Thivierr removed the link that acknowledged that San Mateo High School students were members of "The Junior Executives," a punk rock era band that was "connected" to other better-known bands at the time, and whose founding member M. A. Lucas went on to release influential music anthologies and also founded the popular San Francisco band "The Phantom Sufers" in later years. Perhaps Thivierr didn't recognize the band as being well-known enough to retain recognition at the SMHS Wiki entry, but evidently this person is not an SMHS alumnus, and assumedly doesn't know the context or significance of the band. I will re-introduce this brief acknowledgement when I'm able and would truly appreciate it if Thivierr and others would kindly respect the entry and not take it upon themselves to censor according to their own personal preferences or lack of perspective. The entry was hardly an irresponsible blight on the page, nor was it a prank. Thanks for your respectful understanding. - D.

[edit] Quiz Kids

personally i think we should put the Quiz Kids section as there is a marching band section—Preceding unsigned comment added by Estarrol (talkcontribs) 01:09, 8 May 2008

That would be interesting, Tenten-senpai (talk) 01:21, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Just because there's a marching band section isn't a good reason why a Quiz Kids section should be added. I'm not against adding one but there should be sufficient material to explain why QK is significant at the school (winning awards, winning streak, civic role, etc.) as verifiable against reliable sources. Adding the names of team members, captains, or teachers is generally unsuitable (Wikipedia is not a directory particularly of non-notable names) – Zedla (talk) 02:09, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
