Talk:Northville High School

message: This article needs to be cleaned up to meet the Wikipedia quality standards.  For a start, knowing the city, state, country, etc. of the school would be nice.  Also, some information on the school district or a link to them would be a good start.  Otherwise, this just seems to be a 'self-promotion' page - not Wikipedia material.The Deviant 02:54, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup Needed 

message: So the earliest dates I could find mentioning Northville High School were 1888 based on the Northville History Index at http://history.northville.lib.mi.us/
If anyone finds more reliable information, by all means, update it. Wangry 08:54, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Establishment Date 

message: It has been almost tow months since the introduction of this section and it is still does not have a source.  I am not sure why User:69.135.177.104 continues to restore this section without a source.  Without a source, the allegations are hearsay at best and are not appropriate for Wikipedia.  If the allegations are true, it should not be to hard to find a reliable source.--Coaster1983 05:07, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So provide a verifiable source. "[W]ell-known throughout the high school" is not a verifiable source. It is up to YOU to provide sources for your contributions not other editors or readers. If you persist in re-adding the same information without sources, you may find yourself getting blocked for making disruptive edits. older ≠ wiser 00:46, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Please see the following official Wikipedia policies: verifiability, reliable source, and no original research. The allegations have been challenged by myself and two other editors and after nearly  two months a source still has not been provided. However, as a compromise, I will be removing removing the remainder of the Band Program as it is also not sourced and therefore cannot be verified at the moment.--Coaster1983 01:10, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Allegations of cheating subsection 

message: The page currently states that "Out of the 432 students that made up the senior class that year, 265 graduated cum laude with a GPA of 3.0 or above on a 4.0 scale..." - meaning over 60% of the senior class graduated with a GPA above a 3.0.  Considering that Grade Point Average is a relative standard based only within the high school, this seems like a poor mechanism to determine if the student body is actually "high-achieving."  One could argue that this instead signifies grade inflation and is therefore not an indicator of achievement.  A more appropriate fit would be the students' average ACT or SAT scores, which are standardized throughout the country.
:I suggest removing the entire section on academics at Northville High School.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.88.244.34 (talk) 02:38, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: High-Achieving Students

message: Making a statement such as "About 1 out of 4 students in school is estimated to be part of the choir program." is dubious.  Using "About" and "Estimated" in the same sentence without putting a source, is not the type of statement is not appropriate for Wikipedia.  This needs to be fixed or removed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbryfcz (talk • contribs) 01:19, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
