Comment
I noticed that there was a bit of a commotion over the RCAA article. It does appear that the information was pretty ancient, so it would be good to start things over from scratch. However, the article isn't really supposed to be controlled by the school itself. The article should be neutral, and should avoid first person commentary and mission statement language. Neutral point of view is the relevant policy page. (That said, I'm sure you can find plenty of school pages that ignore the policy. Things are very inconsistent around here. But ideally, articles should be as neutral as possible.)

I'll let someone else make a decision about the block. I just wanted to make sure you understood what the problem was. Even if you're not unblocked, you can help us work through issues with the article on this talk page. I did go ahead and remove some material that seemed out of date; many of those sections have been unchanged for years. Zagal e jo^^^ 05:47, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

We wanted the wikipage to reflect the Current School Structure
Thanks for the changes but there is really no information about the school on the page now. Please allow me to edit.

Want our wiki page to look like this one
This is what my goal is for updating this wiki page -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwendolyn_Brooks_College_Preparatory_Academy
 * It's good to focus on school history. You can sketch some things out below while the block is still up in the air. Zagal e jo^^^ 02:47, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
 * That's great if it's your goal - however, nobody from that institution was involved in that article, as per WP:COI - why do you insist on wanting to do so with this one? The founder of Wikipedia has stated that those with COI should only ever suggest edits on the article talkpage, not edit the article itself (✉→BWilkins ←✎) 09:55, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

School Brochure for update
If someone could please review the information posted on the school brochure and update -> Roberto Clemente Community Academy Brochure

http://rccachicago.org/resources/documents/clemente-downloads/brochures/7-roberto-clemente-community-academy-brochure

Thanks
 * Is the website's information about the IB program and JROTC up-to-date? I was thinking about a way to summarize the academic programs. I noticed that IB isn't discussed in the brochure, and JROTC is only briefly mentioned.
 * In my opinion, I think school articles would be better off without long lists of clubs. (That also goes for the Brooks article and others like it.) Maintenance can become a problem, since school clubs often come and go. Besides, most high schools have a lot of the same clubs and sports. It would be better to highlight things that are unique to the school. For example, the Radio/ TV Broadcasting program is something that would be good to include in the article. You won't find something like that at every school. Zagal e jo^^^ 04:11, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Great! Thank you for helping. Below is more information about our academic programs.

IB -> Clemente is a IB Candidate School the language has to be exact to comply with IB guideline. The link has information has more about IB, it may be rewritten a bit so it fits the article guidelines.

Culinary Arts Broadcasting JROTC

Thanks again.

 * Could you clarify what you mean by "the language has to be exact to comply with IB guideline"? I don't want to step on someone's toes here. As I interpret things, the school is hoping to offer the IB program by 2015, but is waiting to be formally authorized to do so. Is that correct? Zagal e jo^^^ 20:16, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

We cannot say we have the the accredited IB program but we can say we are an IB candidate school.

For example when describing the IB program at Clemente we can say:

Roberto Clemente Community Academy applications for candidacy for the Diploma Programme and Middle Years Programme at have been accepted. Roberto Clemente Community Academy is recognized as an IB candidate school for the Diploma Programme and Middle Years Programme as of September 1, 2013. Roberto Clemente Community Academy is a candidate school for the Diploma Programme and Middle Years Programme. Our school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy - a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education - that Roberto Clemente Community Academy believes is important for all of our students.

To describe what IB is we can use the information found in here

Thank you to everyone who is helping update this article

 * I added a short summary of some things. Do you know any good sources for information on the school's history (or Tuley's history)? I can probably dig up some things, but I was wondering if you knew anything useful. (Incidentally, my mom went to Tuley, back in the day.) Zagal e jo^^^ 04:29, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Your school's brochure is not a reliable source, and cannot be used. Indeed, it's merely showing your continued desire to spam the project and edit contrary to WP:COI. Also, you are blocked - requesting people to exit-by-proxy is inappropriate, and will lead to the removal of your access to this page (✉→BWilkins ←✎) 11:46, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Don't know how else to help get this article updated, it seems like there are some users that are willing to help and understand what we are trying to do. I have looked at a ton of other schools wiki pages and I am trying to update the same info that they have on their pages.
