Not the right school.[edit]

Looks like somebody copied a template from another school's page but never finished including the information for this school. The information needs to be corrected soon or the page should be deleted. W00ten 23:17, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete, I will correct info.


Partially corrected some of the latter info. 02:46, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


some crazy guy went in here and just added in all kinds of BS about the recent arrest here. I don't even know what he was thinking. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:3BD8:4D90:F91D:A260:9D2B:9A26 (talk) 08:13, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notability Question[edit]

How is this school Notable? Navou banter / review me 22:03, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They are the most decorated school in athletics and the arts in South Carolina history and had the preiminent high school band program in the country for most of a decade. Under visionary director Hampton Cobb, they introduced Drum & Bugle Corp-Style marching and music to the high school band scene in the mid 70s. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.4.65.129 (talk) 01:28, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Arrest incident[edit]

First off, I have no horse in this race. I've been watching this close since this blew up, but only to look out for what is going on now, edit warring, and for WP:BLP issues.

Initially, there was not much controversy over the content. Now there is. So please come here with your sources and work out what the content will be. Wikipedia is not the place to express your views on what happened. We only discuss what reliable sources have published. What goes in the article needs to be determined by consensus based on the sources. That consensus will be formed here. I've asked the admins to protect the article to force the issue here for discussion. I'll be happy to moderate as needed. I hope it's not needed at all.

I noticed the silly edit warring about the second student supposedly being arrested "for crying". I added a reference from CNN. The original article reads, "[the second girl] was arrested and accused of disturbing school after yelling and cursing at the officer, according to an incident report." An online article in The State (Charleston, SC newspaper) supports that with "[the second girl] stood up and protested, shouting loudly. The profanity she used was justified because of the severity of the situation, she said." (link is here [1]). And there's an NBC news article that says, "[the second girl], who admits that she was "using a few F-bombs" during the confrontation, said Fields is known in the school for being physical." [2].

This is all vastly different to an arrest for crying, which is what's being added. -- zzuuzz (talk) 15:13, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted the article back to prior to the insertion of the crap "inquister" source. Please stop all the reverts and discuss. Thanks. I see no problem to a short bit on the walkout. That had good sourcing also. John from Idegon (talk) 16:58, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am happy for the reason for arrest to be removed, as we don't really have the details (other than the obvious fact it wasn't only for crying). The walkout seems relevant, so feel free to restore it. -- zzuuzz (talk) 17:01, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The whole thing about the other student seems off the topic to me. Also, Neil916, would you mind restating your quote of the source to redact the girl's name? We don't need to add to this nobodies 15 minutes of fame. I believe it, even on a talk page, is a WP:BLP1E violation. Thanks. John from Idegon (talk) 17:21, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think the fact there was another student arrested at the same time is probably relevant. Though as I say, beyond being arrested for "disturbing schools" we don't have a great deal to go on at this time. -- zzuuzz (talk) 17:29, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
John from Idegon, I redacted the last name that was cut and pasted from the news stories; I don't think it was really necessary though. The second girl has not been shy about publicizing her name and the news article quotes here just used her last name in the snippets I included. zzuuzz re: different to an arrest for crying-- that was my point. It wasn't about crying, that was a made-up fact that Abductive is trying to add to the article. I think you misinterpreted my curt "here's your source" edit summary as being addressed to you, where it was actually addressed to Abductive. Neil916 (Talk) 19:05, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I doubt I misinterpreted it, and appreciate the amendment you made. User Abductive clearly has some neutrality issues on this topic. Such issues can normally be resolved by going to what the sources say, which is the point I was trying to get across. Clearly they don't, in part or in total, say she was arrested for crying. -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:29, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
