Talk:Elsinore High School

Good start

Great start. In particular, I love the infobox. I think you still need more in terms of citations from reliable sources that establish notability of the subject. As I mentioned before, Wikipedia:Notability (high schools) is a good place to start. —mako๛ 22:26, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

• Rather shaky start given the thousands of school articles available as examples. I see nothing special about the infobox. Raw coords are pointless - they should always be in a {{coord}} tag. How about a photo? Please learn proper markup for lists - <br/> is not needed. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:48, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

@RHaworth: Thanks for helping with the coordinates. I was referring to the presence of an infobox is useful. It's obviously been a long time for you but figuring out templates at all is complicated for most newbies. —mako๛ 23:53, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello Jaitlin206, I just reviewed your article and I really liked what you have done so far. My article is also about a High School and yours seems much more organized than mine. I really like the table of contents that you have created on the left side of the page. I am trying to do the same thing on my page, but it is a little difficult. I realized how challenging it is to do an article about a High School on Wikipedia because my article is in trouble and might get deleted if I don't fix it soon. Good luck with yours!

Article is back

Great! The article is back now. Before you move back to the "(Article)" namespace you need to both (a) write some text so this reads more like an encyclopedia article rather than a list and (b) add some references to establish notability (see WP:HIGHSCHOOL). —mako๛ 23:48, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Article Overhaul

@Jaitlin206: I've just overhauled the article and I think it's much better now. The long quote from the principle, although attributed, seemed inappropriate and potentially on the wrong side of a WP:COPYVIO. It's gone now. There were also remaining concerns about neutral point of view in terms of the tone (you are obviously very excited about the subject) and lingering concerns about references. I think I've help address both significantly. I did a search on Lexis Nexus and added a number of references and came across a few new factoids and other pieces of information that a good encyclopedia article should probably have. It's all added now. I've also created a notable alumni section with references to a few people whose connection to the high school I came across while searching the news archives. —mako๛ 19:13, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
