Talk:Sherman Oaks Center for Enriched Studies

message: There seems to be some confusion concerning whether the school is considered part of Reseda or Tarzana.  As far as I know, it was considered part of Reseda up until last year, when it was changed to Tarzana.  Am I wrong? Trumpetboy8282 05:26, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reseda or Tarzana? 

message: According to the school website, the address says that it is in Tarzana. Before this, it was Reseda. So I think that we should go with Tarzana, because that is the correct city it is in. And actually, it wasn't a year ago that it was changed. I remember volunteering in the Main Office and all the envelopes said Tarzana, CA on them. This was back in 2003, so it's been a while now.

message: Reinserted here.  This is pure trivia.  If we're going to list clubs at schools, we ought to have independent secondary sources showing that the clubs are interesting to anyone but their members and the admissions officer.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 23:14, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comprehensive list of every random club at the school 

message: The school article guidelines state that the only achievements we discuss are the "ultimate" achievement in the field of competition. Since winning the miniurban whatzit sent the robotics team to another competition, obviously that was not the ultimate achievement. If a win occurs at the thingie in May, you are welcome to add it with an appropriate reference at that time, assuming your rd it warring hasn't gotten the article protected before that.

replies: text: You have not included a link to the "school article guidelines" so that your claims can be verified. I have in fact searched the [] which I assume you are referring to and am unable to find "The school article guidelines state that the only achievements we discuss are the "ultimate" achievement in the field of competition." I am legitimately trying to verify your claim that such a Wikipedia policy exists and that the posting was inappropriate.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2002:4CAB:4D6F:0:4904:2915:90B4:BFEF (talk) 07:10, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Characterizing a victory in this competition as a national championship is ludicrous. According to the reference provided, the competition is limited to the first 20 team's per region that sign up (not are invited, mind you, but choose to participate). There are five regions. That means at most 100 schools participated. There is nothing saying all the region's filled up, and your school fielded two teams. How many other schools did the same? At best, your school is better than 98 others.  Compare that to the notable FIRST competitions, which have over 3000 schools participating. Congratulations on winning the contest, but it still isn't an encyclopedic achievement. You are encouraged to add copy about having a robotics team with references, and it isn't even a problem that you mention participation in this non notable competition sponsored by the Air Force and the Doolittle Foundation.  Just do not characterize it as a national championship. It isn't. John from Idegon (talk) 05:01, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

Um here's the link to the website. It shows that you deleted all the clubs and organizations so I added them again.  Username8901234567 (talk) 20:08, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok. Now i know what you are talking about. You have a very mistaken impression of what Wikipedia is. The page on Sherman Oaks Center for Enriched Studies is an independent encyclopedia article about the school.  It is not the property of the school; in no way is it for the school and there are no requirements for someone to edit it. As a matter of fact, , it is preferred that editors not have any connections to the subjects of the articles they edit. See WP:COI. I gave a sound reason for removing the content I removed in the edit summary when I removed it. If you disagree that's fine. Putting it back without a concensus to do so is not. Make arguements based in reliable independent sources and informed by Wikipedia policy and guidelines at Talk:Sherman Oaks Center for Enriched Studies and see if you can garner a concensus for inclusion.  Talk to you there.  John from Idegon (talk) 20:25, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
