[edit] Academy X

The author of the novel Academy X was a teacher at Horace Mann- a small inter-school controversy surfaced when he was dismissed from his post at the end of the 2006-2007 school year. Is this worth adding to the article? 02:53, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Considering that the official version of the story was that his contract was not renewed, I'd say not. It might be appropriate for a potential new Academy X article, though. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 04:00, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Horrace.jpg

Nuvola apps important.svg

Image:Horrace.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 ensure 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Alumni poorly sourced

Checking a few of the linked alumni articles, very few have any supporting verifiable references to show they ever attended Horace Mann School. The guidance of WP:BLP applies and there should be verifiable sources included for any claims about people in this article. I propose that all alumni should have footnotes demonstrating they are alumni even where linked to another Wikipedia article in order to address this problem. (talk) 21:52, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

I must agree still that the "Notable" alum section is poor though better than say 12 or 18 months ago. This must improve.SLY111 (talk) 15:20, 10 August 2010 (UTC)SLY111

It may be worth considering moving the list out to its own article, a good example of this is List of Brigham Young University alumni. Such an article could expand on the sources available (such as alumni newsletters, websites etc.). (talk) 16:27, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
