Talk:Lemon Bay High School/Archive 1

Protected
Due to the recent edit warring this page has been protected for. Please use the time to discuss the matter here and come to a consensus on what should and shouldn't be included on the page. If an urgent edit needs to be made during the protection, please place the template editprotected here with details of the edit that needs to be made and justification for the edit, and an administrator will come by to make the edit. If you have agreed and resolved the dispute before the expiry of the protection, please make a listing at requests for unprotection. While it is also possible to make such requests on my talk page, it would be quicker for you to use those previous methods. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 13:43, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Rural?
No offensive Lobot, but I don't think you know what you're talking about when you say "E-wood is rural." Englewood is an incorporated city, and it is classified as urban. Although I'm not sure exactly where the school is located, but I'm of the impression that the school is located in a suburb of Englewood. Oh yeah, try to settle your disputes out on this page rather than get into edit wars. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 02:45, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Not quite true. Englewood is an unincorporated Census-designated place with a year-round population of just over 16,000 people (snowbirds in the winter months swell that to around 33,000), hardly "urban". The school is located in Englewood itself, there are no suburbs, just the surrounding communities of North Port, Nokomis, Rotunda, El Jobean, General Development, and Boca Grande (some of which have larger populations than E-wood itself.) The closest urban agglomerations to Englewood are Sarasota and Fort Myers. Cheers. L0b0t (talk) 16:40, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Okay, but it's not rural either. A rural area is where you'll find corn fields (orange groves here in Florida) and cow pastures, not shopping plazas and subdivisions. Just ask my relatives who live out in Kentucky, West Virginia, Arizona, and North Dakota (I'm not actually going to give you their contact information, so don't ask).

Also note that the US DOE labels the school as suburban, not rural. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 04:11, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm thinking of nominating this article for deletion
This article is not showing any indication of notability, and it is almost entirely unreferenced. It has recently been a battle ground, and was fully protected for three days, and it appears that the edit warring may soon resume. I don't know, perhaps someone could get the attention of the rescue squadron if I nom this for deletion. This currently appears to be more trouble than it is worth and may be setting a bad example for newbie editors. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 02:59, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

I completely disagree. As for a number of things being unreferenced, a number of sections of this article could easily be attributed just by simply looking at a state-wide website regarding athletics, or a website regarding Model UN's success at competition, etc etc. I wish I had more time to do it myself, but in between thesis work, I can only update rarely. As for being ground for "edit wars," this article has seen very little conflict in comparison to a number of far more high-profile articles on Wikipedia, so I don't believe that to be a fair assessment, either. As for notability....well, why is listing this high school any less notable than your own noted high school, a state road, or any other various article on wikipedia?

 * I doubt that the article would have been deleted anyway since many articles are greatly improved when they are nominated for deletion. As far as my own school's notability, maybe I should nom it for deletion; that would probably be the easiest way to get it up to GA level. Hopefully this article can be a GA to at some point; I'd like to see all of Charlotte County's schools (except the supposedly non-notable elementary schools) have GAs or FAs.

I also disagree, none of the reasons listed above are valid at AfD and threatening to delete an article just because you want people to work on it sounds like a violation of WP:POINT to me. You really should check the edit history, I had 2 stalkers who were just blindly reverting several different editors across multiple articles. There was no edit warring here, just multiple people reverting petty, pointy, vandalism. Please check out
 * Suspected sock puppets/Yasis


 * Administrators' noticeboard/3RR


 * Administrators' noticeboard/3RRArchive76


 * Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive449

for the vandalism from the 216 range and
 * Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive449


 * Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive449

for vandalism from the 71. range. As noted by Riskbreaker, this article has had very little conflict compared many other articles. High schools are almost always considered notable by default and cleanup is not a reason to delete. Cheers. L0b0t (talk) 10:35, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll tell you what, I might try to look up some stuff about the three schools in the county and try to make each of them GAs or FAs before summer's over. I'll probably be on full wiki-break when school starts. SOund good? GO-PCHS-NJROTC  (Messages) 06:47, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Reference to school's main page
Someone recently used the school's main page as a reference to a bit of information (s)he added. May I recommend finding a different source as home pages change frequently. PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 21:30, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
