Dear Editor,As an actual student at Conestoag, I need to inform you that the revisions I made are legitimate. Some of the nicknames have actually been published in our school paper, the Spoke, and the section on the Genovese scandal is true, the school refused to let us publish it.

I hate George's writing style. Miserlou 20:04, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

141.152.252.232 14:50, 23 August 2006 (UTC) While I'm am aware that Conestoga has a drug problem, it also happens that there is a tradition of lying on those drug quizzes, at least in the middle schools.[reply]

Out of curiosity, who added me to this page? I guess it should provide some info if anyone googles me, so thanks. Just a bit puzzled though, its not like I was the only chess player recognized by the state last year(or even the best one). James Kennedy

Genovese[edit]

The school keeps deleting all references to this. It should stay. Miserlou 01:10, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

how do you know it's the school? and i think it should go just to get rid of all the trouble. -Colorfulharp233 19:54, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I say it stays. -[[User: —Preceding unsigned comment added by NASAlandedonthemoon (talk • contribs) 22:40, January 7, 2007

Agreed. The anonymous editor who insists on removing this sourced information has made no attempt to discuss this edit. The info is sourced and while it does paint a bad picture for the school it does because it's a negative fact and not because we are inserting a negative POV. Deal with it. --ElKevbo 04:12, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, Genovese has a source... but... the illegal drugs claim does not. WhisperToMe 04:23, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If this page is about Conestoga High School, then it should contain relevant information about the school. Not some event, that happened a couple years ago, as newsworthy as it may have been at the time. It serves no purpose to the school, nor to people interested in researching the school. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Luckycharm5780 (talk • contribs) 21:22, January 23, 2007

I disagree. That a teacher was, in the recent past, convicted or pedophilia is relevant to the school's article. --ElKevbo 02:30, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Information such as academic standing, course offerings, notable achievements, sports, clubs, etc. are all things that are valid and should be noted in this article. The actions of some former teacher do nothing but reflect negativity on the school. It doesnt belong here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Luckycharm5780 (talk • contribs) 20:00, January 29, 2007

The actions on an institution's employees, particularly when those actions are completely contrary to the person's professional ethics, are appropriate topics in an encyclopedia article about that institution. It's unfortunate and there may not have been any way for the institution to know but the fact remains that a high school teacher was convicted of "a misdemeanor charge of corruption of a minor for having sexual contacts [with a 16 year old girl]." --ElKevbo 01:25, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The goal of wikipedia is not to reflect positively on the school. If there is a relevant claim with a verifying source, it should be included. Miserlou 05:48, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Triva section correction[edit]

The Pioneer prank where he was abducted and photographed was carried out by the class of 91 rather than in "the late 90's". Photos were actually published in The Spoke.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.91.83.33 (talk • contribs) 21:43, May 8, 2007
