thread_title: Tablet Update

message: The opening sentences, "Brophy College Preparatory is a Jesuit high school located in Phoenix, Arizona. The school is currently limited to all-male enrollment of approximately 1,200 students. It is operated independently of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix."
If Brophy is operated by the Jesuits, which it is, then, of course, "[i]t is operated independently of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix."  The Jesuits, or the Society of Jesus, as the group is formally known, has no allegiance to a particular bishop, but only to the Pope.

message: Shouldn't the final section simply be "Famous Alumni," including
only those who actually graduated from Brophy?  Seems to me to be
milking it to include those who attended for a time but did not
graduate, and those who are merely related to someone famous but have
not achieved their own fame. Jsch 01:55, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

message: when can we edit the page?
: I don't know. I didn't protect it...whoever did didn't put anything on this Talk page. I think it needs to be unprotected so that it can be properly fixified. --Darksasami 20:15, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

message: It reads well now.  It is neutral.  Much better. I think that tag can be taken off.
:I took off the pov-check tag. It is a lot more neutral--thanks! However, I'm still worried about the copyright...the History section and the Academics section are still based on the corresponding sections from the Brophy web page. I have no idea how you judge whether it has been paraphrased enough... --Darksasami 03:22, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

message: how do i add a copyright/citation to the picture???
:Add a copyright tag to the image's description page. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the list and to determine which one applies. Also, please sign your posts on talk pages so we know who's talking. --Darksasami 08:41, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Image copyright 

message: I took out the links to the Republic article and the Brophy Web site. These are hardly verifiable or neutral sources. The Republic article states, "Brophy thinks of itself as the Stanford of high schools..." which is hardly the same as saying that the Republic has called it that. In fact, if this is the source of the quote then it should be removed altogether.
The other link was directly to Brophy itself, which is like asking a Congressman's PR staff to write the entry for you. Find a citation published by the National Merit Foundation, or a disinterested third party, and then you can call it sourced. --Darksasami 20:33, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Huh. I don't remember ever hearing that. From what I gathered, the widely acknowledged fight song was:
:That's all right
:That's okay
:You will work for us someday
Is there a source for the fight song on the page?

message: Does the paragraph about the wall really have to be there? It was a pathetic attempt on behalf of disgruntled students to bring down a wall that was simply making commuting from one end of campus to the other slightly more difficult. Personally, it didn't cause all that much of a stir if not a couple of laughs. Plus, the website is shotty and juvenile. Edit it out? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.230.193.175 (talk) 03:57, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Controversy Section 

message: Below the logo a section titled "Website" has been added that links to a web site that is obviously not the school site. Can that be corrected to point to www.brophyprep.org like the link below the logo?
Also, the correct enrollment for this academic year was 1265. This is the largest enrollment Brophy has ever had. 
Under Athletics you'll find a source for the 2004-05 National High School Swimming Champions from Swimming Magazine (Aug. 2005), who determines this title:
http://www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/articles/swimmingworld/tocs/200508-01sw_toc.pdf
This statement: "The school's web site states that Brophy historically has produced more National Merit finalists and semifinalists than any other school in Arizona and the United States, and reports that 97 percent of Brophy's graduates attend four-year institutions."
I have never seen the claim on the school's web site that Brophy has more National Merit Finalists or Semifinalists than any other school in the United States. In Arizona? Probably, but I don't have a source for that. And I believe the percentage going to four-year schools is 99%.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

message: This article is start class, in order to get it to B Class, it needs to cite sources from outside of the schools website for all info, the alumni is good, but the other sections need to be expanded. Apart from Athletics, does the school have any other specialty programs? Mid importance given the schools status and alumni Twenty Years 12:17, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I feel like this section is unnecessary and is kind of biased, although I'm not sure because I'm pretty new to Wikipedia. Also, it has no citations/links. Could someone please check this out? Kevince59 (talk) 03:09, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
