[edit] Link removal by user:Mindmatrix on 20:45, November 1, 2006 per WP:EL

The three links removed from the article:

are complimentary sites that various functions/clubs in the school maintain. I have read the WP:EL article and the only possible violation that the links could violate is the "it isn't useful to provide a link to a page whose contents change often" (which in all the links, the information is archived, therefore, the information is still present on the site). In addition, the Schools project is slightly different from regular wikipedia content, in that the information contained in the school article should provide an in depth view of the school (which could be explored through links) and not just a surface view.

Would someone be able to clarify on the inclusion of these above links? --lovelaughterlife♥ (user|talk) 04:17, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

I'll review the links individually:
  1. RateMyTeachers - this was removed because it amounts to a popularity contest for teachers, and it isn't a statistically valid analysis of their performance or abilities (it probably has some kernel of truth to the rankings, but there's just too much bias inherent in their system)
  2. Bunch of Believers - this is essentially a blog (run by you, it appears), which most certainly fails WP:EL (point 7; point 3 applies too, but you're following the steps suggested to rectify that); there's nothing wrong with the site, but it doesn't belong here
  3. Link Crew - this is a blog with a calendar of events; again, this fails WP:EL (point 7)
What you can do is add an entry for Bear Creek Secondary School on the Open Directory Project, add these links there, and then link to the dmoz.org page for the school in this article. This would also allow the article to conform to WP:NOT (specifically, Wikipedia is not a link repository or web directory). I hope this helps. Mindmatrix 14:27, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Okay, thanks a lot! It makes sense now :) --lovelaughterlife♥ (user|talk) 03:18, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bear Creek in the News

Because of certain concerns raised to me by user:BCSCP, I moved the news stories to a separate page. If anyone has a concern with that, please reply to this on my talk page, and I'll explain further there. Thanks! :) --lovelaughterlife♥talk? 03:26, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
