Talk:Gann Academy

message: Students often have uneasy feelings about the school and feel that the Administration is getting stricter and the school more prep-like. Many students say that since transfering to the new campus, the school has lost its "New Jew" feel - a reference to the open (the freedom to leave during the day) urban campus necesitated by the office building space (lacking a cafeteria) as well as the tight community fostered by the akward, small and unique building. An example of this were the student lounges in the Fleet building, which anchored the hallways and were central to social life, compared to them in the new campus which are often seen as uncomfortable and seperate from the daily life of the school. Nevertheless, the school's student body has increased every year since it's opening.

replies: text: What exactly makes it not encyclopedic. Maybe it wasn't written well, but the opinion of transition in the social nature of a school by its students seems to be one of the most important things one could say about it. I've reverted to original. Please clarify your concerns. --FluteyFlakes88 02:36, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is essentially original research, in the sense that is a composition of materials unlocated elsewhere, by that definition. The text of that section was the editing of the section that currently existed so I'm not sure what it's original sources are. The sentiments expressed can be verified in print in the school's paper Shevuon HaTichon. This on top of multiple personal interviews conducted by author. --FluteyFlakes88 03:47, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

text: As far as I'm aware it doesn't exist on the internet. Futhermore, the 'interviews' were not done for the purpose of creating this article but were an experiential aspect of the general zeitgeist of the school. This isn't a case of original research being gathered here, but of largely unknown and irrelevent (relatively) local knowledge being presented for the first time extralocally. --FluteyFlakes88 04:28, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

text: The context of the interviews doesn't matter. "largely unknown and irrelevent (relatively) local knowledge being presented for the first time extralocally" is original research, and Wikipedia is not the place for it.--Wasabe3543 04:44, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've gone through the archives of the paper (tangible) and located it. The first of many published pieces on it is from the September 8th, 2004 issue, titled "Things Have Changed". I see no reason why this publication shouldn't be considered valid source material. --FluteyFlakes88 04:52, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

text: Within the Jewish community of Massachusetts this is public knowledge with many including alumni speaking about this.  The issues of the Fleet bank building vs. the building today has been published in multiple sources.  These articles were printed and were available to all those that took the time to find it.  Just because the school may be good at hiding it doesn't mean that it is not there. --Chalutz 15:55, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Not encyclopedic

message: Moved from article:
'Someone should add something about the sports teams and when they won championships, such as in 2002 when the boys soccer team won an overtime thriller by beating CSW 3-2 in a penalty shootout on the 7th shot with a save by Josh Bock. Regulation goals were scored that day by Uri Nurko and Daniel Packer. The following year, the boys repeated against the Waring School 1-0 with Tomer Radbil scoring the lone goal.' -- 66.31.159.171
I do not know if such detail is necessary, but something about sports should be mentioned.  Not to say that there should only be a few sentences, but the section's concentration shouldn't be basketball, but sports in general.  --Tdmg 14:22, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
