[edit] NJROTC

I'd like to post a quick query on here: should Troy's NJROTC get its own article or be made as a section of Troy High School (California)? I have seen a couple other JROTC articles created separately from the high school page, so I'm not quite sure as to what to do. Right now, I'm leaning towards making it a section based on WP:N... Any comments? Or is there a different policy for paramilitary programs that I'm unaware of? Thanks. -- Havocrazy 05:32, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Keeping it as part of Troy High School (California) would probably save a such-titled article from a speedy deletion. I'm not very sure on how far you can take "notability." Then again, many high school pages like these are just lists of achievements and programs. I'm having trouble locating such individual JROTC articles separate from their high school's pages. Can you name a few? And I doubt there is a different policy for paramilitary programs to this extent. If there is, then all pages would be individual or embedded. Then again, it could be worth a mention due to the visit to Nationals that happened in the 11-something month hiatus. MechStan (talk) 00:36, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Update

PSST should not cannibalize the Troy High page with their history of board members. That is purely unethical. It is against Wikipedia policy to post information about an article topic of which you are affiliated. Should PSST want to post such, I suggest they start their own article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.86.33.3 (talk) 16:36, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

The whole issue with Azia Kim probably warrants a mention in the page. [1] [2] [3] Maybe in the notable alumni section? Jumping cheese Cont@ct 04:14, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

There was a lot of press coverage surrounding the matter at that time, but mention of the issue in mainstream media is becoming extremely rare a few months after the initial "hype". I don't think the subject demonstrates long-term notability... +A.0u 23:27, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Year of Founding

I was amused to see my edit reverted with the blithe and incorrect assertion that "1967 is the correct year" rather than 1964; if you would like to see some photos of my 1989 yearbook that says "25 years and it's worth it," I can supply them. Or perhaps you might like to take a look at http://troyhigh.com/alumni.htm, which notes that the Class of 1967 is having a reunion... how exactly can a school have a CLASS OF 1967 if it didn't even OPEN until 1967? 24.68.138.157 05:56, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Troy Tech Magnet Program Format

Is there anyway to make the prerequisite table not stretch that far (thus adding a horizontal scrollbar to the bottom of the page)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gloomfilter (talk • contribs)

I have re-formatted the section with the correct syntax. +A.0u 23:42, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Troylogo.PNG

Image:Troylogo.PNG 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.
