Talk:Benedictine Military School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You have new messages (last change).

Whoever is constantly removing things from the webpage needs to explain themselves. First of all, if you did not graduate from BC you have no business here anyway. Second, this is a publicly edited site, not anything official and therefore doesn't need to be censored for what you deem "unnecessary." Third, I started this Benedictine web site and myself as well as a few others spent a lot of time putting it together and don't appreciate your unsolicited editorial actions.

Explanations like "unnecessary" are not good enough. Identify yourself and from now on, post ideas in the discussion area before any changes are made.

Hiya. Wikipedia has policies on what kind of information is permitted in articles. We are building an encyclopedia, not a web journal. For a taste of what wikipedia is and is not, please read WP:NOT, WP:OWN, and WP:NOR. Articles here on the wikipedia aren't owned by any individual or group of individuals. It is freely edited by anyone. I reviewed the removal of information, and it was justified. So please take some time to read the official policies. Thanks. --BWD (talk) 20:40, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay, going back through the history of edits on the article I now see some of the things you felt necessary to remove. The page was never originally intended to contain erroneous facts about people like Harry Deal or include stupid inside jokes. Also in the Cafetorium Etiquette article, someone changed the shouts of "Nerd!" which is very accurate from personal experience, to "FAG!" which is not. I don't appreciate the changes of some 16 year old from my original design for the school. I apologize for not going back and examining the history first.

As far as authenticity, the history came from an alumni directory issued in the early 1990's. As soon as I can get it I will put appropriate credit as due. The rest is mostly personal experience.

Personal opinion I suppose, but I think the Bill Curley part should either be changed or deleted. As mentioned before inside jokes don't have much place on an encylopedia, and I trust you have far more knowledge on this article than I do. --70.179.119.138 22:44, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
