Talk:Cannon School

Article style
I think that the style of the article needs to be changed a bit... it is almost completely made up of lists! 64.132.172.213 14:40, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

laptops
Once again give it time to sort out, the laptop program is very important about the school. Also it is valid to note how this program was abused and what is being done to prevent future abuse. If you don't like something about the laptop page discuss it here, do not delete it. I hope we can see eye to eye with each other. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.176.50.232 (talk) 20:36, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * See the WikiProject Schools page. "boasted that they would crack down" does not seem npov.  A mention of any specific game played is unneccessary and pertains only to students at the school.  If you feel some mention of a controversy is a appropriate, feel free to rewrite it in a neutral and appropriate tone.  A13ean 01:42, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I will see what I can do. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.176.50.232 (talk) 20:48, 24 September 2007 (UTC) How is it now?

look here RABID To those who censor the laptop section: taken directly from the vandalism page "nor are ... controversial changes vandalism" the information is controversial however that does not make it vandalism however removing information such as the controversy is vandalism as stated here "Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia." Onwards a non-neutral point of veiw is not vandalism as stated here "[a non-neutral point of view] is not vandalism in itself unless persisted in after being warned." so as it stands the laptop section stays how it currently is and any illogical removal will be considered vandalism.

um tron is valid when talking about cannonschool, maybe if more time was given to complete the article it would make sense and there would be no reason to remove it, just give it a couple of weeks and then come see how it turns out.


 * See WP:Original_Research. If you can provide a source other than yourself for the fact that Cannon pupils overwhelmingly play some specific game on their school laptops, it could be included.  A13ean 14:57, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi!
Lists, lists, lists.

And we need a picture! Tadpole515 17:22, 27 March 2007 (UTC)TADpole

okay... some of the paragraphs have now been de-listified. Achievements is the only one left. 17:22, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Controversy
This part should not be removed from the page. Wikipedia is not an advertizement for Cannon, it's a source for information. That is legitimate information about the school.

But does it need to be there? If there was an encyclopedia article about Cannon School, would it mention these things? I am well aware that Wikipedia is not an advertisement, but that doesn't mean that it is a place for everything negative about the school. The real issue here is whether this information is important and relevant. I wasn't the one to remove it, but I also wasn't the one to add it in. I can't really make up my mind, which is why I am letting others decide. But really, almost every school has had people kicked out. I think we should remove the part about "and five for honor offenses"... I mean, why don't we just go ahead and say how many students have been given detentions, how many have had to stay after school, or how many have recieved mean looks from teachers? I just don't think the info is necessary. Oh yeah, Bio is really the best place to edit this :P Rabidcentipede 12:07, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Negative history is relevant too. And anyway, an indecent relationship between a student and a teacher is a bit of a larger deal than every detention or mean looks from teachers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ftbllman (talk • contribs) 16:44, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes negative history is relevant, however the information presented should be something unique from other schools; for example the "student-teacher" incident.
