Talk:List of high schools in Colorado

Schools List

Lists are a good source of information. However they may be dated and can sometimes be replaced by categories. Victuallers 09:20, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Please review the guideline at Wikipedia:Lists (stand-alone lists) for information regarding the reasoning for my recent savage cull of this article. - brenneman 01:47, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

To administrators, should this come up-I posted at watkinsian's talkpage, warning him of a 3RR violation, at which point he placed a retaliatory 3RR posting at my own talkpage. watkinsian has been making edits on this article, most of which may be justified, and is stubbornly sticking to one that is not. His order summary is that unconstructive, bossy editors blow, his entire talkpage here is fraught with conflict and useless edits others have had to revert; I'm not the only one apparently that thinks he is unfamiliar with what an encyclopedia is.

His edit history shows a propensity to plaster articles with cumbersome or ugly (and in one article, openly racist) text-for this edit he has added verbose wording and readded poor edits and redlinks. The article clearly states <!-- External links, redlinks, and non article entries will be removed per [[Wikipedia:Lists (stand-alone lists)]]. --> His edits I reverted are these, whether they are his or someone else's, yet he keeps reverting to this variant:

• Line 16:

*[[Eaglecrest High School]], unincorporated area near Aurora and Centennial

which I reverted as being unencyclopedic and unnecessary

• Line 62:

*[[north High School Denver

which needs no comment, it is clearly unwikilike

• Line 106:

and

=== Hinsdale County=== *[[Lake City Community High School]], Lake City

which is counter to the clearly stated and repeated mandate of this list, External links, redlinks, and non article entries will be removed per Wikipedia:Lists (stand-alone lists)."

Should an admin be necessary in this matter, I would submit that these edits should be disallowed as they bring down the encyclopedic character of the pre-existing list. Chris 03:05, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Confirmation of intent

Having noted that there's been some edit controversy on this page (a list, of all things!), I thought it might be better to ask first before making any large edits. Is it okay if I add some sub-headings under the counties to organize by school district as well, or would that be too much detail? Duncan1800 (talk) 05:51, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm good with that, but not all districts have articles, so there would be some redlinks, which would be problematic. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 13:15, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Or another possibility is to just have the districts listed without the redlinks. I understand the problems with edit wars and such, however I would like to see a more complete list. I use these lists quite a bit while working on webesites for HS sports, and this is definitely one of the most incomplete. I have a working list of all CHSAA high schools now and would be willing to at least add those to the list (just as a list, unless there's an artical already existing I won't make those links), but I'd rather have some of the others who work on this page to chime in first before anything is added. If you have an opinion on whether to add to the list or not, please feel free to message me. Mtndrums (talk) 05:19, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
