Talk:Logan Park High School

message: Oh my good god. Who the heck wrote this trash? Famous students indeed... They are not famous. I think you'll find the people from LPHS who are famous are people like Mark Dickle etc. Wikipedia is not meant to be biased... I hope whoever wrote this never writes for a newspaper or becomes an historian. - Griggonator
Yea, I just thought Logan Park should have a Wikipedia article. I didn't have much time and others decided to edit it, the page looks okay now so maybe the deletion should be removed. Heh, luckily I do not plan to be a writer of any kind. - Bobmasedo
:Huh? Former captain of the New Zealand national netball team... lead singer/songwriter/guitarist of one of New Zealand's most widely-recognised international bands... it's a reasonable start, no? Grutness...wha? 01:16, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Are you going to provide any kind of source, at all, for any of the material you've added? Because at the moment it's not only unsourced but looks very like the kind of trivia that doesn't belong on a Wikipedia page. I'm strongly considering simply reverting all the recent changes and putting the page back the way it was a week ago. If you'd rather I didn't, it's sources time. —VeryRarelyStable 01:06, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm afraid an individual Wikipedia editor's personal reminiscences are not a reliable source. It needs to be something published, whether in print or online, by someone who is accountable for what they publish. Basically there needs to be something that fact-checkers can look up. No reflection on you personally, but there are vandals out there who deliberately introduce false information into Wikipedia articles just to see what they can get away with. Without such a source, the information has to go. If you want a detailed guide on what counts as a reliable source, here's that link again. —VeryRarelyStable 03:28, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

text: Just making sure you've seen this. I'll leave it a day or two more, and then if these edits are still unsourced I'm reverting them. —VeryRarelyStable 20:33, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added a source for the death of Arch Wilson, but I'm still not sure this is worth including per WP:NOTNEWS, and I don't have a source for the info about the pie cart etc. If you want to revert the edits, VeryRarelyStable, that's ok with me.

replies: text: Thanks, .  for future reference, it must be emphasized: an individual editor's personal reminiscences do not count as a citation. Wikipedia requires a published source. This is not optional. (And it's better etiquette to supply your own citations, rather than leave other editors to find them for you.) —VeryRarelyStable 23:09, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

text: Edits reverted.  The 1974 date may be true, but without published sources to back that up, it doesn't belong here.  Unless Wilson was actually principal at the time of his death, it's not relevant to the school.  All the rest was trivial.  Wikipedia is not a forum for personal nostalgia. —VeryRarelyStable 02:39, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

text:  Thank you for providing that citation. —VeryRarelyStable 02:27, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
