Talk:Ross Sheppard High School

That 1987 establishment date in the infobox needs to be double checked. After all, I graduated from Shep in 1980.

Notable alumni
Somebody identified as 75.174.138.211 removed two of my entries, Edmonton children's writer Willam Pasnak and jazz musician George McFetridge, from "Notable alumni". Apparently only SPORTS FIGURES and people who graduated after 2000 are notable? . McFetridge and Pasnak are equally worthy of note, despite being old-timers. I even went to the trouble of providing CITATIONS for verification, WHICH NOBODY ELSE HAS BOTHERED TO DO. Graywriter (talk) 00:26, 8 November 2020 (UTC)


 * The key word is notable alumni. In short, if they don't have a standalone article on Wikipedia, they shouldn't be on the list. —C.Fred (talk) 00:45, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * And Pasnak does not have an article, so he has been removed from the list. Further, I didn't see where the cited source showed that he attended Shep. —C.Fred (talk) 01:04, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

Okay, somebody ELSE just took off info about Myrna Kostash, a Ross Shep grad who is probably one of Alberta's most famous writers. What's the deal here? You can include information about a model, a bunch of sports people, and some young chick singer but for a famous writer it just says "writer"? No recourse or explanation? If people do this all the time, it really frustrates those of us who spend time and effort to improve a section.Graywriter (talk) 00:32, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * It would be one thing if it had mentioned a specific award. However, the list should really just be a summary. (I mean, consider how little is said for Gretzky!) —C.Fred (talk) 00:42, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
