[edit] Notability

What is the problem with the article? I have just started it and yes it may be incomplete, but feel free to fix or add to it. Emainiac 07:11, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

I think the prime problem with the article is the fact that this is a non-notable school. The inclusion of these in Wikipedia is, as I understand it, currently under some debate. I personally take the view that they do not deserve inclusion in much the same way that someone's local business does not deserve inclusion. A secondary problem with this article would be its obvious POV bias. To call a setting "relaxed" does not convey the neutrality expected of an encyclopedic article.

Allright. This makes sense. I'm pretty happy with the balance that has been struck with the article now. I would like to see it expanded, but until something major happens, this will do. Emainiac 11:22, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Allright, enough ego petting. Yes, the newspaper is cool, but you have to admit that cutting off the entire end of an article is an error.

[edit] POV Dispute

I'm not sure what's going on with the POV of the article. We obviously have some vandalism and bias issues in the Newspaper section due to the defensiveness of those directly involved with the creation of the paper.

I would like some help controlling the vandalism against this article, considering it's an article about a high school and "holds a special place in the hearts of many" and this can bring up disputed and territory wars. I was wondering if we could close this article to only be editable by registered users or something like that. I'm gonna go fix some issues with the article right now, and we'll see if that resolves any POV issues. Emainiac 22:56, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unnecessary non-encylcopedic additions

The whole section on photography sounded like a pamphlet advertisement with no real factual data or neutrality —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Litehawk (talkcontribs) 01:44, 17 April 2007 (UTC).

Moreover the entire talk of architechture down to its comparison to a small hell is both unfounded and unneccesary. Yes you may go to this school, but that does not give you an excuse to place uncited and poorly written information on here.

The whole article is unnecessary Scott 22:25, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:CT.jpg

Image:CT.jpg 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
