Talk:St. Theodore Guerin High School

message: There has been a bit of an edit war going on over this school's football rivalry.  I am sure it is due to the inexperience of the other editor, but just for the record, this is why I keep taking out the paragraph containing "in the lore of this rivalry".  There is nothing in either article you have cited that speaks to the history of the rivalry, and that kind of phrasing might make your English teacher glow, but it is not appropriate style for an encyclopedia.  When writing an encyclopedia article, you want to just stick to the facts.  Save the flowery stuff for creative writing 101. Gtwfan52 (talk) 04:11, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

message: Hi.  I am hoping the two IP editors that keep adding the highly promotional tone and underreferenced copy to the article will come join this discussion.  I have been removing unencyclopedic content from this article for a couple months now and I am getting tired of it.  So, point by point, here is why:
# "The fine arts program has always been a part of the school's curriculum. Mark Duray, was appointed as the Director of Fine Arts in 2004 and he continues to play a key role in greatly enhancing the program."
## We don't use non notable faculty names in US high school articles (except the principal).  The rest of that sentence really does not impart any useful information. per WP:WPSCHOOLS/AG
#"The Guerin Catholic Golden Voice Choir continues to gain national recognition. In 2007, Golden Voice was selected as the only choral group in the state of Indiana to perform for President George W. Bush at America’s 400th anniversary celebration in Jamestown, Virginia.http://www.guerincatholic.org/about-us/school-history Also, during their April 2010 trip to New York City, Golden Voice received numerous awards at the Festivals of Music competition including the "Esprit de Corps" Award – given to the group displaying the highest character while representing their school, First Place for High School Mixed Choir, and the Overall Winner of the Festival.http://www.guerincatholic.org/fine-arts"
## The actual achievements are referenced only to the school's website.  If I told you I was John Wayne, would that make me John Wayne?  Claims of achievement need reliably sourced, independent referencing.  The copy is not clear at all about what competition the awards were given at, but unless the competition was some sort of national championship, it is not considered encyclopedic under the guidelines. The rest of the paragraph was again what we call weasel words, words that sound impressive but really do not impart any information.  That kind of writing may make your English teacher happy, but it has no place here.
#"Guerin Catholic has a vast number of extra-curricular activities to accommodate the students' interest. There are a plentiful amount of clubs and groups that students can get involved in, ranging from Golden Voice to Ski Club. The dedication of the activities vary; some may meet every day while others may meet less than monthly."
## Again, this is all weasel words.  The stuff about when clubs meet is only of interest to the local school community and hence out of guidelines.
# "...the privilege of... for the members of the Guerin community"
## Weasel words.  Just adding words that say nothing.
And since I started writing this, one of the IP editors has added it again.  So, it is off to WP:RPP I go to ask someone who is not going to WP:3RR to revert it yet again and protect the page so IP's cannot edit it.  Gtwfan52 (talk) 19:10, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
