Talk:Monte Vista High School (Danville, California)

just help delete...
"SRV is considered a better school than Monte Vista". I don't know whether it means in the school sport or if it's just being bias.

srv has lower test scores and iirc, mv also did better in sports. so from an academic/sport pov, MV is better than san ramon. however from a personal standpoint the generally attitude of srv was much better than mv. 76.25.115.99 06:33, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Marla Sokoloff
I don't believe Marla Sokoloff went to MV. She would have been '98 or '99 and according to her IMDB bio she moved to LA in '94. --MrCalifornia 00:31, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Bree Olsen
Can anyone confirm that Bree Olsen went to MV or is this just vandalism? --MrCalifornia 16:42, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

I know that her younger siblings have all gone to Monte Vista, however i can't confirm if she did. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.247.105.103 (talk) 20:53, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Neutral POV
This article has a serious lack of neutral POV, some of which I have tried to correct. It also has extensive amounts of unsourced information and also information that is probably unnecessary, such as the names of the players leading the sports teams. IMO, the article was clearly written by students or, more likely, parents of students at the school. The article should read like an encyclopedia, not a fan club for MV sports teams.

 * While you comment might have been from a while back, I left an NPOV tag on the main page. Also you are correct that the Athletics section is extremely length compared to the rest of the article (which there is almost nothing). -- Shakata Ga Nai  Talk 20:33, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Petition To Stop This Page From Being Edited By People Without Usernames
This page seems to attract one or more vandals, so I vote that a moderator place it under some sort of protection. If this isn't the place to make this case, I'm sorry, but I wasn't sure where to go. Tiger Khan (talk) 18:09, 12 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately thats not going to happen. Very few pages qualify for permanent protection, this is not one of them.  Also, simply from experience, I can tell you that admin's will not approve a semi-protect on this page because its not vandalized often enough or by different users.  In this case, we just have to deal with individual IP addresses that are vandalizing.  -- Shakata Ga Nai  Talk 20:37, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

No history?
How odd that such an historic school has no history section here. When Monte Vista opened in the mid '60s, its experiments -- e.g, no dress code, no bells or hall passes, weekly "open afternoon" -- were the talk of the education community. Students and faculty often saw observers from around the country visiting classrooms. And then the conservative local community forced out the superintendent who created it. But Wikipedia requires documentation, but that might be hard to find. TedC (talk) 20:00, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, everything should be verifiable. And unverifiable info may be removed. That would include the entire "athletics" section.   Will Beback    talk    04:31, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV
I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
 * This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
 * There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
 * It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
 * In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 15:23, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Does "Racial graffiti" fall under WP:NOTNEWS?
There is a question whether this edit should belong on this page or not. One editor believes it doesn't as per WP:NOTNEWS. I believe it extends beyond that guideline. Let's discuss. roguegeek (talk·cont) 03:47, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * New content that is disputed stays out until there is a concensus. I've removed it pending a concensus. It is on you, to convince me and any other interested editors that this belongs, not the other way around. So please by all means explain how something that happened yesterday doesn't fall under NOTNEWS. John from Idegon (talk) 06:23, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * As per DR, I don't see anywhere it says disputed content automatically gets removed, but if you point me to policy that does, you can go ahead and remove it. Either way, it sounds like we need more editors on this. Be that as it may and how it pertains to NOTNEWS, it is 1) not original reporting, 2) not some routine announcement and has enduring notability in that it's an effect of a larger, systemic issue and has continued to escalate, 3) is not focused on an individual, and 4) n/a here as per #3. roguegeek (talk·cont) 09:13, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
