Talk:Lake Braddock Secondary School

message: Should Principal Dave Thomas be listed as an alum? He graduated in 1986, and in the early 1990s he came back as a teacher, became an administrator, and is now principal.

message: I think we should shy away from including the Kory incident in the article, and I feel we should remove the link to the video. 72.66.125.52 (talk) 02:27, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I was none too comfortable with this either.  It should at least be reworded from "national media attention" to something a little less sympathetic towards him (and the video should probably be removed too).  Flami/khlkkkngSilmaril (talk) 14:52, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Yes... it was notable then.  But can you find a single mention of it in the past few days?  No?  Well then there ya go. FCPS admin?  Far from it.  Queerbubbles | Leave me Some Love 13:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Since there is special mention of the musical accomplishments, shouldn't Mirabal's accomplishments be noted as well?  The drama program is an award winning one... Queerbubbles | Leave me Some Love 17:05, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Why isn't it mentioned?  Well, because nobody's added it yet.  If you want to, go ahead.  If you see something that should be added, by all means go for it.  You seem to know more about this than I do, certainly. FlamingSilmaril (talk) 21:01, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Added... feel free to throw in anything that I left out or sounds awkward.  The page needs some reorganizing, though. Queerbubbles | Leave me Some Love 11:34, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  LBTheater

message: It seems as though all mentions of awards and accomplishments were removed from the article over time... which I dont believe is appropriate.  Using Plano Senior High School (an FA) as an example, you see that the awards for the various programs are stated.  They shouldnt read as a laundry list, sure, but we can figure out a way to work it so that it doesnt sound like bragging.  I dont see any reason why these acomplishments shouldn't be in the article.  Other pages get to show off their shinies... and so should LB.  <fonkl;/t/ color="Indigo">Queerbubbles</font> | Leave me Some Love 13:56, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Basically, the problem isn't whether the information is present, it's how it is presented.  For something a littler closer to home, look at the page for Westfield, which lists all the specific state sports championships that they've earned, with a year and sport for each.  A vague statement like "the Orch/kg back a long way.  Basically, this page should not read like the "About Us" section of a school's website - it should read like an encyclopedia article.  I hope this clears some stuff up; if it doesn't, feel free to ask. FlamingSilmaril (talk) 14:11, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The alumni s,/n,./ection is a bit disorganized -- would it be useful to order them by date of graduation perhaps? Also, a few alumni have /?n.k;/been added without graduation years. This seems like sort of a basic element of an alumni description element? Scratchsamples (talk) 05:07, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

message: The football section sounds more like a newspaper than an encyclopedia. I am wondering whether this is meant to be how it is written or if it needs to be edited. BWludXM4 (talk) 11:16, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Football 

message: Is it possible to mention the very recent incident where a student had threatened to bring a gun to school? The principal, Mrs. Kearns, sent an email out to parents about the matter and that a fake gun was brought to school. To add to this, rumors said that a shooting was to happen on Friday (3/17/2023), however no shooting occurred. I can confirm this because I attend school there, however I would like to remain anonymous. Argh thedude! (talk) 19:16, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: Clearly not, Argh thedude! 1) it would not be published by a Reliable source, we need sources that readers can check up on in future years2) that is not an Independent source - Furthermore, rumors are considered rather trivial - Arjayay (talk) 21:52, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
