Low	This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.
	Reasoning for assessment: Excellent work improving the referencing! Please continue to add them, until everything in the article is sourced. Even the alma mater can be referenced to the school website or another source. With increased expansion (right now it's still mostly lists), this article will be moving toward B-class. Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/Article guidelines may give ideas for expansion. I am assessing as Low importance because to be honest, although it is in the Newsweek top 1,000; there are also about 950 US schools ranked higher, including the public elite list. Consider requesting a re-assessment at WikiProject Schools if more information is available. Best, --Jh12 (talk) 12:30, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alumni[edit]

Anyone know any more notable alumni? There's gotta be more than this. Alphageekpa 18:42, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Clubs listings[edit]

I am going to remove the lengthy list of clubs. It's very lengthy, and I don't there is anything terribly unique or notable about it. If there are any objections, let me know. But I think it can free up some space and make the page more readable. PAWiki 17:19, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Honors[edit]

I am sure there are some academic honors since 2001. Anyone know of any since 2002? --Joe 03:19, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Wahs-canary.GIF[edit]

Image:Wahs-canary.GIF 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 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.

Notible Alumni[edit]

Can we put the graduating year for each of the people listed? Bwmoll3 (talk) 09:40, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly. Feel free to add any such information that you may have. Include citations, if possible. Alphageekpa (talk) 11:05, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2014 Bullying[edit]

This section is not relevant to the actual population of students in attendance. It is appalling that people are able to post misleading data like this on Wikipedia. If anyone decides to learn the truth about William Allen, the school with true opportunity, please visit the website and disregard this page. In addition, this page does not mention any of the great things going on there, like the "William Allen Construction Company" founded by Lee Butz of Alvin H. Butz inc. The "WACC" has a general operating budget of millions of dollars annually, and it is the only organization of its kind in the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.78.251.31 (talk) 01:37, 24 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
