example, award winning
American Football coach Mickey Naish is certainly notable for his many sucesses and numerous Championship teams, however, Ray Segale was but the team's first coach and beloved Phyisical Education teacher, which I find less relevant. I find love and respect in my heart for all the Honored Teachers listed, but I am just not certain they belong in an encyclopedia environment. Before I take the time to work that section to follow the guidelines for prose, as I did the Notable Alumni section, I would like feedback as to whether I should take those Honored Teachers who are truly notable and incorportate them into a Notable Alumni and Teachers section and remove the Honored Teachers section.

are was only in reference to the fact that you were asserting that the student nicknames were commonly used, and there was no verifiable source. I would be more than willing to remove all "unverifiable" info in this article, but I think that there would be about 3 lines left, given the level of desired verification. I note that
Seattle Preparatory Academy has not been given this level of scrutiny, and find no verifiability in their page.--

I'm sorry, this whole thing seems to have gotten out of control. I am trying my best to make the facts accurate, according to school records. How do I verify those facts?

I am working on getting all information on this article checked and verified. When I do, I will cite the school, since that is the only verifiable source of this information.

Very well. I have no problem with the facts you assert being in this article, so long as you are able to justify them through an independent, verifiable source. Remember that this project is an encyclopedia, not just an amalgamation of facts. It's all well and good that the school has a fight song,

Look at other High

I added two sources I was able to track down (even the

As a proud graduate I have taken interest in this page, however, I am unsure that this article requires both a section for
Notable Alumni and Honored Past Teachers. Notable alumni should cover both, providing the teacher has accomplishments that reach beyond just the community of the school; for

Regarding the subject of nicknames of prominent students at this high school; Is it in some way inappropriate to list them as long as they are benign? As long as they are well-known nicknames, I assert that they should have a place in the article as long as the students themselves do.
689:
Funny that you think "snide little" is any better than "snotty little"Â :) Anyway, this is an encyclopedia. Flair is not one of
Knowledge (XXG)'s goals. I don't think these additions serve to bring anything out of the morass. If anything, they make Knowledge (XXG) look silly.
546:. A school should empower its students to become responsible citizens. (I had occasion to instruct a special class of 3rd graders last month, and I was impressed by how they held offices such as "mayor" and "treasurer".) I was hoping to make this point with my quotes above.

This is true for this article, at least potentially. This article is an encouragement for students to consolidate their knowledge, as defined above, and to interconnect it. (I am optimistic that it won't take long till someone inserts a link to Bishop

Sdeibert does have a point. Verifiability is an issue on
Knowledge (XXG), but ForbiddenWord, your time might be better spent addressing verifiability issues in a more important article than this one on a Seattle high school.
572:
It doesn't hurt. This is not a paper encyclopedia, which has to weigh each article's values against the weight of its paper. Even if every school in the world had an article, I don't see any problem that couldn't be solved

Sorry if I caused offense. However, it deeply concerns me that the point at issue with the article at present is the inclusion of nicknames, instead of the numerous verifiability issues with the article.
