Wu Tang Woodson High School
Hello, I've noticed that you recently added "Wu Tang Woodson High School" as a name for Wilbert Tucker Woodson High School. While there's nothing wrong with including alternate names for places, they must be properly cited with reliable sources. If you want more information, you can read the reliable sources link above, or look on the talk page for Woodson: Talk:Wilbert Tucker Woodson High School. Thanks!

Re: While I accept that sources must be cited for a vast majority of information, I must also draw to your attention the fact that I do not see a citation of the name Wilbert Tucker Woodson High School on the page either. If you are unable to provide reliable sources then it stands to reason that you are as equally unable to prove the true name of the school as I am. However, if you wish to admit that no citation is needed for your name for the school, is only logical that that none shall be required for mine. If you are able to provide a source for the name that you believe the school should be called, then I would love to provide one for mine as well. Im sure you wouldn't want to be a victim of hypocrisy and double standards (: Thanks!! Swedishftw 17:09, 10 May 2009


 * The difference is that Wilbert Tucker Woodson is the official name of the school. Wu Tang Woodson is at best a nickname. You don't need a cite that George Washington was indeed actually named "George Washington", but if you were going to say that he was commonly known by the nickname "Bubba", you would need a cite. Do you see the distinction? FlamingSilmaril (talk) 21:25, 10 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Sir, I must apologize, but I am afraid I do not. As an FCPS student, yet one who does not attend "Wu-Tang Woodson", I have no actual proof of the real name. Can you prove to me that the school's name is Wilbert Tucker Woodson High School? I thought not, at least not without citing a source. And yet, you are missing the point of what I am attempting to explain. I merely wish to explain to you that regarding names, citations are simply not needed. You certainly cannot disprove that it is not called "Wu-Tang Woodson", just as I cannot disprove that it is called Wilbert Tucker Woodson. All I see is a school, which has the popular nickname amongst FCPS employees "Wilbert Tucker Woodson" and the popular nickname amongst students of the school "Wu-Tang Woodson". I also can't help but notice that many "Notable Alumni" of the school are not cited either. Am I to believe that they are just "Bubba's" (If I may) as well? Either cite ALL sources, or only cite those where further checking and confirmation are required to corroborate a specific detail. Might I humbly suggest the latter.Swedishftw 17:33, 10 May 2009

I am a student at Wu-Tang Woodson High School, and I can attest to the veracity of this nickname. Do we need a citation to call Edwin Eugene Aldrin, Jr. 'Buzz', as opposed to his given name, or to call Eric Lynn Wright 'Eazy-E'? Neither, then, do we need a citation for Wu-Tang Woodson. The students of the Wu have provided ample evidence of this claim. InspectahTAC (talk) 21:34, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

As a student at W(u).T(ang). Woodson I must point out that the citation for the school's infamous nickname originated in an interview with the Honorable Michael Hill concerning the true meaning of the W.T.. The interview can be found in the 2008 copy of the W.T. Woodson yearbook.--TripleBlackMomba (talk) 22:46, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

As I am aware Flaming Silmaril (I would like to see a citation proving that this is truly what you are called)attends the Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. This school competed in the 2009 Virginia Scholastic Rowing Championship this last saturday as did W(u) T(ang) Woodson. When W(u) T(ang) Woodson's Mens 3rd took second place(beating TJ by 15 seconds I might add) the chant that erupted from the crowd was "Wu Tang", you sir may ask your classmates of a rowing persuasion if they heard this chant. However judging by their performance they were probably very far away from the awards dock. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Helltoupe925 (talk • contribs) 00:48, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

I, the Inspectah, also row for Wu-Tang Woodson, on the 2nd 8. Ask any TJ rower even within earshot of the awards dock, and they can tell you about the mighty cries of Wu! Tang! Wu! Tang! InspectahTAC (talk) 01:46, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
