Fair use rationale for Image:PLSHS Crest.jpg edit

 

Image:PLSHS Crest.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The Athletics Section is abnormally large and doesn't read like an encyclopedia article. In addition, it has no citations. 129.93.207.74 (talk) 21:15, 17 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Athletics edit

I've removed a long and apparently growing section on recent performances by the athletic teams, per the WikiProject Schools guidelines at WP:WPSCH/AG#OS. I'll quote the relevant passage—

  • Extracurricular activities – Mention the sports team(s) of the school and what is notable about them. Here is also a good place to mention specific traditions of school, like students' union/student council activities, a student newspaper, clubs, regular activities, etc. The heading may be changed accordingly in regard to the importance of sports, clubs, traditions, students' unions etc. For example, alternative headings could be Students' Union, Sports and Traditions or Students' Union Activities. Specific students should not be mentioned unless they are notable in their own right. Major extra curricular championships should be appropriately listed in a "Sports", "Athletics", or "Activities" section. Major extra curricular championships will be defined as the highest possible championship a team can win from that activity's organizing committee. In the United States, this would nominally be a "state championship". Individual awards should generally not be listed. National championships, when referenced, may also be listed.

Note the word "mention". This is not an appropriate venue for play-by-play accounts of games, discussions of teams' prospects, or general boosterism. Beside listing the school's sports, it's appropriate to list (in table or text) the actual state championships won—not the runners-up, or the good-sportsmanship awards, or the championship game that they would've won had it not been for that malicious schmuck of a referee...
