Talk:Xavier School

message: There's an ongoing dispute between anonymous users about placing a certain individual named Stanford "Honeybee" Chung, claimed to be part of a certain corporation and allegedly an "aspiring Hollywood actor" in the list of Xavier School's notable alumni.  To resolve the dispute, please see the guidelines in WP:NOTE.  In light of these guidelines, it appears that the person being forced into the list fails to meet the standard of notability.

thread_title:  Edit war re: Stanford "Honeybee" Chung 

message: Recent changes have been made by user Pmgomez to this particular article. The changes have added information and images. Most of the information is lifted from numerous institutional materials, leading to non-neutral treatment of the subject matter, including the addition of boosterism, weasel statements, and unencyclopedic content. See the following: WP:NOT#SOAP, WP:NOT#IINFO, WP:NPOV. Reversion will continue until consensus is reached and/or intervention is required. Rmcsamson 16:19, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Specify all, please, such that consensus may be reached soon. Pmgomez 16:40, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Changes have been made to accomodate formatting losses. Most weasel statements and usage errors have been corrected. I've also asked for a third party to look into this, so we can get a third opinion. Rmcsamson 17:12, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As previously mentioned, kindly provide a detailed explanation for each of the edits made. This will facilitate discussion for us to reach a consensus. Thank you. Pmgomez 03:28, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I'm understanding Rmc's problem now. Are you familiar with WP:WEASEL or WP:PEACOCK? The idea is that you're starting to sound more like an ad for the school and trying to make it sound good. Take  for example. You changed "Xavier considers commitment to be" to "Commitment is", implying that Xavier is full of commitment (which an encyclopedia should not do). Also, the statement In the same way, the school is committed in supporting its student-athletes by providing the best opportunities possible for their growth completely sounds like an advertisement for the school, and is in no way NPOV. Also, some of your other editions sounded like an ad for the school, like the addition of the sports arena , which is probably because it was taken almost completely from the website (). That's a big no-no: unless you post something directly on the site stating otherwise, it is assumed to be a copyright violation (in fact, the site itself says "all rights reserved"). Finally, we have additions like , where "The Xavier fight song best embodies the spirit and culture that thrives...". Again, this is more booster-sounding language that is acceptable for a pamphlet advertising the school, but not for an encyclopedia article. As a result, I have reverted your changes; feel free to add any others back in, though we might take exception to some of those as well. I hope my explanation satisfies your questions.

text: Hi. Please enlighten me. Most encyclopedias I've seen include nifty pics. :) Pmgomez 15:36, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: First, the article doesn't need the pictures of the three priests, :Image:XS_seals.jpg (but leave the clean version), :Image:XS_orgchart.png, all of the pics at the academic (the triangles, etc.) and service sections, almost all of the pics at the athletics section (leave the SMB All-Stars pic), the site of Xavier II (grassland?! lol). With all of the pics you uploaded, you did miss out an important pic, the campus layout/map. Also, did you take them yourself, or are they copyrighted by the school? You'd have know that this is an encyclopedia, not a vehicle for advertising. --Howard the Duck 16:04, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

This includes newsletters from the various clubs (like math club, etc.). So of you'd graduate from XS, you'd be forced pay for more than one yearbook? --Howard the Duck 11:45, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I do not see why there is a necessary use of a template called "Infobox Philippine High School" when "Infobox Secondary School" has been around as an available standard that is more widely used. The Philippine High School infobox template is incomplete, and is really just redundancy which serves no practical purpose. The Secondary School infobox can be used with proper adjustment to labels and information. Rmcsamson 06:54, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I completely agree! But until such time, Infobox Philippine High School is here to stay. :) { PMGOMEZ } 06:56, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: See history for reason/s. { PMGOMEZ } 08:12, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  What can be clearly gleaned from the history is that there are SMALL bits of information that end up being omitted when there is a reversion to ISS. This omission can easily be remedied by supplying the apporpirate information and tags that are provided for in the ISS template, instead of resorting to the (useless) IPHS template.Rmcsamson 08:34, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Therefore person rv'ing to ISS ought to be careful not to omit. :) { PMGOMEZ } 08:56, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:XS seals.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
