Fair use rationale for Image:Cecosch.jpg

Image:Cecosch.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.

Streaking ref

This reference (^ Boy, 15, kills himself after ‘facing expulsion and being put on sex offender registry’ for STREAKING at high school football game, by Lydia Warren, 10 October 2013, The Daily Mail) links to a British page which is a tertiary source referencing a Huntsville news channel. However, WHNT has removed the article due to lack of accuracy and liability concerns. This should be removed and page locked until official statements from local authorities are available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.1.25.129 (talk) 02:51, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Agreed, requesting edit - please remove the speculation about the possible reasons for the suicide.

Done. WP:NOTNEWS states: "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion." (my emphasis) Regardless of the existence of sources, I think this is a case in point. --Stfg (talk) 20:54, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Remove most of this article, because it lacks references; WP:V,

So please remove;

The school was named after senator and former vice presidential nominee John Sparkman. Sparkman is one of the largest schools in Northern Alabama and serves students in grades 10-12. The school's mascot is a Senator. The school has an enrollment of around 2,700 students. Sparkman High's main rival is Bob Jones High School, and is almost always played as the last game of each football season.

As of 2006, across the street is the Sparkman Ninth Grade School. Campus

Sparkman High was originally located in Toney, Alabama. The old building is now Sparkman Middle School. Now located on Jeff Road in Harvest, Alabama, the current high school building was built in 1997. The facility has art rooms, two gyms, a photo studio, drama rooms, a choir room, a band room, and musical theater classes. In 2001, additional rooms were built to accommodate the overcrowding. The high school has now split; the Sparkman 9th Grade School, which is across the street from the main high school, opened in 2006 to help overcrowding. There are currently 790 freshman at Sparkman 9; Sparkman High has over 1,900 students at the 10-12th grade building.
