Almost everything that this article has in it is copied word for word from this website [1]. Therefore, the person or anyone who has information about this school, should re-word the article a little bit. Fiver2552 06:05, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

I am reviving this version of the talk page because it voices an active concern that has not been rectified in over two months. I attend the school that this article covers, and will gladly re-write the article when I have a moment this weekend. Hopefully my version will be able to stand the vandalism that has been occuring to this article all day (other students have been modifying the page, adding themselves to the Famous Alumni section along with disturbing or obnoxious descriptions as their crowning achievement.

Just noticed that Answers is linking to Wikipedia for the article...however, the article is still rather poorly written (in my opinion) and could use some verification and improvement. Limp Trizkit 04:15, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Would Evan Jager count as a famous alumnus, it being that he's an elite distance runner?

Yes, Evan Jager would count as a famous alumnus, since he has already graduated. So, if you want, add him to the appropriate section. Fiver2552 20:39, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Cool, yeah I see that now; some people would consider including very recent grads who still have to "prove themselves on the next level" to violate schoolcruft but he deserves the recognition.

How is this group ABiCA considered to be famous? Anybody in some type of band with a myspace page is considered famous?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:JacobsGoldenEaglesLogo.jpeg

Image:JacobsGoldenEaglesLogo.jpeg 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 ensure 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.
