Talk:Hudson High School (Ohio)

Hudson Board of Education

While details about the Hudson Board of Education immediately relevant to the Roger Howard incident can be placed here, let's put any new information on the page Hudson City School District, Summit County, Ohio. DangApricot 14:50, 14 July 2006 (UTC)DangApricot

Electronics Ban

In 2006-2007, some students collected a petition to remove the digital audio players ban. Would that be relevant to the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Govtagent82 (talk • contribs) 16:57, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Probably only if the ban was actually revoked as a result. Was it? --Mukk 02:23, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Notable alumni

A few things about the alumni section: First, generally the only people that should be included are those who already have a Wikipedia article about them. There are some exceptions to that, of course, but very few. Basically, if they don't have a Wikipedia article, don't include them. Also, two of the names have nothing in their respective articles to indicate they attended Hudson High School at any time or even lived in Hudson. If this can be sourced, please place it here or preferrably in the article about that person. If it is sourced in the article about the person, it does not need an additional source (or the same source) in this article unless it is referencing an additional claim. Please take a look at WP:WPSCH/AG for more info about school articles. Thanks! --JonRidinger (talk) 01:09, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi - unfortunately that person would not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 05:47, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

List of clubs

I removed the long list of clubs as non-notable and not sourced - user has reverted and asked me not to remove it. Bringing to the talk page as discussion.Tacyarg (talk) 22:23, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

I removed it as well. That's a classic case of WP:FANCRUFT to say the least, along with a violation of WP:SCOPE. In the end, these articles are to give readers a thorough, yet general, view of the topic (in this case Hudson High School), not minute details of everything that happens at the school. The list removed is a great example of why lists like that are generally a bad idea since every group at the school feels they should also be listed, and suddenly, you have a list that dominates the article. In a matter of time, the list is outdated as clubs come and go. The solution for concerned editors is to highlight some of the school's most successful clubs and activities, using reliable, third-party sources. A paragraph summarizing the offerings of the school is also appropriate, but not listing every club. --JonRidinger (talk) 22:53, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

I understand guys me not being a registered account, however if a student from the school wants to update the information in case of a change or missing information they should be able to. I’m I right or wrong about that ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.165.180.110 (talk) 03:21, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

I'm glad you are interested in editing and improving the article! Believe it or not, you not having a registered account has nothing to do with the issue here. The issue here is content, not who is adding it. The content was removed because Wikipedia has policies and guidelines about what is generally appropriate for articles. As explained, a long list of every student organization is not appropriate for a number of reasons, regardless of who added the list or even if it can be sourced. You are free to add whatever information you'd like, but other editors are also free to remove it; both sides should use Wikipedia policies and guidelines to guide their additions or removals. Wikipedia works by consensus, but within established guidelines, policies, and precedents. Be sure to read some of those policies (they are the links I used in my previous post, such as WP:FANCRUFT and WP:SCOPE, along with WP:NOT and School Article Guidelines). I, and other editors, are happy to answer questions about content if you have them. --JonRidinger (talk) 05:32, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

Naming individual staff

Generally, individual staff members who do not meet Wikipedia's standard of notability are not named within the article unless there is a very obvious need for context to include their name, such as explaining why a room (like a gym) is named for someone or if the person was otherwise a key figure in the school's history (again, for proper context). Mentioning current or recent staff opens the article to being out of date quicker since staff often changes. In this case, a choir being invited to Carnegie Hall should be mentioned (though it needs a source and a year), but knowing who was director at the time doesn't add anything for a reader. Instead, the section needs to be expanded about what ensembles the school currently has and some other accomplishments, traditions, etc. Also, be sure to read WP:CREDENTIAL as we generally (with very few exceptions) avoid using titles like "Mr." or "Mrs." when mentioning people, even in a formal setting like a teacher. Please use this talk page if you have questions or concerns. -- JonRidinger (talk) 04:34, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

That information was been up there for several years before you came around and decided you needed to change it. You should stop. 47.232.196.192 (talk) 02:30, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

The only one who "should stop" is you from ignoring basic article writing practice and policy. Be sure to read WP:UNCHALLENGED. Info being in an article for a specific amount of time, even a long time, is not reason enough for it to stay perpetually. Many articles, especially ones about high schools, have very few editors who look at them, so it's quite common for inappropriate info to be added and since very few even see it, that info could stay there for years before an experienced editor edits or removes it. --JonRidinger (talk) 14:31, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

It's cute that you consider yourself an "experienced editor." It seems like you're just a dick on a power trip. 47.232.196.192 (talk) 23:16, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Performing arts section

I have taken this out until reliable and independent sources can be found. Looks as if has been unsourced since it was added in 2014. Tacyarg (talk) 01:05, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Reverting addition of this again. Please discuss here before re-adding, unless you are able to cite reliable sources. Tacyarg (talk) 17:12, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
