Talk:C. W. Jefferys Collegiate Institute

message: The article is not even about the school, its about the shooting incident which took place there. The incident is obviously more notable, therefore I will personally change this to a 'shooting article'. Blackjays1 01:37, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Separate school and shooting article

message: I find this entry to be subjective and grossly unfair to the school.  
The entry should be the school information: what the school specializes in and its history and background.  The shooting should be a separate informational page pertaining to the particulars of the shooting.  
The fact that the originator of this entry has seen fit to admit that instead of making this a more objective entry, has "gotten lazy" and decided to leave it alone makes the case for this page to be an unfair entry. This rather cavalier attitude can only make one believe that the originator has accomplished his/her goal and no longer has any interest in fairness or being objective.
The title that directs you is "C.W. Jefferys Collegiate Institute" and the total information about the school is relegated to a single paragraph, yet the remainder of the page is dedicated to the shooting of the student and alleged sexual assault and various other problems.  There is no mention of it's well known arts program; it's excellent physical education program or other notable accomplishments.
The content of the page seems to actually be an attempt to smear and degrade the school.  I refer to my earlier comment about the title, which is misleading.  Surely this school deserves to be represented fairly and without bias.  
I submit that this entry be corrected in such a way to inform visitors to Wikipedia about the school curriculum, background and other information and that the shooting be made as an ancillary entry perhaps as "Recent Problems" or "Shooting and other complaints".  
The way this page is set up, with its title and then the questionable content should not be allowed. If the shooting is part of a broader "school shootings" list then it should reflect that in the title.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Buskieboy (talk • contribs) 07:16, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to clarify things, I am not "the originator of this entry". I moved this article to 'C. W. Jefferys Collegiate Institute shooting', because about 90% of the article is about the shooting incident and not the school. Many users who were watching this page (not long after the 'Jordan Manners' and 'shooting' articles were deleted) didn't agree with me moving the article. One user even sent me a message, on my talk page, begging me to change it back to 'C. W. Jefferys Collegiate Institute'. Eventually I did that, but I wasn't sure if it would have been better to split the article. If I split it, then the article about the school would have been a stub, and the sub-article about the shooting would have been way longer than the school article.

text: I'm not insulting people's motives, the article is mostly made up of negative events that happened at the school (there's also the section on alleged sexual abuse), and that means the information is not presented in a neutral manner. It makes the school out to be dangerous, when it's the safest in the area. I'd love to add information about the school itself, but I just don't know enough about it, nor do I have the time right now to look up information. The shooting doesn't require a split, because there's not enough info for an article of encyclopedic content. Wikipedia is not news. The POV tag is meant to alert readers that information is not presented in a neutral manner. It does not necessarily mean that someone is pushing a POV. --Pwnage8 (talk) 05:16, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You may not have insulted motives (I had corrected my post to reflect that) but User:Buskieboy did. No one is "disputing" that there needs to be additional information on the school itself for balance, therefore the "dispute" tag is not the appropriate tag. I've added a tag requesting expansion of that section and deleted the sexual assault section. I referred toWP:NPOVD which says..."Simply being of the opinion that a page is not neutral is not sufficient to justify the addition of the tag. Tags should be added as a last resort."

thread_title:  This entry is VERY subjective and opinionated. 

message: I will suggest some improvements – add more information about the school, such as extra-curricular activites. Once there is enough information about the school added, then make a single paragraph about the shooting incident. Also, try merging that paragraph about the sexual abuse into a paragraph about the new report which exposes the lack of safety in TDSB schools. (Also see  .) Once all of this is done, then copy-and-paste the entire 'shooting' section into it's own article. I also suggest splitting this article by using Columbine High School and Columbine High School massacre
as a reference. Blackjays1 (talk) 14:35, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed my mind on the split. I think that's what should be done. We should just have two sections under "Incidents", with a main article summary for the one on the shooting. --Pwnage8 (talk) 00:13, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Suggestions for improvement

message: Paul Godfrey did not attend CW Jefferys. It was founded in 1965, the year after Godfrey was elected and when he was 26.  More likely he went to Bathurst Heights.  Paul Axelrod however graduated in 1968.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by JLubek (talk • contribs) 19:26, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  not Paul Godfrey - how about Paul Axelrod  

message: It's been a long time since the shooting and there is no reference to it on this page at all. While this article is about the school, the shooting was perhaps what this school is most famous for. It was also quite a notable event in Toronto history. 
I don't believe there is a page about the shooting or the victim anymore. Would this page be the place to add in information?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.10.141.106 (talk) 02:26, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
