[edit] NOt Sure
It hasnt been proven to be arson. It could have easily been anything else, such as a gas leak or a spark. Alexj765
- I do not suppose we can flesh its mention in this article? As an editor living very close to this school, I have seen news reports on television that classes have about the major impact this will have on the routines and operation of the school.
- According news reports in today’s morning news from KTTV and KTLA that in addition to classes being cancelled for May 21, 2007 with the possibility of resuming the following day, there is doubt as to possibility of the auditorium ever being rebuilt to its original grandeur. Standardized testing that was to be conducted this week may have postponed.
- One item of interest I have noticed throughout television and print is the ambiguity as to the extent of the damage. While almost all news reports seem to agree on the severe damage to the auditorium, I recall an interview broadcasted with the principal mentioning fire and water damage to joined building that houses administration staff and some classrooms. As of time of this posting, I have not heard anything related to the principals comments.--Kevin586 15:54, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Notability
Someone put down "Cordero, Joe — Program Manager Microsoft Corporation, Redmond Washington", which is not notable in itself because there are thousands of those positions at Microsoft and many more thousands of similar positions at many other places. The reason I bring it up is because I looked into this and it's not even accurate, a source tells me he's considered "support". Don't say things about yourself or your friends especially when it's all made up.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Frontdog.gif
Image:Frontdog.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Non-neutral Position
"The legacy of Jaime Escalante is overrated. It can't be seen in the 722 students who took AP tests of some sort in 2000. They had a 44% overall pass rate, which is comparable to the national average.[7] Great teachers at Garfield High are still being ignored only to give Jaime Escalante all the credit." This, from the Advanced Placement section seems to not be Wikipedia stuff. I think it should be fixed to be more neutral. hornplayer2 (talk) 06:02, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
