Talk:Capistrano Valley High School

What NOT to include in this article (and what TO include)
Greeting editors!

Before adding or re-adding any content to this article, allow me to make some big suggestions based on some past experience I have had:

1. Go visit WikiProject Schools to get a feel for what Wikipedia is looking for in articles about schools. There are a great many things that you can research and include, but there are many things that you may passionately feel are important, and simply don't belong in an encyclopedia article. Remember, this is not your school's homepage ... it is an encyclopedia article about your school.

2. Specifically check out:  What not to include. This section outlines things that, even if you think they are important, will likely get deleted eventually, and would likely not hold up if the article gets sent to arbitration. Among the things not to include are events of short term importance like this year's musical, who caught a winning touchdown, how far the team made it in the basketball playoffs (unless it was like a top 4 finish or something like that), the names of coaches or teachers (unless they are otherwise notable), the member os the 4x100 relay team, etc, etc. These are all either unencyclopedic, or are matters of short term interest.

3. Consider having this article reassessed by either the folks at WikiProject Schools, or at WikiProject Southern California. They can be reached by the big links at the top of this Talk Page. People associated with the project will reassess the article, and will give suggestions for improvement. This may help more specifically guide editors as to what needs to be added and what needs to be removed.

Please don't take this personally. I sense there was a great deal of pride for this school, and a great deal of information to include. Make sure that you cite what you add, and that it is within guidelines.

Best of luck! LonelyBeacon 05:23, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Fine arts section
Last paragraphs are in present tense, and provide too much information to stay correct long term. It also appears to praise it too much for neutrality. I myself am not a good wiki writer so I have not made edits. 72.219.145.211 (talk) 16:01, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
