[edit] Whoa...
I just looked up Central Valley because they beat my school's football team at homecoming tonight. However, this article has HUGE NPOV problems. I'd like to change it, but I'm not sure how to as I do not attend the school. CaydenSelwyn 05:35, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What NOT to include in this article (and what TO include)
Greeting editors!
Before adding or re-adding any content to this article, allow me to make some big suggestions based on some past experience I have had:
1. Go visit Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools to get a feel for what Wikipedia is looking for in articles about schools. There are a great many things that you can research and include, but there are many things that you may passionately feel are important, and simply don't belong in an encyclopedia article. Remember, this is not your school's homepage ... it is an encyclopedia article about your school.
2. Specifically check out: What not to include. This section outlines things that, even if you think they are important, will likely get deleted eventually, and would likely not hold up if the article gets sent to arbitration. Among the things not to include are events of short term importance like who caught a winning touchdown, how far the team made it in the basketball playoffs (unless it was like a top 4 finish or something like that), the names of coaches or teachers (unless they are otherwise notable), this year's spring musical, etc, etc. These are all either unencyclopedic, or are matters of short term interest.
3. Consider having this article assessed by either the folks at WikiProject Schools. They can be reached by the big links at the top of this Talk Page. People associated with the project will assess the article, and will give suggestions for improvement. This may help more specifically guide editors as to what needs to be added and what needs to be removed.
4. Don't forget: if it cannot be referenced from a third party, neutral, reputable source, it is likely going o be deleted at some point. Always cite! (see WP:V)
5. Avoid flowery language it comes across as being unencyclopedia, and also may violate the neutral point of view policy (see: WP:POV)
