message: * It seems to me that Marc Johnson isn't all that notable, as he's a CPA and clicking his name doesn't even link to him. He was a good athlete, sure, but there are a lot of those and being one doesn't make him notable. Should his name be removed or am I missing some larger point here? 
|I would agree with this statement.  I'm deleting him from the list.
Also, I wonder if Katie Detlefsen shouldn't be added simply for her four-peat of the state golf tournament and owning most state girls' golf records. Peter Gawtry 19:19, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Notable alumni

message: In this diff I removed the line regarding perfect scores on both in 2005. (Names ought to have been removed anyway.) While certainly worthy of note, if the article notes scores in 2005, then it should also mention the other years in which students got a perfect score on one or the other. In recent years, to the best of my knowledge, perfect scores have been registered several times; it makes no sense to only mention one of the incidents. Either they all get mentioned, or none of them do. (Furthermore, the scores need attribution, as they were not, nor ever have been, in the history of this article, cited.)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: My prayers for the students and staff. Please avoid trying to keep up with breaking details of the event.  This is an encyclopedia, not a newspaper.  A summary is all that is needed right now.  As details become clearer, we can add things that can be confirmed.  No need to add speculation.  Photo removed, as it is a blatant copyright violation.

replies: text: Actually, we want the secondary sources, not primary sources like the reports you've mentioned. Encyclopedias are tertiary. Journalistic and or academic analysis is preferred over the raw facts, ad in an encyclopedia we do not add analysis of our own. As far as pictures, as long as your camera in your phone is bigger than 8mpx, and they are composed fairly well or edited for that, they'd be great. You do have to completely release all rights (except for attribution) to upload pictures here if that is a concern for you. Upload them to Wikimedia Commons.

thread_title:  events of 8/2/2017 

message: Please correct me if I am mistaken but it appears several categories are listed under the history heading, when they should be listed individually under their own headings (i.e. extracurricular activities and academics are both under history) thank you

replies: text: Yes, athletics and academics should have their own section headers. What should not is the events of earlier this month. This is a relatively old school. To put added emphasis on the events of a few minutes on one day is a violation of both WP:WEIGHT and WP:RECENT. John from Idegon (talk) 21:48, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

text: Yup, sounds good. I've been trying to get back to this article all month, thanks for taking care of it. One thing, not sure when it got changed but we don't use euphemisms for death. People don't perish or pass away, they die. Thanks John from Idegon (talk) 01:24, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

text: Gahhh...just lost a huge reply to the above If I have time before church in the morning I'll try from my desktop there. That should work better. John from Idegon (talk) 06:10, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

text: Haven't forgot you...will reply this evening. Thanks for your patience. If you ever get a chance to see a total eclipse, do not miss it.  I've done some pretty intense things in my life, but outside the birth of my son, that was the most awesome 2 minutes I ever spent. John from Idegon (talk) 21:25, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
