Overloading the lede, too much arcane detail, exhausting writing style

Please help resolve the conflict about Alansohn's overloading ledes with details like "student–teacher ratio of 16.9:1" and how many students qualify for free lunches. This sort of information is arcane and changes a lot in the cours of months. I think it has its merits, but it certainly doesn't belong in the lede. In general, Alansohn continues to overwrite NJ high school articles with trivia and minor athletic information, making the pages unreadable, and refusing to accept improvements. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 23:25, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As can be seen from the symbol at the upper right at this version of this article, Union City High School has been a Good Article for a decade. I was not the main editor when it was granted Good Article status, I was not the editor who engaged in the back-nd-forth article reviews and I still am not the primary editor of this article. As you can see, the version of the article from February 2014 had the exact same details about accreditation and enrollment, which has remained in the same state other than updates made as new data became available from the National Center for Education Statistics. In order to reach the Good Article status it has retained for the past ten years, the article was reviewed with a very fine toothed comb and dozens of changes, clarifications and source additions were made, none of which related to the content or structure of the lead section about which you have raised concerns. I hope you can accept this model for other such school articles. Alansohn (talk) 23:35, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

why is Deborah Short cited here as an authority?

Is she really such an authority? Here is some info about Short, which is ok, but why is she being used as a promo voice here? It looks a lot like advertising. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 18:16, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted. If someone wants to claim that this is not promo-motivated, then pls explain how or why Ms. Short should be considered a neutral point of view. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 09:11, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Promo pix with no information content

This picture is so generic that it serves no purpose except promotion. I deleted it, but User:Alansohn thinks it is worth inclusion. Other opinions? -- Melchior2006 (talk) 07:28, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
