Talk:Francis W. Parker School (Chicago)

message: "The school achieved notoriety in the spring of 2003" would be better as "The school achieved recognition in the spring of 2003." "Notorious" and "noteriety" generally have a negative meaning and are different from "noteworty" or "renown." I made the change and hope the author has no objections.

text: Speculation: might the intent of the original passage have been that the Weekly was the first school paper to be both composed and printed by students?  Early school papers were most often sent out to print shops.MarkBernstein (talk) 14:20, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

text: The guidelines for schools articles on Wikipedia hold that no current or former staff/students be named in the article unless they meet the general notability requirements.  There are a few exceptions (eg, a list of former principals/headmasters/etc. is fine), but otherwise attempts to include non notable staff/students will almost always be reverted according to consensus of the editors.  For more information on this, please check out the article guidelines for school articles. LonelyBeacon (talk) 19:41, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Whatever your personal thoughts about O'Keefe and PV are, they are completely immaterial. News sources like WGN, WBEZ, Chicago Sun-Times, and more ARE COVERING THE STORY! Add the frickin' allegations already. 47.12.161.150 (talk) 03:02, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: We're trying to find a way to mention the stink that's been raised, without pretending that any responsible grown-up thinks O'Keefe is anything but a scabrous scam artist. --Orange Mike | Talk 03:07, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: How about don't. O'Keefe has his own article, as does the conspiracy theory he's playing into. There's no reason to drag the whole school into the cesspool of right-wing culture wars. 46.97.170.38 (talk) 09:39, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you both for admitting that your ideological slants are impacting what information appears on Wikipedia. If this had been a video about a conservative handing out Bibles in a social studies class, you'd have been all over it in a heartbeat. Wikipedia is as bad as Conservapedia. Both are trash. Gfy.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.12.161.150 (talk) 20:18, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
