What's going on?
For some time, a dispute has been on Taylor Allderdice High School. The discussion is about whether or not the school endorses the content of a student newspaper known as Foreword. User:Hiding has repeatedly deleted information given by User:0-0-0-Destruct-0 under the claim of WP:OR policy violation. But, 0-0-0-Destruct-0 considers to have the sufficient evidence that shows this information is not original research. The school chose the specific content, cited by 0-0-0-Destruct-0, from the student newspaper to reproduce under its own, separate corporate authorship in 1) its own periodical, "The Allderdice 51," and 2) its web site. 0-0-0-Destruct-0's position is that this corporate author endorses the contents of its publications, which content may then be used to source the corporate author's views.

What would you like to change about that?
Just to solve the situation civilly, without having to go to ArbCom for such a little and content-specific discussion, as User:Hiding has suggested.
