Why is the name of the student body president being taken out of this? The position is integral to the school. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.6.169.115 (talk • contribs) 23:36, 18 May 2006.

The main reason is because he's not the entire school's student body president (for K-12), which is what the article is about (not just the Upper School). Rob.daemon 03:47, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] For Vandal on Quest Against Harker

Whoever is changing the article, please stop. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a place for defamation or repeated vandalism. Yes, we practise NPOV. No, NPOV does not mean who criticise an institution for its "overall dourness." Adding false information does not help either. Really. It doesn't. Please drop it. Thank you. - Jjjsixsix (talk)/(contribs) 00:43, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Suggestion. Shut the **** up.

Be quiet, no one is vandalising an article. The person who is doing this is submitting his own personal opinions about the institution. If you have a problem with it, keep changing it or whine to a moderator. No one is going to stop doing this, so if it means that much to you, you can keep changing it, Jjjsixsix. Deal with it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.109.241.211 (talk • contribs) 05:11, 17 January 2006.

Right. Personal opinions belong in an encyclopaedia? Don't think so. -- Jjjsixsix (talk)/(contribs) 17:43, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clubs

Is this subsection going to be a simple list of all clubs at Harker? That's fairly easily obtainable, and I can do that. However, that doesn't really add much to the article. Wixteria 04:22, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Ideally there should not be just a list of clubs without content (see WP:LIST), a paragraph or so describing significant/notable clubs should be written. The Stuyvesant High School article is a good example of how clubs should be handled. Also see WP:SCH. Zedla 04:53, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Regarding clubs-

No, it isn't. That's just a partial list of all the clubs at the upper school. I say partial. There are 50 or more clubs, and every once in a while, one is created or dies out. There are also 20 or so clubs at the middle school. I don't think there are any at the lower school, but I haven't been there in such a long time that they might have changed that.

There are, but not many, and unimportant. Ansh666 (talk) 02:53, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:HarkerSchoolLogo.gif

Image:HarkerSchoolLogo.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 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.BetacommandBot 23:56, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Names

Are specific names of teachers and students okay?

Ansh666 (talk) 06:36, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

It is publicly available for anyone to see, so why not. [1] Roflcopter666 (talk) 03:51, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
