Talk:Wakefield High School (Arlington County, Virginia)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I want to improve this article. I'm putting it on my watchlist. My dad graduated from this school in 1974.

It needs improvement ASAP. It was great before... what happened?

Looks to me like a student got a hold of it and tried to make some improvements- I'm sure he or she didn't intend to lower the article's quality, but that's what happened regardless.

They need to stop editting for a while so everyone can clean up the article. The edits are sometimes questionably biased.

There was nothing on the page before! The additions look fine. You can edit it all you want, 'cept that a few errors were made. AND I am writing from a student's point of view putting all the information that I know and have experienced. The article now reflects how the school is now. If you have any information on how the school used to be before, say 2000, be my guest. Besides, you wanted more information in it, right? and from what I saw, there weren't any "improvements" since before I started adding to the article.

Editing the article ten times a day is a bit excessive. - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tiroket (talk • contribs).

It's purely unintentional. Everytime I click "Save Page", I find, like, a grammatical or spelling error.

Wat does the yorktown rock have to do with wakefield

Go to WHS stadium. There's a rock there, just like Yorktown. Thus, "to the likeness of Yorktown". 70.18.229.43 16:44, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

oh yeh now i know, but ehh its not a tradition anymore, its now just a random rock that kids dont know about

but it's still there, right?

[edit] Merge

I recommend the article Alumnae Hall of Fame (Wakefield High School) be mergred into article Wakefield High School (Arlington County, Virginia). A seperate page is not necessary. Joneboi 14:53, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree, and also suggest Warrior Basketball and History of the Superfans (Wakefield High School). Wikipedia does not normally have separate pages for high school teams and clubs. ... discospinster _talk 14:55, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Wow thanks for catching those two. It seems History of the Superfans (Wakefield High School) was recently deleted because it lacked significance. And the more I read these pages the more they seem like an advertisment. While this High School is significant to the students and community it serves, it is still just another high school among the thousands in the US. I think once these issues of seperate pages is resolved the article is going to need cleadup to meet wikipedia standards. Joneboi 15:46, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

There's also Student Life (Wakefield High School) which has just been created by the same author. They seem to be off-shoots of the original article, which is rather long, although it contains quite a bit of unneeded material. ... discospinster _talk 15:58, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes it does have A LOT of completely unnecessary information. For example, how is it relevant that the hallway to the principal's office contains the seals of all colleges the students have graduated from? It isn't. When I have more time to go through this I will post more to this page. Joneboi 16:07, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

It's only TRIVIA. Hence why it's under the 'trivia' heading. duh
