Talk:Victoria Park Collegiate Institute

message: I really don't think half of this article should be on here. Maybe a mention of the school newspaper, but everyone who works on it? I don't think it should be there. Thoughts? Iansmcl 01:22, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem, of course, is that WP:OWN comes into play. If your instructor wanted you to develop this just as a class, he should have arranged for a MediaWiki installation in the library that's limited to just students. Since it's on Wikipedia, it's subject to all of the guidelines (and contribution licensure) that comes with every other Wikipedia article—and the open editing that every other article is subject to. —C.Fred (talk) 03:34, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

message: is there no page for mr gelbloom yet? and who else is doing the paragraphs of the staff?
Mr Gelbloom's page was deleted as it was filed under criteria for speedy deletion. It did not assert enough importance to exist as a page and was deleted. Uncompetence 15:53, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I've removed some of the text that is not appropriate for Wikipedia; for example, the sports section does not have to log the yearly results of all the teams, just times they won the championship.  The names of the student council likewise do not belong.  The entire paragraph about the goals and achievements of the students is not necessary.  Keep in mind that the article is meant to describe the notable aspects of the school; it's not blog where anything goes.  Apparently the article was started as a student project, and it shows.  Please see Balboa High School (San Francisco), which was a featured article, for an idea of what a good article about a school should look like. ... discospinster talk 23:52, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Note that C.Fred from what I've seen to date has merely asked that other editors refrain from vigilantly enforcing Wikipedia's Policies and guidelines, but unless he's stating that wearing his administrator's hat (which I don't think he is), it is only a request that editors are free to ignore. Personally, I don't agree that the Please do not bite the newcomers guideline and the fact this is a school project should exempt the article from standards even temporarily, but I'm willing to give it a chance. However, I wouldn't read C.Fred's comments as a carte blanche to revert or ignore other editors who chose to edit the page. - Fordan (talk) 08:02, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

text: I'm trying to keep this article in line with the rest of the encyclopedia, and I have a right to do that.  If it's imperative that the class's version be printed out and handed in, that's possible by going back into the history and using the older version.  ... discospinster talk 13:03, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cutting down on some of the text 

message: Is there anybody who objects to moving the article back to Victoria Park Collegiate Institute? It's consistent with the styling of article names for other secondary schools. —C.Fred (talk) 21:46, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll second the moving back of the article. Uncompetence 22:11, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Yeah, a bot flagged the cleanup as vandalism. It's been cleaned up properly now. I hope. :) —C.Fred (talk) 12:20, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
