Fair use rationale for Image:GlassboroHSg.jpg

Image:GlassboroHSg.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.

boosterism and puffery

The lede does not need to explain that New Jersey is in America. The quotes in the footnote are redundant and add no significant information. I propose cutting both, and did, but was reverted. There is a lot more to do here in terms of boosterism and puff. We need sources for "school's two cafeterias were, in effect, segregated until 1974." Monique Stowman-Burke is not significant enough for encyclo-coverage. The athletics sections is a laundry list, and should be reduced by at least half. There is a lot of work to do here. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 13:01, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

There is a broad consensus on listing country in the lead section, as there are people outside of the United States who may be unfamiliar. Quotes in references are widely used across Wikipedia, notably in featured articles. Wikipedia:Avoid academic boosterism provides multiple examples of boosterism, none of which are found in the article, not have you in any case provided examples of what constitutes boosterism. Yes, the details regarding segregated cafeterias needs sourcing. Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools has provided guidelines and the clear consensus is that the one person who should be listed is the principal. Wikipedia:Avoid data-hoarding is an interesting piece, but it's an essay and has no relevance here. Other than the segregated cafeteria issue, it looks like our work here is done.

boosterism and WP:UNDUE puff

stating that New Jerses is in the USA: could you prove the wide consensus, please.

Athletics: A laundry list of random matches and awards. Please reduce substantially, focussing on which teams the school has. Anything beyong that is boosterism and undue. "where the two losses included a 55–35 loss to Pennsville" ... this is really not significant for an enyclopedia, but more for a school scrapbook.

Marching band section is too slim to merit its own section. Relocate the meager content and delete heading.

Mock trial. Same as marching band.

Monique Stowman-Burke and her administration team: this is not relevant for an encyclo

Notable alumni: lots of boosterism in the text after the names. Readers who want more info can just click on the proper articles.

Since no improvements (or suggestions) were forthcoming, I made some changes. Melchior2006 (talk) 08:59, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

I have tried to discuss with you on your talk page and elsewhere to indicate that you have never indicated how "Boosterism" applies here or what part of the WP:BOOSTERISM essay has any relevance here. The details you removed about being among the first schools to be air conditioned are directly from a source and the descriptions of notables are neutral wording taken directly from their articles. The details you removed are largely changes to references, including arbitrary changes to the citation format that violate WP:CITEVAR.

Again, as with all articles, your persistent use of the Wikipedia:Avoid academic boosterism essay as a justification to delete content while being unwilling to explain how it applies makes it impossible to have any meaningful discussion here or at any other article. Using your made-up word "deboostered" to mean deleting anything in the article you don't like, doesn't help. Alansohn (talk) 12:58, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
