Talk:Richmond Hill High School (Ontario)

message: Just in case you are wondering, the section that is being talked about here is as follows:
===Controversy===
For some time, the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) population at RHHS has felt much discrimination at the hand of the current administration. While several schools in York Region have active GSA (Gay/Straight Alliance) groups, RHHS remains without one.
===Administration's Point of View===
The administration continuously tells the LGBT community that all the decisions that have been made are in the best interests of the general population, and for the protection of those involved with GSA. The current administration asserts that the surrounding community would not support such a society, and would create backlash among the students and staff.
===Currently===
Students attending RHHS who wish to be active within GSA are doing everything they can to establish a functioning GSA. They have realized, however, that this cannot be done under the current administration. There are plans to involve the local media that services Richmond Hill, as well as make a formal complaint to the OHRC (The Ontario Human Rights Commission).

message: Who removed the Controversy section? I understand it didn't cite it's sources, but what better source than first accounts from students who go to RHHS? As Tykut put it, this is Wikipedia - just because you don't agree with something, doesn't mean you can go ahead and remove it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.12.152.8 (talk • contribs).
*While I didn't remove the "Controversy" section, I do agree with it's removal.  These are pretty serious allegations against the administration.  They need references.  "what better source than first accounts from students who go to RHHS?" - Newspapers and other local media are excellent sources.  In fact, first-hand accounts are considered original research, and are against Wikipedia policy.  If there have been stories published in the media about this controversy, then simply add back the section, along with the proper citations.  If this hasn't been in the news yet, then why not?  Call up the local media and let them know.  You'll get a lot further in promoting your cause in the local community than in Wikipedia. You can also try self-publishing in Wikinews . And finally, "this is Wikipedia - just because you don't agree with something, doesn't mean you can go ahead and remove it."  Actually, Wikipedians are encouraged to be bold... if you see something you don't like, then change it! Just be careful not to get into an edit war. And remember to sign your comments with "~~~~".

thread_title: Semi-Protection

message: For such an old school, it's surprising that there's no history mentioned in this article.  Perhaps someone with the time and the talent can add it. You can start  here. Of course, don't just copy and paste, unless you want to ask the school board for permission. Rawr 05:18, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: History?

message: I don't understand the rationale for removing important information from this school's page regarding student groups. This is information that may serve to inform parents or potential students from middle schools. --Frederick Ding 05:29, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why have sections been removed? 

message: I have updated this school page to be in compliance with WP:WPSCHOOLS/AG, WP:BOOSTER, and WP:BLP.
Lead:
* Removed statement falling under synthesized claim in WP:BOOSTER
* Removed 20 year old ranking from lead
* Removed non-notable claim about schools population from lead
* Removed added OR from current ranking, as noted in WP:BOOSTER
* Reorganized lead to avoid undue weight on ranking as stated in WP:BOOSTER
History:
* Removed unsourced statement about a living persons speech. WP:BLP states that such statements must have citations or be removed.
Clubs and Extra-curriculars:
* This section was removed as it fails to meet the guidelines under WP:WPSCHOOLS/AG#OS. Clubs and sports teams should only be mentioned when there is notable content to write about them, or if they relate to a unique/special tradition for the school. The guidelines state "all schools have clubs and listing them does not add to the basic description of the school that is needed for an encyclopedia."
If anyone has any concerns please let me know. Meszzy2 (talk) 02:04, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
