Talk:St. Joseph's Preparatory School

message: both lower merion hs and st joes has Alexander Haig listed as an alum. you need a citation. or you need to fight it out with lower merion. until this happens i am removing Alexander Haig. 
Fair Enough, Discuss away...
I believe Haig is listed as having attended SJP and graduated Lower Merion.   Simple attendance meets the qualification of being an Alum. Ar-wiki 21:33, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Alexander Haig

message: I added two paragraphs: one on the Ginn incident, and one about Clifford's departure and Gomez's arrival. If you plan on deleting and/or modifying either section, please mention it here in the discussion section. --John 01:27, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ginn Incident 

message: Considering that this is a Jesuit institution and that only a small handful of students actually go to Ivy League schools every year (except the constant Penn crowd) I think that Fordham and Penn State (two huge matriculant schools) should be added.
I agree and have added these schools.  I don't believe there is any harm in this change as both institutions are well known on the national level and do accept a good deal of SJP students. Bmurphy (talk) 13:56, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

message: From the talk page here, I see some previous attempts to claim ownership of the article. Anyone may edit any page here, please do not attempt to tell any editor otherwise. That being said, this "Ginn incident" is sourced and most certainly is relevant to the school's article as a major event in its history. The introduction also needs some ad cleanup, I'll work on that as I have time to do so, right now it's written like a promo piece.

replies: text: Please don't misunderstand me, those with personal knowledge of a subject are highly welcome to edit it! It's just important to remember to stay to sourced information, since our own personal knowledge of something can easily lead to original research. If you can find reliable sources with great things to say, by all means, add them in! It's to no one's benefit to exclude well-sourced information or to have a piece that's more negative than warranted based on source coverage.

thread_title: Cleanup and other issues

message: I just added a fair amount of information on the Prep. Everything was taken from the SJP website and is therefore verifiable and true. I agreed that there was not enough positive information on the page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Myerscw (talk • contribs) 04:46, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Yeah, I agree about the Ginn section (see below).  Anyway, the removal of the Campaign section looks like it was vandalism .  The same guy that removed it then added "Jordan Edwards-Currently best freshman ever".  Ar-wiki (talk) 04:33, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Semi-protection

message: I'd like to (re)start some discussion on the relevance of the "Sexual Abuse Scandal" section of the article.  Consider the relative age of the events in question, the actual allegations being 11 years old and the dismissal being 2 years old.  Does this section of the article begin to fall under WP:Notability#TEMP?  Considering no charges were ever filed and these events occurred in the wake of the larger Roman Catholic sex abuse cases, do these events still meet the criteria for notability, specifically in this article?  Did these specific events ever actually meet criteria for "Significant Coverage" and # of "Sources" under WP:Notability#General_notability_guideline?  Note that the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia has no section dealing with abuse, even though there are far more sources dealing with similar cases in that instance.  Is it time to remove this section? Ar-wiki (talk) 22:45, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I see some more edit warring going on regarding the "Sexual Abuse Scandal" section.  Please respond via the talk page here if you have anything to say on the matter.  If no one cares enough to discuss this, it is hard to make much of an argument that it is worth keeping at this point. Ar-wiki (talk) 06:09, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Re-opening discussion of Ginn content 

message: Notice that I will be cleaning up all alumni who do not have a Wikipedia page if:
1) there is not a reliable citation demonstrating notability AND
2) there is not a citation demonstrating attendance at SJ Prep.
Please add this info for those alumni that should be kept.
