Assessment: Hello all, and thank you for contributing to this school article. I'm part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools/Assessment team, and I'm reviewing this page. I'm currently giving it a grade of B on the Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale and an importance of mid on this importance scale. For information on improving this article, please visit the WikiProject Schools Project Page. My reasoning is as follows: Plenty of references and pictures. Lists should really be cut down or made into tables. Needs some overall work on readability and organization. Adam McCormick (talk) 19:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP Schools Assessment

very well done ...tell us a bit more ... alumni - any more.... more pics welcome Victuallers 22:58, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Merry Xmas 2007! Nice to see the pics! Yes you are mid importance. ?If you get this well referenced using the ref tag (ideally the cite tag too) and you can then get a B or GA. You can apply for reassessment at the schools ptoject if you want a second opinion (this is not an exact science). Well done Victuallers (talk) 08:56, 24 December 2007 (UTC) 2nd thoughts .... may be a B now ... apply to schools project for reassessment Victuallers (talk) 08:58, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Athletics Section

Hi. This section needs work but it's going to be expanded upon. Since it meets the criteria for verifiability and NOR (or is flagged appropriately) please leave it here for the time being or help improve it. Thanks.

Yah, I agree. None of the awards you listed are specifically cited. This is done immediately or Wikipedia is risking potential liability. P-unit 22:35, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

All facts on the page are from the references listed in the reference section. I can add footnotes for any contested material to aid verification. --Ryan Utt 04:00, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Additions to page

I'm nearing completion of the article. Only a few things left I want to take care of:

1) Funding -- Los Alamos Public Schools formerly recieved funds directly from DOE. Now they recieve funds from some federal intermediary that also provides some support to the surrounding communities such as Espanola. I wish I could get the facts regarding this situation, but they are hard to find.

2) Extra-curricular activities -- in particular I would like to get a photo of the landscaping work done by X-scape.

3) Campus -- just a few basic facts about the campus including the most key biographical details of the people buildings are named after: Duane W. Smith, Griffith, etc. --Ryan Utt 06:09, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photo of LAHS

From Wiki fair use policy section 1: "Always use a more free alternative if one is available". Since no alternative photos showing the same material are available, then this specific photo does not fail the specific criteria cited by the person who removed it. --Ryan Utt 00:34, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ethnic Composition

re: person who replaced "white" w/ "European American" and "black" w/ "African American"

I reversed the changes so that the lahs page reflects the wording of the source material. If you feel really strongly about it then we can talk about how to reconcile the wording of the source with what is an arguably more politically correct wording. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryan Utt (talk • contribs) 05:36, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
