Talk:Cleveland High School (Tennessee)

School article content

To the IP editor that added the 9500 bit addition today: Thank you for your efforts, but 95% of it was removed by me. There are guidelines for content for school articles (WP:SCH/AG) and virtually none of what you added was allowed by them. If you want to improve the article, addition of references to the state championships would be a great start. John from Idegon (talk) 02:23, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Pillar policies: No Personal Attacks and Assume Good Faith

Wow. Your rant above is not only a serious policy violation, but it does nothing to help your cause here. Acting like that will only lead to your IP address being blocked and possibly the article being locked down to prevent IP editing at all. This article is not CHS's page on Wikipedia; it is Wikipedia's page on CHS. The school article guidelens do include language about not using detailed season or series results in articles. In an encyclopedia, we write about facts. The "importance" of the rivalry is in the view of the beholder. By the way you wrote above (the use of the pronoun "we" primarily), it is obvious you must be a student at CHS. You have no special say on what goes in this article. You do have an equal say with other editord, but most editors will see your obvious inability to keep the subject of the school you attend in the proper perspective of the world-wide target audience of this article. Would you like me to bore you with the details of the 117 year rivalry that my alma mater has? John from Idegon (talk) 04:06, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

CONTINUED

My apologies. I'm writing from my cheap phone and it will only let me do so much. Rivalries seem very important locally to all schools, but even the biggest rivalries rarely arouse interest outside of the area the schools compete. The rivalry IS mentioned in the article; the details are not of interest beyond the schools locale and hence do not belong in an encyclopedia article. The last edits I reverted included the addition of a link to the school's athletic site as a reference to a state championship. Achievements require independent reference. If ya won the state title, dontcha think a newspaper may have done a story on it? On the positive side, the useful portion of the history you added did raise the quality rating of the article one level. Thanks. However, there is no need or point in discussing a person who would not be known outside your community or a local company. Those were removed as was info referenced to the student handbook or a plaque on the wall. This article is not for the locals. John from Idegon (talk) 04:19, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
