Talk:Ketchikan High School

Source Reliability
Recently several sections of the article were deleted because of a lack of citations. I restored those sections while removing some outdated original research, and I added citations for each section. The banner at the top of the article also stated that there were potential problems with source reliability and overuse of primary sources. I know that the principal and counselors update the school website frequently, so I don't know what problem there might be with that source's reliability. I will continue to look for other sources that can be used for this article, but it seems to me there probably aren't going to be many other sources reporting the general details of a high school other than the high school's own website. In the meantime, I have removed the banner. I believe the article is now adequately sourced, although again I will continue to work on improving the sources.

Lousy photo
Can't even see what the high school looks like. This is a building, not a person. Surely a better photo can be found? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.138.88.58 (talk) 05:19, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Sticking a "lousy photo" in the article is usually a good way to motivate someone to do something to correct it. Ketchikan appears to be a special case, however.  The overwhelming majority of photos of Ketchikan on Commons were taken by cruise ship tourists, who have no desire or obligation to recognize landmarks beyond what they're spoon-fed by the tourism operators they deal with.  We might possibly have locals contributing to these projects, but obviously they haven't saw fit to pick up the slack.  I don't have time to check to confirm this, but I don't believe there's a single photo of the West End on Commons that was taken on the ground.  I scanned a small handful of historical photos several years ago, but they're of the old high school downtown, which burned down in 1976.
