Talk:Rockhurst High School

message: Has Rockhurst won or played for a championship in baseball?  I remember something about second place in 2004.  I'm going to post that for now, and see what kind of responses it gets. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by AgBrick (talk • contribs) 02:24, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

message: This page is beginning to look really good. Does anyone live around Rockhurst that could take some pictures, indoors and outdoors? Also, should we consider reorganizing the championship sections since there's so much information there now? And lastly, anybody have some old pics? Pat 22:37, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Photographs and more 

message: A lot of the alumni links had previously directed to completely different people. I did some fixing, but now there's a lot of red names listed. It might be wise to do some trimming.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:RockhurstHSHawkletlogo.jpg

message: In the 'Football' section under 'Program Specific Accomplishments', it states that Rockhurst played its first football championship at William Chrisman High School. However, the article previously stated that they played at Columbia Hickman High School. Because no source was cited for this edit and because the edit was made by an anonymous user, I am not sure if this is correct. The Rockhurst High School web page has no information regarding this, and I haven't found any other sources so far. Does anybody know where Rockhurst played the 1971 Football State Championship?

message: Article calls the campus "suburban". I do not know the correct answer to this. The campus is totally within the city limits of a central city, Kansas City Missouri, but nowhere near the central core. In fact, it is right across the street from a suburb, Leawood, Kansas, but the campus itself is not in a suburb. But I would hard pressed to call the campus central city, but I certainly could call it urban.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.143.34.161 (talk) 00:14, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

message: As to tagging this, there's little hope of finding an article on it anywhere. I've toned it down to a concise explanation. I checked all over the web and could not find pictures of students wearing their letters and pins. Jzsj (talk) 07:57, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Removing the unsourced tag because you cannot find a source is not appropriate. I've removed the section. It has been unsourced for three years, and per WP:WPSCH/AG#WNTI the material really doesn't belong inthe article. Meters (talk) 03:28, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Varsity letters section 

message: There is a significant amount of material (beyond the athletic letters section discussed above) in this article that does not belong in this Wikiarticle. See WP:WPSCHOOLS/AG for the School wikiproject article content guidelines. I'll open the discussions here before making any changes in an attempt to minimize the to and fro edits we saw with the letters issue.

First up: The school has an impressive list of State championships, so there is no need to list every second and third place finish. This issue was discussed in a recent RFC Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Schools/Article_guidelines#RfC: Is being a finalist in a major championship notable for school articles?. I suggest replacing the table with a list of sports offered and championships won. 
The program specific accomplishments section is just non-encyclopedic football boosterism. No-one but school members cares about trivia such as old win-loss records, various ESPN national rankings, how many titles it has won compared to the winningest schools, or the fact that it has won a championship in each of four major championship venues. The coaches mentioned don't have wikiarticles, and don't seem all that notable. The Knute Rocky Awards would go to showing notability, but are not sourced, and it's not a coaching award. The USA Today Coach of the year award is just a selection by one journalist.  Meters (talk) 05:52, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

message: It's not up to editors to exclude certain alumni based on their opinion that the alumni are not notable enough. In the recent case of Nathan Scheelhaase it does not matter that he never played pro ball. All alumni who are notable enough to have a wikipedia article (Scheelhaase does) and for whom there are reliable source showinging attendance for even for one day (Scheelhaase did) are to be listed.
