Talk:Santa Monica High School

message: Most high schools have an infobox. Can anyone get an image of the Samo Hi seal or the Viking logo? Picture of campus? What's the enrollment? -Will Beback 09:57, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Article improvement

message: Can't find any information about this person at all, unusual for someone supposed to be a Playboy model. Her article is up for AFD, if that passes, then presumably this reference should also go. TheGrappler 06:01, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Fixed present tense to past since the event has passed already. --SkinnerIJA 05:56, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Eddie Lopez's death

message: Okay, so I ran for Samo XC and graduated in 2002, I'm pretty sure we didn't win league any of the four years I was there which would make it pretty touch by most standards to have a 10 year league winning streak.  I've kept in touch a little and I'm a big fan, I also believe we got dropped to a lower league, so it's possible that there is a 6 year streak going, but I don't see how 10 years is possible.  I'm going to change it, just wanted a  comment here as well so if anybody wonders they'll know why.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.151.59.138 (talk) 00:03, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  XC ten year league winning streak 

message: I have changed the importance rating from High to Mid, as the Santa Monica article better meets the Mid criteria of "Adds further depth, but not vital to encyclopedia", than the High criteria "Very much needed, even vital". -- Lissoy 20:52, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Importance assessment

message: The article contains many unreferenced statements, some of which contradict information available elsewhere online (such as the history section, which is vastly different from the Samohi Alumni website history pages). I have left the material in place, but added tags marking the need for sources. Other areas needing sources include the competition results for musical groups. I marked quite a few spots, if any of you have any sources to include! Thanks. Harsimrankaur (talk) 09:05, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Unreferenced statements

message: A recent edit added two long paragraphs about the Santa Monica Band Parents Association. I have two concerns about this material. First, it may be excessively long given the overall importance of the issue to the article as a whole. Second, there are no sources. Are any sources available for this material? Was the dispute covered in any of the local newspapers? A minor point: it'd be nice to know the amount of money involved.   Will Beback  talk   19:54, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: See WP:ALUMNI: "All alumni information must be referenced". Wikipedia is always a work in progress, and the fact that some other article may violate a policy or guideline is not a justification to violate it in this one too. Above, WhisperToMe already pointed out the same problem with this list some years ago. It's time to start reducing it to the referenced entries. Regards, HaeB (talk) 08:57, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

text: WP:OTHERSTUFF.  Enforcement has to start somewhere, but it has to be sensible enforcement.  This isn't.  I removed the tag because there is no pressing danger that a reader might swallow fake info in this section.  Warnings should be used sparingly when there is a pressing need.  Otherwise people become habituated to seeing warnings everywhere, and start to ignore them. Jehochman Talk 12:16, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notable alumni 

message: As I noted in my edit summary, it is the norm for lists of this sort not to have refs for every single entry.
Look for example at List of people from California.
And List of California Institute of Technology people.
I went through this list, and deleted some non-appropriate entries. And then deleted the tag. Explaining why. 
You then shame-tagged the list. Why? Are you going to shame-tag every single list on Wikipedia? Starting with the 300 lists of people by city in the US?
In addition, as you I am sure are aware, there are no refs in categories. Yet all these same names are set forth in the categories that also represent the same fact -- person of city X. Are you going to now start deleting those category references, because categories do not attract refs? If not, where is the logic?
The same with schools.  Such as these 400 lists of people of school x.
As you can see, most don't have refs within the list. How is that helpful? 
If you continue to insist on shame-tagging these lists, we should bring other editors into this discussion. Including those who focus on lists. --2604:2000:E016:A700:74E3:5CBF:500C:CF92 (talk) 02:59, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
