Should there be sources and citations?!

The article needs work and sources Taos High School has been a member of the New Mexico Activities Association since 1924.

The first boy's basketball team was organized for the 1923-1924 season. The first football team was organized in 1937.

It was a charter member of the Northern Rio Grande Conference established in 1947, competing for conference championships in football, boy's basketball, baseball and track. They remained members of the NRGC through the 1962-1963 school year.

Should this piece be allowed to be used in the article? it seems pointless.. The Taos Tigers won their first Northern Rio Grande Conference (NRGC) football championship in 1951, pummeling the Espanola Hornets 58-0. They won their first boy's basketball NRGC championship in 1948, also by defeating the Espanola Hornets. Their first baseball NRGC championship was during the 1951 season. Martinez07 (talk)

Content dispute

There is currently a content dispute over parts of this article. Instead of reverting back and forth, please discuss the article here. Aleta 03:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Current unnecessary information in the article includes:

• • "The economy of the district is based on tourism, forestry, public sector agencies/industries and ranching. Taos is also an arty colony with more than 100 art galleries. This multi-cultural, richly diverse community produces resilient and creative students highly sought after major colleges and universities. (Also POV) The community is alive with history and culture. (POV) Taos is bordered by the Rio Grande and the Taos Plateau to the west, and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the north. Kit Carson Road begins at Paseo del Pueblo Sur near Taos Plaza and runs east, turning to U.S. Highway 64 as it heads towards Angel Fire. Most activity, centers around the Plaza, with museums, restaurants, hotels and Kit Carson Park in wasy walking distance.

Also, Taostiger continue to remove the unreferenced template, despite it being readded by Aleta, Mears man, and myself. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 03:30, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I have posted a request at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject New Mexico#Taos High School for editors from that project to come give input into the content dispute and to help with references, if they can. Aleta 03:44, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

COMMUNITY INFORMATION

It is the choice of the students involved in this article to connect THEIR community to the high school. If they feel that the community is an important component to the school, then they should be allowed to provide information they would like to share about THEIR community.--Taostiger (talk) 03:43, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

With edits & edit summaries like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7 Taostiger seems to have major ownership issues. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 03:45, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Taostiger, I think the problem here is that other editors feel the community discussion strays to far from the actual subject of the article. Other articles more focussed on the community can be linked from this article, but some of the information is not really about the school itself. Aleta 03:47, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

The article is focused on the high school. Just because one paragraph out of several talking about the community in which the high school is located constitutes a different focus? Once again, the students don't separate the school from the community and someone else from somewhere else is telling them they have to?--Taostiger (talk) 03:56, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

It's not just the community information that is unnecessary. That information belongs in the Taos, New Mexico article. When writing on WP, one should only talk about the actual subject in the article. Also, how do you explain sentences like " This multi-cultural, richly diverse community produces resilient and creative students highly sought after major colleges and universities." Where is your proof that these students are sought after by major colleges and universities? AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 03:59, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Taostiger, if the information in the paragraph was relevant to the school, there wouldn't really be a problem with its inclusion. However, the entire paragraph (with the possible exception of the first sentence) is not about the school, but the community in which the school is located. It is fine to mention that the school is located in this community, but the rest of the information is not suitable for this page, although it may be appropriate for the Taos, New Mexico page. If people are interested in the community surrounding the school, they can click on the link to the Taos, New Mexico article and read about it there. —Mears man (talk) 04:20, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Los Alamos High School, "The strength of LAHS's academic record is largely attributed to the academic record of Los Alamos County which has among the most PhD's per capita in the United States".

Los Lunas High School, "Los Lunas High School is known throughout the area for its emphasis on Athletics, and more recently, on Performing Arts"

Santa Fe High School, "However, there is racial tension at the school because the more affluent white population has displaced the Hispanic and Native American families living in the city to some extent."

All three of the above mentioned articles do not have citations and are just as subjective as the sentence you've chosen to compare Taos High School. I'd like to believe that there is consistency, is there????? --Taostiger (talk) 04:19, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Page protection

Because of continued edit warring, I have fully protected the article for two days. Please use this time to discuss potential improvements to the article here. Aleta 03:50, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

This works just fine. We as a group will also decide whether this is worth the counter-productivity that has arisen. If this is the case, we request that contributions made under this profile be permanently deleted from the article.--Taostiger (talk) 04:02, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Taostiger, are you a group of people acting under one name? Aleta 04:19, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes --Taostiger (talk) 04:20, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
