School articles and encyclopedias in general
You need to understand something. Seminole High School (Pinellas County, Florida) is not SHS's page on Wikipedia, like perhaps the school's Facebook page. This is an independent encyclopedia article about the school. Encyclopedias by nature do not write about any given subject. Instead, we write about what is written about the given subject in reliable independent sources. The article is not here to convey what the students staff or alumni of the school want known about the school. Here's a bulletin for you. Absolutely no one outside the school community cares what plays the theatre department has produced. No one cares who the teacher is. No one anywhere cares about the names of any of the students. School articles have guidelines. These represent a wide general consensus as to what should and shouldn't be in an article. Further, content decisions are established by consensus, which is decided by discussion on the article's talk page, backed up by reliable sources and informed by policy. If someone removes content with an explanation, it is never proper to replace it. If you don't understand why, you make a polite enquiry on the editor's talk page. If you disagree, you start a discussion on the article's talk page and try to establish a consensus as described above. Opinions are pretty much irrelevant. What matters is the quality of sources and what they say. Wikipedia is not part of the school's social media, it is not an extension of the school's website, and it is not a substitute for a particular activity's website. By the way, we do not list external links for activity websites either. One last thing: all the things I've mentioned we shouldn't do are present in some other articles. That too is irrelevant. Wikipedia has higher standards now than they did earlier in their history and articles get fixed as they are noticed. If you have any questions feel free to drop me note on my talk page. Meanwhile, I'll leave you some links that may help you understand Wikipedia better (also, every blue word is a link you should read). Thanks.

At the end of each message you will see a signature left by the editor posting. This is done by signing with four tildes ( ~ ) or by pressing or  in the editing interface toolbox, located just above the editing window (when editing). You won't need to sign your contributions to articles themselves; you only need to when using talk pages. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance.
