replies: text: The paragraph on Augustinians can be found duplicated here, Augustinians#History in the New World: North America. It does not belong in this article, which is only about one high school. -Will Beback 22:34, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The history of the Augustinian order is relevant to all institutions Augustinian, but it shouldn't be duplicated in every article. Instead we provide links to related topics. The history of parochial high schools is also relevant as is the history of the surrounding area. We provide links to other articles which touch on those topics. If this were a stand-alone brochure on the school then including informaiton on all of those topics would make sense, but if we included every overlapping topic in every article this encyclopedia would be ten times larger, and 100 times harder to update. -Will Beback 19:20, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

text:  I understand your point - but let me be somewhat injudicious in my international observations. There is a view among non-Americans that it would be a good thing for American institutions to be more inclusive in their self-understanding of the institutions and historical moevements that connect them and genuinely make them part of the larger world. I might (unfairly)  be accused of prejudice on this - but I have been keen with the Australian Augustinian institutions that they don't just feel satisfied with being "Australian" - but they look further and see themselves as part of a unifying world-movement (we are very linked historically (lik America) to the Irish- and now in the 21st century through missions to the Philippines and Koreans). Is a paragraph (one paragraph) really worth chucking out when (in my view) the result  of chucking it might be viewed as a sort of insularity? I am not arguing for every connected issue to be fleshed out in every article - just I think it is important in articles connected to American institutions (in the curent world climate) that Americans are part of "us" and "we" are part of "them" - in a world culture of shared and crucial histories and values. Am really I being to political here? I don't think so. These are historic facts that unite us - and I think they should be included if they mean only a short paragraph.

replies: text: It isn't the job of an encyclopedia to right the world's wrongs. The purpose of this article is provide a comprehensive summary of information about one specific school. It is the purpose of a different article to provide a history of a religious order. Another article covers the city of San Diego. Now we could include all the information in all the articles, but that'd be unwieldy. Instead we link to those other articles. It isn't a political issue, it's a practical matter of how to arrange a reference work. -Will Beback 18:44, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

text:  My argument was not a moral one about righting wrongs (but thanks for the superman suit being offered), but a factual one about the context of a school. I say again, (as you say) a "a comprehensive summary of information about one specific school" - which is Augustinian - should link it to it own (Irish-American) founders (which you don't say) . How about some names and dates to contextualise beyond it own founding date?. I still do not see any good reason why the paragraph was removed. Hyperlink added now.

message: I see no reason why we need to have something here about the Dons' fans chanting "Brokeback" and Saintsmen chanting "Scott Peterson".  It's a worthless reference to a tasteless practice.  It adds nothing to the article.  It would be more useful to write about the huge crowds their games draw.
:I agree. Also, all information should be verifiable by other editors. -Will Beback 22:09, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Welcome to the era of free speech my friends, The Augustinian finally has some competition and you want to delete any mention of it? How sad. If one can be mentioned, the other should follow. The762x51 04:17, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: When was the Maverick started? From your comment above it appears recent.  -Will Beback · † · 03:32, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I go to SAINTS; where can I get a copy of the Maverick.  I've never seen or even heard about it.  If it is a school publication then probably I would have heard about it, but I don't know.  Thanks Tcpekin 04:11, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:NutmegRe.jpg

message: The page Saint Augustine High School redirects to some school in England whose page is not as well maintained as this one. Also, there are many schools bearing this name. They are listed at St. Augustine High School I think that the redirect should point there instead. --75.8.123.131 (talk) 04:29, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
