Talk:Cab Calloway School of the Arts

assess

Some references please. Good length, but a lot of lists. This is an enclopedia. Think about who wants to know about all this. Refs is most important. See schools wikiproject for further advice Victuallers 15:25, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Culture

A friend and I, both students at Cab, have been working on the article this afternoon. We threw in a section on nicknames and student culture, based on the decision that they are acceptable on WP because they are part of the culture. If you do not agree, please let me know so we can dialogue and decide what is best for Wikipedia. I have found nothing to dissuade me in WP: NOT, but perhaps your obviously greater familiarity with WP can shed some light on my perceptions? I look forward to hearing from you. -Jim, 11th Grade, Cab Calloway School

Hello Jim. It's nice to meet you, I am a senior at Charter. The reason that that information is not relevant on WP is because, though it is part of Cab culture, it would not be useful to anyone that does not attend your school (or otherwise know your teachers). Think of a real encyclopedia. You would never find info like this in it; the cultural portion of an article should be about how an organization's members relate to members of other organizations. If there is a tradition in Cab theater that somehow carries out into its performances (which are seen be people across Delaware, not just students and parents), then that may be relevant. But the nicknames of a teacher or technical instrument are not. I hope this makes sense to you. I know how frustrating it can be to put a lot of work into writing something only to have it deleted, but I hope that this experience does not turn you off from editing more articles in the future. By the way, if you want to read some school articles that are excellently written, see Stuy, TJHSST or Charter School of Wilmington (only excellent by my opinions, not by consensus). --ʀ6ʍɑʏ89 02:08, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Instead of simply deleting it, why not just paste the 'offending section' onto the talk page? Talk page doesn't have notability criteria like the main article, and besides this particular talk page gets very little traffic, so nobody would complain (about obtrusion or whatever).

The Sentinel

The Sentinel deserves its own sub-section. I know that it was restored with the help of an artist by Cab students, and that it was vandalized last year by Charter students, but I don't know anything else about it. Maybe someone from Cab who knows the history of the statue can start a section in the article about the statue.

While we're at it, the gallery in the lobby would also make for a good addition. AustinZ 03:27, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Detailed information

I think that this article contains a little too much detail, in terms of various lists of names of teachers for instance. Information like that is too detailed for an encyclopedia and requires a lot of updating. I think some of it could be condensed and I'm willing to do so, but I'd like to get some feedback on it from the people that have worked on this article in the past. --JoanneB 10:23, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
