message: Edits aren't blatantly vandalism but they seem odd to me, so I reverted to the last known good version. If anon user can identify why they changes were made, they can certainly go back in.  Elf | Talk 04:58, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: I wouldn't overplay the role that Lynbrook's quality plays in housing prices in the area. I also question whether it's solely income that keeps latinos, blacks, etc. from living in the area. 
Question: it lists virtually *all* extracurricular activities as being "nationally renowned"--I have a hard time believing this. Are there any sources that anyone can cite that indicates that any of them in specific are nationally renowned?

message: I think its a mistake to put phone numbers in wiki articles.  Virtually everybody has a web access (as this is how they get here), so they can visit the school's home page, and get the current number there.  The phone number may well change, but, this article may not change.  Even if this article is updated to reflect a new phone number, expired copies of the article will float around on mirrors (and maybe even CDs) for a long time after.  Also, posting of phone numbers often encourages people to call, without bothering read where the school actually is. Now, other info can also (obviously) change, but if a web url is invalid, there's no harm in clicking on it.  Dialing a wrong number, is bothersome.  --rob 21:24, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Is it really necessary to list the presidents of each class at the high school?  Frankly, half the kids in the school probably don't care, let alone anyone looking on Wikipedia.  Unless someone can give a good reason to keep them, I'll remove them in a few days--Metros232 02:05, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Class presidents?

message: This article needs to put less emphasis on Lynbrook's high scores. There is also a certain number of "stupid people" in the school, and not everybody here is a smartie. Many people are concerned about getting into college, but it's far from what it's like at Gunn, Palo Alto, Mission San Jose, etc. Cool sword 04:54, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

text: That's what Lynbrook is best known for, so I think it should have considerable discussion in the article. Copysan 17:38, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree, Monta Vista's scores have been ever so slightly high in the previous years with Lynbrook out-scoring them on several occasions in the past 15 years. The differences are so small and so variable that "Monta Vista's scores tend to be much higher." is incorrect.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sasha woot (talk • contribs) 00:52, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

message: I removed Squareenix's prod (as per the rules) and removed his "10 cent" "rip off" editorializing.  Squareenix hates the school.  I get it.  I know many people who hate/hated Lynbrook.  However, it recently made the front page of the Wall Street Journal, it's won several awards, and it's a major feeder for UC Berkeley.  It's not Bronx Science, but most people would probably say it's notable.  That can be debated, especially since Wikipedia:Schools hasn't been agreed to.  But adding trivial, unsourced information based on the student rumor mill harms the article.  It's questionable whether it's vandalism.  Wikipedia is not a soapbox, so please take your 10 cent campaign elsewhere. Calbaer 21:20, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia is a site made to list the facts. I'm not trying to start a riot or anything, but rather put to light certain aspects of the subject that appear to be tactfully unmentioned. Besides, I never wrote "rip-off" in the actual article.Squareenix 17:31, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Objection!

message: We don't really need any citations to state that the Class of 2010 is the largest, because if you look when there is a rally, freshmen are obviously the biggest class around. I am personally not a freshman, but this is pretty obvious if you're a Lynbrook student who has seen a rally before. Therefore, I don't think the "citation needed" template is necessary. CoolSword2 (talk) 18:34, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, but I live on the east coast of the US.  I don't get to see the rallies.  And who's to say that a lot of the seniors didn't cut out on the rally?  Or anything like that.  It needs to be cited.  Metros (talk) 18:37, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Problem is, there is nowhere on the Internet that gives this kind of information. No info whatsoever on class size. Lynbrook teachers and students won't doubt that, and lots of Lynbrook people read this also. I have not changed the "citation needed" template yet. CoolSword2 (talk) 20:52, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If it's not verifiable through a reliable source (i.e. not just your first hand accounts of the rallies), then the statement should be taken out of the article.  Metros (talk) 21:22, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
