Wikipedia is not a blog

I came to this page in response to a request for page protection because this article has recently been updated frequently, as if it were a blog or source for current news.

Wikipedia is not a blog, and using an article to announce pep rallies, current news, and rivalries is not allowed. An example of an appropriate article about a high school is Paxon School for Advanced Studies, which contains information on the school's history, notable alumni, and other facts suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia like Wikipedia.

Editors who continually violate Wikipedia policies and guidelines can be blocked from editing. Please refrain from using the article as a web site for the school. Thanks. KrakatoaKatie 04:38, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Hundreds of people use this page as a resource

They use this page for news just like the pages on much less notable things like, Micheal Jackson, Paris Hilton, 2009, 2009 Atlantic hurricane season and Wikinews. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.139.99.87 (talk)

That's why it's so important that the page be kept free of vandalism and restricted to coherently-written, verified, encyclopediac content. Wikipedia is not for transient news, in-jokes, or blog-type content, so readers may as well learn to look elsewhere for that type of content. DMacks (talk) 18:29, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

What did you think I was doing?

I was adding information that was worthy to be on the encyclopedia.--75.139.99.87 (talk) 18:43, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Add a notable alumni section.--Legalleftandright (talk) 22:05, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

First_Flight_High_School has been viewed 23 times in 200904. --Daniel L. Barth (talk) 18:15, 24 October 2009 (UTC) This is an encyclopedia. How many people need to look up this school each year? I expect the number is small. This is good, because there is essentially no content here.- Sinneed 22:13, 24 October 2009 (UTC) There is a lot more views this month though.--71.80.55.230 (talk) 00:00, 25 October 2009 (UTC) Because it was nominated for deleted, plain and simple. A lot of people will check a article that is nominated so they can decide if they want to give their opinion. The article should be deleted because the school is not notable, plain and simple. Some people are misguided and think that high schools are automatically notable, those people are 100% WRONG. There is no guideline or policy that says schools are notable, they have to pass notability guidelines just like any other article. The usual recommendation is to merge the school articles with the city's article (or the school district's article if it is notable enough to have one). That is what should happen here as this school is NOT notable and the article is terrible. TJ Spyke 04:18, 25 October 2009 (UTC) First_Flight_High_School has been viewed 21 times in 200905.

