What NOT to include in this article (and what TO include)

Greeting editors!

Before adding or re-adding any content to this article, allow me to make some big suggestions based on some past experience I have had:

1. Go visit Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools to get a feel for what Wikipedia is looking for in articles about schools. There are a great many things that you can research and include, but there are many things that you may passionately feel are important, and simply don't belong in an encyclopedia article. Remember, this is not your school's homepage ... it is an encyclopedia article about your school.

2. Specifically check out: What not to include. This section outlines things that, even if you think they are important, will likely get deleted eventually, and would likely not hold up if the article gets sent to arbitration. Among the things not to include are events of short term importance like who caught a winning touchdown, how far the team made it in the basketball playoffs (unless it was like a top 4 finish or something like that), the names of coaches or teachers (unless they are otherwise notable), this year's spring musical, the theme for homecoming, etc, etc. These are all either unencyclopedic, or are matters of short term interest. They may be of interest to alumni, but remember: this article is NOT being written for alumni, it is being written for anyone who might read it.

3. Consider having this article assessed by either the folks at WikiProject Schools. they can be reached by the big links at the top of this Talk Page. People associated with the project will assess the article, and will give suggestions for improvement. This may help more specifically guide editors as to what needs to be added and what needs to be removed.

Best of luck! LonelyBeacon 06:38, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
