Talk:Berkeley High School (Berkeley, California)/Archive 1

Notable Faculty
I am removing the notable faculty portion of this article because it doesn't make sense to have it for an article of this type. Highschool teachers are rarely encyclopedia noteworthy, and that holds true in this case as well (none of "award winning AP teacher", a citation in an article about the highschool graduation, or the brother of a terrorist are encyclopedia worthy). 74.132.213.87 06:08, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Needs photos
How are there no photos of the school in this article? I'll try to take a picture when I get the chance, but it might be a while, and so if anyone has non-copyrighted photos to upload, please do so. This article really ought to have more than one, although it currently has nothing more than the logo. — Emiellaiendiay 07:57, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I've just learned of a Wiki policy, perhaps new, that disallows linking to external photos. The reasons for this are nonsensical, and leave me wondering if there are other unstated reasons.  With this policy, Wiki will be a relative photo desert, especially with respect to historical photos.  Dumb, dumb, dumb. Tmangray (talk) 04:30, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Article Fixing
1) There was more than one alternative school at Berkeley High.

2) Article needs to discuss Berkeley High School role in the 1960s riots and demonstrations (it was very active.)

3) The location of the school is irrelevant to 99.999% of Wiki readers, and the fact it's landmark is misleading, since there are hundreds of them in the Wiki article cited: most of which the city residents have no idea are considered "landmarks".

4) The relationship with U. of California at Berkeley should be examined, since at one point advanced students from BHS were sent there.
