Talk:Chaska High School

message: I have taken out much of the non-encyclopedic text from the article.  It is really not necessary for Wikipedia to document the location of the restrooms and all the classrooms in the school, and every musical that has ever been performed by the drama club.  I've left what I felt was useful information for an encylopedia.  ... discospinster talk 01:47, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a guide to schools.  Just because something might be "useful", it doesn't necessarily need to be included.  See especially the policies "Wikipedia is not a directory" and "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information".  ... discospinster talk 13:55, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

text: I agree, Googler it looks as if you have a history with vandalism and shotty contributions, maybe you should read  up on the wikipedia guidelines? Thanks for the help dark, I like to see my alma-mater page in half decent shape even if I'm too incompetent to do so myself.

So I had some "vandalism". Technically it wasn't vandalism since it was credible; but whatever the case, these admins flip a tit whenever something new comes on. This site has helped many, and should stay up. I just don't see how it hurts anybody to have some information, because no matter the amount of information, it can never be enough. Why don't you leave it up to me and my peers to decide what should and shouldn't be put on the Chaska High School website, seeing how we go there.tHe GoOgLeR 20:59, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

text: If you want to document every little thing that's ever happened at your school, you can create your own webpage at Geocities or My Space.  Or start a blog.  Then you and your peers can create a resource that will be helpful to anyone interested in Chaska High School.  ... discospinster talk 21:14, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Did you look at the article before the ongoing cleanup, it was terrible. At least now it's using the same template as other schools. If you would elaborate on what was legitimate and removed during the cleanup, I for one would appreciate it. If you are referring to the removal of the links to the parody Chanhassen high school website and the content expressing the general disapproval of the administration by the student body, you must understand that both are only fads that come and go with time. They are by no means encyclopedic and therefore do not belong in Wikipedia. I fully stand with discospinster on this one. - Mtekk 01:21, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I put up most of the 'citation needed' notices as well as the 'additional citations needed' banner several months ago. Since essentially nothing has changed since then, I'll bring it up here. I know that most of the information in this article is indeed accurate through personal experience, but just because it's true does not mean that it can go unverified. Please take a look here to see why I put these in, and here to learn more about Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If this information cannot be backed up through some means other than anecdote, they need to be removed. Given that removing all of the unverified information would remove something like 80% of this page, I really don't want to do that. 
Things like the school's opening, expansion, student body, sport's championships, etc. shouldn't be too terrible to support. Other things like the brand of computers available in the libraries and media centers might be considered irrelevant. Swanare (talk) 02:30, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

text: Sorry I didn't see this until now - I didn't think to check the talk page. I've put in some of the unsourced information (specifically in the extracurriculars section), and yes, you are right in that I know it to be true, but have no way of proving it. The problem here is that there are very few (pretty much none) sources for this info that pass Wikipedia's reliability tests, as most of the sources I can find are other Wikis (either Wikipedia or the QuizbowlWiki). I will keep looking for other sources. 73.88.58.38 (talk) 18:57, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I found a recent source to verify the rest of the Academic Teams info, so that section should be polished off citation-wise. 73.88.58.38 (talk) 17:21, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