Barth (talk) 23:51, 26 October 2009 (UTC) A big jump right after school started, I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of the views since September have been from students of the school (kind of hard to figure another reason it jumped up over 1,000% the month school started and its students came back). TJ Spyke 01:02, 27 October 2009 (UTC) First_Flight_High_School has been viewed 1352 times in 200910 so far.--Daniel L. Barth (talk) 20:35, 27 October 2009 (UTC) Please stop. This is not leading towards improvement of the encyclopediac content of the article, and can be looked up by anyone who is interested same as you do. DMacks (talk) 21:49, 27 October 2009 (UTC) It has 6356 views for December 2010.--71.80.52.67 (talk) 01:03, 1 January 2011 (UTC) Holy crap, that is freaking amazing! It is also noteworthy that it got a historic 233 views yesterday, the highest since 21 February 2011 being over 4 months ago and almost 5 months ago!--71.87.158.160 (talk) 14:38, 16 July 2011 (UTC) Popularity This is the 10th most edited article on wikipedia. Click here to see what I mean.--Daniel L. Barth (talk) 01:47, 25 October 2009 (UTC) Yeah, no it's not even in that list. TJ Spyke 04:19, 25 October 2009 (UTC) It was when I saw it.--Daniel L. Barth (talk) 23:45, 26 October 2009 (UTC) I bet it is in the top 1,000,000 on the list for the most edited of the week.--TissueCube18 (talk) 15:38, 15 May 2010 (UTC) I had some trouble accessing the article today. It seemed like it was caused by internet traffic congestion. Do you know what I can do to reach the article without it going so slow? Every time I check back it is busy and I check like every 5 minutes. The other articles are fine. I think this happened to the article on Micheal Jackson too a while back so do you know how they fixed that? I think it might be caused by the fact the people of the area might be trying to find out when school starts because of hurricane irene. Tell me if and when it becomes accessible. Thank you for your help!--Contribuhelper (talk) 21:17, 30 August 2011 (UTC) It is wierd that even with all the people on that live on the area that goes to this school visiting the site a few times today does not seem like enough to slow down the article loading up. Maybe it is slow because everyone is checking back and is wondering like I am. Maybe a lot of Wikipedia is doing this and I just have not noticed it yet.--Contribuhelper (talk) 21:21, 30 August 2011 (UTC) Even this talk page is slow at times. I have had some success in acessing the article but shortly after I told everyone it was acessible it got slow again. I am checking more frequently now. When it comes up that thing that normally tells you to rate "Rate this page" says "An error has occured. Please try again later.", and that is not getting fixed. It is taking about at least 5 seconds to come up for me, but many say up to 20 or more.--75.139.96.183 (talk) 21:39, 30 August 2011 (UTC) Thank you for let me know I was not alone!--75.139.96.183 (talk) 21:39, 30 August 2011 (UTC) Hey, check this out. This is very heavy traffic! http://www.wikiroll.com/term_popularity_en.cgi?lang=en&term=First_Flight_High_School&day_first=15216&day_count=1--75.139.96.183 (talk) 22:04, 30 August 2011 (UTC) Yo, it got over 12,000 views yesterday! It was at about 12,300 but it can be calculated more precisley later. That can really make it slow like I noticed yesterday! That is the first time the First Flight High School Wikipedia Article Daily View Count had 5 digits, more than 4 digits and was over 10,000. It broke the previous record by over 3 times, that was about 3,600! It is even more remarkable when you realize that the previous record was so very amazing in its own right and that there has only been a handful of times the First Flight High School Article Daily View Count had more than 3 digits, in which it was at least 1,000. February 2011 was the only month that did not include this day that had more views than that day with 13572, yet that monthly record might be broken by this months record by just the sum of the last 2 days! This is very exiting, and I belive that within the next month there is a good chance the First Flight High School Article Daily View Count may reach 6 digits, at least 100,000 views for the first time! I beleive that at the year 2050 or sooner the First Flight High School Wikipedia Article Daily View Count will reach 1,000,000,000,000 at least once and if you think about it, it makes sence!--Contribuhelper (talk) 22:16, 31 August 2011 (UTC) This link shows the recorded First Flight High School Wikipedia Article Daily View Count at its superskyrocket from 33 to about 12300!--Contribuhelper (talk) 22:22, 31 August 2011 (UTC) Please stop. This page is about discussing improvements to the article. It is not a place to regularly announce the number of page views. Anyone can look that up. Please keep discussions focused to the topic at hand. Singularity42 (talk) 22:46, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

My weird rollback.

Somehow, I did NOT see the current version. I restored needlessly... I *THINK* I had 2 windows open... either way, I then fixed that WRONG again. My apologies. I *think* I have it back into the condition it was in before I broke it.- Sinneed 03:14, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

AfD - Redirect

I decided to wp:Be Bold and redirected the article. I will certainly follow any wp:consensus that develops.- Sinneed 04:49, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

...and it was immediately removed anonymously, and a damaged version without the mergeto and refimprove flags restored. Restored the removed content and the article flags.- Sinneed 16:20, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Gang Fight

Shoud I add informnation about the gang fight at the school?--71.80.48.147 (talk) 22:22, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

wp:NOTNEWS - probably not. And, please add new sections at the bottom. I'll be happy to move this one. :) - Sinneed 22:28, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

What do you mean by "move it"?--TissueCube18 (talk) 15:36, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

There was never any gang fight. They do not even have gangs.--Cagememberaccount (talk) 18:19, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
