Talk:Baldwin High School (Georgia)

Academics?

It's interesting to note that the football and band programs are emphasized while nothing is mentioned about the quality of the teaching at this school. There's a reason for this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.11.164.213 (talk) 16:37, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Fluff?

Someone at the IP address 99.169.250.133 removed large portions of the football and band sections of this article without posting any warning or beginning any debate on this talk page. It seems to me that the user deleted the text only because he considered the information "fluff" and therefore unworthy of being in the article. My standpoint is this: No one is getting hurt by anything in this article, so why not have as much information as possible? The text removed was not biased; it was a description of the past seasons of the band and football team. Perhaps the older seasons, 2000-2005 or so, should be compiled into one shorter section, but the information should not simply be deleted without warning. Leave the information here for the people who want it. If you don't want it, you don't have to read it. Simple as that. Mellophonius (talk) 23:46, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I disagree. The editor provided a valid reason for the deletion. Your contention that "there's no such thing as too much information" is equally valid. But when looking at the project's standards and conventional norms, this article was unreasonably long for its subject matter. Breaking down football and band seasons of a local high school team, is unreasonable, and much of the information contained therein was trivial. Many policies and guidelines of this project are in place to deal with trivial information such as drum majors, or season records. If you believe notable information was deleted, then merge that information into the body of the article or subsections. Additionally, the contention that "if you don't want it, you don't have to read it" is ludacris, it is with cooperation and working together on many articles that the project benefits. Leaving something that is trivial just because its a subject matter you don't like, is not a good way to better the project. SpartanSWAT10 (talk) 07:03, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm all for consolidating the information into shorter segments. My main problem was that it was simply removed without any discussion. More recent information is relevant, even if it only boils down to saying that both the band and the football team have been having more successful seasons than in previous years. And whether or not information is trivial, I think, is a point of view. I don't consider it trivial; I consider it valuable information, as would anyone else looking for it. While my personal preference would be to have as much information as possible, I'm willing to consolidate the older information into shorter segments. And as far as trying to "better the project" - well, some would contend that that, too, is a point of view. Mellophonius (talk) 15:08, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

2010 Football

Hello everyone; I am just letting you know that once the 2010 season is complete, it will be revised into a shorter summary, to go along with the summaries of past seasons. For the time being, however, I think it wouldn't hurt to continue adding info game-by-game. Don't worry, the article will not reach the state of disarray it had before it was revised a few months ago; I will make sure of that. The same goes for the 2010 band season. Thanks!
