Talk:Smyrna High School (Tennessee)

message: The picture in the infobox is great.  This article has the potential to become much better.  The History section needs some expansion to address what's happened in 99 years.  Are there plans for a centennial observance?  Are there Notable alumni from the last 99 years; most of these people should already have an article in Wikipedia or be widely  known in their field.  This article needs to have inline citations to reliable, neutral sources.
Academics, Demographics, Faculty, and Student Life are potential new sections.  As examples of some of these look at Heritage High School (Maryville,Tennessee) or Blackman High School or other schools in List of high schools in Tennessee.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.211.41.239 (talk) 05:35, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Smyrna High School →  – There is also a Smyrna High School in Delaware. It appears this article was previously at the disambiguated form but was improperly moved; the talk page is still at the old title. Dough4872 02:46, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Rick Powell is no longer the principal, the school link no longer works, and the student enrollment number is incorrect. The number of edits I made does not mean they aren't true or are inaccurate. I improved the article significantly so I took down the talk page because most of this is not a non-issue.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.130.8.6 (talk) 16:00, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

text: Hi, IP. Your change to the principal was reverted because at the time you made it, there was no valid link to the school's website. That was rectified and your change was reinstated. The vast majority of the edits that you made that were reverted were reverted for lack of verification. Please understand, this particular article has a long history of crufty unsourced edits. Uncited additions are justifiably looked at closely. Thanks for finally listening. Please understand that the only use what you know has here is the way you use it to find sources for your edits. Every single thing here must come from a reliable published source. There are no exceptions. John from Idegon (talk) 01:48, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Also, although you can remove anything you want (except shared IP notices and certain templates related to blocks and sockpuppetry) from your own talk page, you cannot delete anything (except your own comments, but only if they have not been replied to) from any other talk page. Article talk is generally archived either manually or by a bot if it is stale. I'll manually archive it later tonight, and find someone to set up a bot. Automation baffles me.

replies: text: I concur. You both have done a great job. Thanks. There is still considerable room for further improvement if you're interested. I'll leave a note here later on that. One question tho: what's the purpose of the archive link to a 2006 version of the school's website in the external links section? John from Idegon (talk) 01:30, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
