probably the biggest waste of space ever. who uses the word vaunted? btw, i am a notable alumni, place kickers are not.

As there is no official state MUN conference in florida, the team could not have won it. (Reflects a past version)

probably the biggest waste of space ever seen on a talk page, who leaves crap reflecting a past version on here, it's written like a pesonal attack anyway and it's not signed. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 01:24, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Piratebannerpchs101.jpg

Image:Piratebannerpchs101.jpg 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Stub Class Rating

Perhaps the rating of this artical should be re evaluated, it has been expanded in many ways since it was first rated. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 23:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment

I've removed the list of teachers and the whole section on the school cafe, both of which are inappropriate for a school article. From the information provided the article cannot be anything more than low importance at present and it barely qualifies as a start. Have a look at the WP Schools page for ideas on the type of content which should be included in school articles. Dahliarose (talk) 12:28, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PCHS_logo.jpg

I don't quite understand why it is reverted whenever someone places one of our mascot images on this article. Am I missing something? GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 00:26, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Home of the Pirates"

In the introduction, it says "It is the home of the Pirates". Maybe this is something that is immediately obvious to everybody in the United States (though I doubt it), but it's so much Greek to me. What or who are "the Pirates"? I'm guessing some sort of sports team - please clarify in the article. --Bonadea (talk) 17:26, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

      • Point well taken, the "Pirate" is the mascot of PCHS, not just a sports team. Many schools, including ours, call them selves the home of their mascot, making PCHS the "Home of the Pirates", Charlotte High School (CHS) of Punta Gorda the "Home of the Fighting Tarpons", and Felix Varela Senior High School over in Miami the "Home of the Vipors". But as some people across the globe are probably not familiar with this, it's better to say "PCHS' mascot is the Pirate". Did that clear everything up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk • contribs) 04:06, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Clubs and activities

Why are the three clubs in the article right now (MUN, Key Club, and NJROTC) notable enough to have entire sections in this article? I believe that they aren't that much more notable than the rest of the school's organizations. If they are notable, then I think that their notability should be displayed through reliable sources beyond the school website. So a newspaper article (not a press release) of coverage of that organization, or something else to that extent. What are other thoughts on this? Metros (talk) 19:14, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Please use a meta search engine like Excite or Dogpile because other search engines may not provide the same results. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk • contribs) 20:04, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

      • This concludes my search for sources citing the notability of PCHS Key Club, MUN, and NJROTC. MUN and NJROTC are notable. Key Club may not be as notable. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 20:10, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notable Alumni

Are college athletes at major universities notable alumni? —Preceding unsigned comment added by GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk • contribs) 01:51, 31 December 2007 (UTC)


I would not imagine college atheletes could be considered notable alumnuses. They have not achieved anything "notable" except for being in college. Secondly, they are too recent of a graduate to be considered a notable graduate. Thirdly, unless they have achieved some wide level of "celebrity" or fame, they cannot be considered notable.

[edit] Clean Up Tag

Does this article still require clean up, or is the clean up tag ready to be removed? GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 20:30, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Behavioral policies

Would a section about the school's behavioral policies be appropriate? GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 17:18, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Parent Reviews

Would it be NPOV to mention how PCHS has recieved more positive feedback at greatschools.net than CHS? GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 21:44, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Help desk has stated that it would not be appropriate. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 01:16, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
