph about the sex scandal? It was factual, concise, and well cited. It was removed without explanation.

This isn't the way we do things on wikipedia. Barring vandalism, edits are discussed in a civilized manner without degenerating into "edit wars."

I'm putting the section back. 69.207.233.236 01:33, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

This isn't a coverup, so please remain civil/assume good faith. I accidentally reverted back one revision too late - I thought to myself "I need to undo the sex abuse removal" but only ended up doing something that was basically a no op. I meant to revert back to the version before the scandal was removed. --Matt 01:38, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. Sorry about my initial tone. 69.207.233.236 01:28, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Not a problem. I'll make sure to watch it isn't removed. Cheers --Matt 01:40, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cheverus-Seal.gif

Image:Cheverus-Seal.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
