== WikiProject class rating== |

This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as stub, and the rating on other projects was brought up to Stub class. [[User:BetacommandBot|BetacommandBot]] 14:07, 9 November 2007 (UTC) |

== Merge proposal == |
|||
I've added a merge proposal for [[Mills Robotics Team]], it has already been mentioned on that article's [[Talk:Mills Robotics Team|talk page]] before and it does not seem to be sufficiently notable itself. [[User:Snigbrook|Snigbrook]] ([[User talk:Snigbrook|talk]]) 01:14, 18 November 2007 (UTC) |

:Agree, it should be merged. [[User:Zedla|Zedla]] ([[User talk:Zedla|talk]]) 05:23, 27 January 2008 (UTC) |

== The camera in the girls' bathroom incident == |
|||
I just deleted six paragraphs worth of uncited text about a faculty member who allegedly put a camera in a girls' bathroom. The only reference given [http://www.examiner.com/a-1349514~Teacher_who_allegedly_taped_girls_in_school_bathroom_quits.html] was before he was sentenced, so all it states is that he resigned. |
|||
There are two major issues here. The first is that, under [[WP:BLP]], information about living people '''must''' be backed up with reliable sources. From that standpoint, I think we can say that a teacher has resigned over ''allegations'' that he hid a camera, but not that he hid a camera (depending on what other sources say). |
|||
My second concern is [[WP:UNDUE|undue weight]]. Roughly a quarter of the vertical length of the article was taken up by coverage of the person. If it's framed within the context of the school, I could see a well-written paragraph being warranted—even if it's one paragraph by itself in a Controversies section. If ''independent'' sources show it was a major controversy at the school, then expanding the coverage along those lines is warranted. However, it doesn't warrant six paragraphs under such a fleeting heading as "In the news". —'''[[User:C.Fred|C.Fred]]''' ([[User_talk:C.Fred|talk]]) 13:53, 22 February 2009 (UTC) |

== "Academic excellence" == |
|||
How does coming in 529th imply excellence in anything? Not a single one of the sources listed used the word Excellence. This is an encyclopedia. We deal in facts. If ''in fact'' being 516th, 529th or 816th actually showed excellence, you wouldn't need the weasel words to point that out. If it isn't [[WP:WEASEL]] (which it is), then it is [[WP:SYNTH]] and it still doesn't belong. Please tell me how you figure it isn't weasel?
