message: :Image:NHS Seal.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: The course offerings list should be removed, the wikipedia page is not a course catalog.  It'd be best to have someone convert it into a narrative section that discusses the encyclopedic aspects of the curriculum, if they exist.  -- Lucas20 (talk) 04:32, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed (again).   I've removed it (again)   .  MarylandPride keeps restoring it against consensus. That needs to stop.  Toddst1 (talk) 19:53, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I keep restoring that section as I base the content of this article on Wikipedia Featured Articles or Class A articles — most notably articles such as Stuyvesant High School of New York. They have the exact same content listed, albeit, they list their course offerings under the general headline "Academics" and not a specific "Course Offerings" section. Until someone can state why it's okay for Stuyvesant to list their course offerings and be considered a featured article, yet Northwestern can't, I shall continue to revert any edits trying to omit this data. I have no issues having course offerings deleted, as long as there is no bias. --Maryland Pride ... a Wikipedia contributor (talk) 20:02, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You don't have consensus (per the problems on your talk page and objections here).  Please seek consensus. Toddst1 (talk) 20:05, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

text: BTW, per the compairson to Stuyvesant High School, there is a brief mention of course offerings, which is not similar to the edits that were being made here ... the SHS article doesn't get into a lot of detail regarding course sequencing.  As I noted in my edit summary, there is nothing wrong with brief (brief) mention of the courses offered.  Getting into too much detail is problematic. LonelyBeacon (talk) 20:26, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

message: I copied all the freely-licensed media of Northwestern HS on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons (that I could find) into Commons:Category:Northwestern High School (Hyattsville, Maryland)‎ and all the media still hanging around on English Wikipedia into :Category:Northwestern High School (Hyattsville, Maryland)‎.  (There are something like 50 images and 3 audio files total; enough that I subdivided the category on Commons.)  If a file is in the wrong categories on Commons, feel free to move them. --Closeapple (talk) 02:19, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

message: I've gone through and removed a bunch of useless unreferenced lists that were probably dumped here as some type of make-work project by students along with a broader cleanup and tagging.  This article was in awful shape! Toddst1 (talk) 01:05, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: It looks like Maryland Pride and I had a pretty big collision here and his/her reinstatement of this stuff was collateral damage from the edit conflict.  I've re-instated MDP's edits and I'm hoping he/she will manually restore mine as I've discussed on MDP's talk page.  This article will still need work but I think we're all trying to go in the same direction.  Toddst1 (talk) 16:17, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Significant cleanup 

message: I've added a number of templates to help focus improvement on this article in the areas that are overly detailed and/or lacking citations.   Toddst1 (talk) 13:52, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this was some good work.  I hope it is helpful to editors in improving this article, because it seems that small amounts of help can get it up to a "B" in no time flat, and from there the focused work of getting it to GA status can begin.
