Talk:Madera South High School

Cleanup tags

@Onel5969: Is there any specific reason for the {{npov}} tag that you added to this article? Jarble (talk) 20:58, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Jarble - absolutely. First, the fact that the entire article is unsourced makes what might be innocuous statements if they came from independent sources, color the article in a favorable light towards the school. We're told it was to ease overcrowding, how do we know it wasn't because somebody's brother-in-law needed the work, and the school wasn't completely unneeded? How do we know that initial construction stopped in 1992 because the budget was limited, and not because someone didn't pocket most of the funds? More specifically, terms like "featured", and "customized", and "career schools" give the high school the appearance of enhancement. Finally, phrases like "Madera South High School offers many athletic opportunities", "The Agriculture Department is the crowning jewel ...", and "Madera FFA has experienced eighty seven years of excellence" are clearly promotional and subjective in tone. I came upon the article while doing my daily vandalism patrol, and THIS EDIT came up. Assuming good faith, I marked the edit as innocent, because the link to the school's website is for registered users only, so I could not verify. I would have edited the article, but really have no interest in the school, and felt that someone who cared more about the school might do a better job, so I placed the tag to alert other editors. Hope this explains it. Onel5969 (talk) 22:21, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
