message: I do not think that Parkland is the most populous high school in the Lehigh Valley; I believe that Allen has more students --Joe 21:58, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You are correct (Allen has 3,386 to Parkland's 3,100).  I made revisions accordingly.  PAWiki 22:22, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is there a line at the very bottom of the Academics section referring to an individual student's achievement? It seems rather self-promoting in nature.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.81.254.35 (talk) 00:54, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

message: There are MANY statements in this article that should be supported with citations.  Also, someone should edit for NPOV,  and "peacock terms."  Alphageekpa (talk) 21:43, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I have been trying to add Troy Emswiler as a noted graduate.
I have some sources to back me up.
He is Director of Communication for Pitt ESC

replies: text: - You have not shown how he is notable. References from this school or from his employer do not do that. Even if he were director of communication for the university itself, it is doubtful he would be notable. Further, you've had two editors tell you they disagree with this addition. Disputed content requires a consensus which you do not have. Until or unless you have a consensus to add his name here, any further replacement of his name in the article will most likely lead to your editing privileges being suspended for edit warring, as you have been advised on your talk page. As I said, it is highly doubtful that this fella meets any notability guideline for biographies, but the only way to show for sure that he is notable is to write his bio and see. A person MUST qualify to have a biography on Wikipedia to be included in a notable alumni list. John from Idegon (talk) 22:41, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Troy Emswiler 

message: There was no consensus in adding  to this section, so it is not clear why it was added. I see no real basis. If there is one, it should be explained here. If not, it should be removed, and I will do so.  Keystone18 (talk) 16:50, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: It's clear to me why it was added. As user:John from Idegon said in his summary . Alumni without reliable sources showing their attendance is a valid reason for the tag. Meters (talk) 01:33, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Alumni tag

message: You are going to need to provide reliable secondary sources as to why this matters. Is it controversial? Did the architect purport the district was getting an original design? If not, how is this anything more than trivia? John from Idegon (talk) 23:49, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: , if you are adding this in response to the "this school makes the Kessel run..." thing, there is another approach. I'd not object to removing that piece of trivia too. If others come in favor of keeping it, I'd argue removing it to a separate section. If you can find secondary sources where the source notes the similarity between the design of the other schools and the Falcon, that would bolster any argument that the whole thing is nothing but non distinguishing trivia.

thread_title:  Similarities between this and other schools 

message: Just a reminder that having an address for a particular city, in this case Allentown, doesn't not mean the subject is "in" said city. This is an issue that comes up with many high schools (and many other topics too), especially those in rural or otherwise unincorporated areas. ZIP and other postal codes quite often cover areas well outside the city they are assigned to, and this is another example. Unless Allentown has recently annexed the area, the school shows up on maps and in the Lehigh Valley GIS as being in South Whitehall Township with an Allentown mailing address. We can and should be accurate in location. Using "near" in the article text is accurate, but unless the current category for Allentown schools changes, it's inaccurate to say this school is "in" Allentown. If the category name had "in and around" or "Schools serving Allentown..." or something similar, then it would work since this school does include small parts of Allentown itself in its district. -- JonRidinger (talk) 17:40, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
