Talk:Potomac Senior High School (Virginia)

message: If you take a look at the page you see that the border is a different color.  Can you tell me how to put two colors there. It is what I want to do for my site.  thanks John R G 17:41, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Great page!  Really looking great.  Unfortunately, Wikipedia does not allow colors to be inserted into the borders, just because the feature would be overused and end up looking like a MySpace page.  You may use different colors in the text, but I would refrain from using this, just for a more professional look for the page.  However, a mention of the school colors would be satisfactory I'm sure.  Later, zappa.jake (talk) 12:28, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thats the thing I want to do is put my school colors on the border.  I have already had blue on the border for a couple of days now. Can you show me how to put two or three colors on the border.  I will make it look nice and not a mess ok.  John R G 06:23, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You really can't do that.  I would tell yo how, but it really is impossible.  Sorry, zappa.jake (talk) 13:15, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

message: The State Champions section is for team state champions and not individual state champions.  That is why I removed the information.  John R G 06:26, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No single editor has the authority to determine what should and shouldn't be in the article. Without any good reason to not include it, I've re-added it to the article in a separate subsection for individual champions. Note that references are missing for both the teams and Tony Thomas, which means that they all would eventually need to be removed if no source for the information can be found. — Saxifrage ✎ 20:48, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I have replaced the infobox district line for the same reason Saxifrage restored information as he described above: Without a substantial reason for removing, information should be retained.
Moreover, other PWCS schools do cite the district, so for the sake of encyclopedic consistency, it should remain.
The Prince William County Public Schools is governed by a school board separately elected from the Prince William County governmental board of supervisors. (Anyone involved in the budget process can tell you that these are two totally separate groups!) The School Division is the body licensed, endorsed, and accredited, not the County itself, so it is a misnomer to say that the "county runs the schools" without a school district. In truth, PWCS is formally a "school division" sanctioned by the Commonwealth Department of Education.
Hope this clears this up!
