Talk:Abraham Lincoln High School (Des Moines, Iowa)

message: I think the Infobox_School template doesn't have enough space or area to list the information most relevant to your typical United States High school. For one, Lincoln High doesn't have a motto, last time I checked. The school's website URL is rather long, and the way the template is setup, it will stretch the table and interfere with the appearance of the article page. I have no idea what goes under the information column, since I can't find any other pages that use this template.   --Ted 08:33, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
:I have since replaced that template with a more suitable one: :Template:Infobox Secondary school --Ted 00:47, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't want to spark a edit war here, but there doesn't appear to be any specific naming convention for school institutions defined on Wikipedia:Naming_conventions. I have named the high school articles I have created by their school name, followed by a space, with the city in parenthesis. This is similar to the other school articles by the same name. If you insist on forcing a specific standard on the name of the article, I would petition the Wiki community on creating a standard naming convention.   --Ted 22:13, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

message: User:12.223.28.68 (talk) in his edit added Gamers Paradise as a club sanctioned by the school. They have been asked to verify this, but have not followed up. I pull the list of extracirricular activities directly from the Student Handbook that is printed and given to every student at the beginning of the academic school year. The list shown is current as of the beginning of the 2005-2006 school year. --Ted 02:56, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

:In recent years, The Railsplitters have excelled in athletics particularly in baseball with over 10 state championship appearances. The Rails have held the Conference Championship in many sporting events including, boys' soccer, softball, baseball, boys' and girls' basketball, football, and girls' swimming. The girls' basketball has had many successes over the years with six straight conference championships. They were even ranked 7th in the nation during the 2000-2001 season. Most recenltly the football team has enjoyed its first conference championship in nearly two decades and two straight conference championships and playoff appearances.
I think this section is based on rumors. While I would be inclined to keep the entire section as it is, and just throw  tags as needed, I think the section would be better if the questionable statements were properly referenced by news articles from the Des Moines Register or other local and reputable news sources. --Ted 00:48, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
