Editing to La Salle
[edit]Hi- thanks for the information you've been adding to La Salle High School (Milwaukie, Oregon). Not all of it maintains a neutral point of view. I'd encourage you to look at WP:NPOV plus WP:WPSCH/AG. The latter identifies the recommended sections that should be in a school article and what is/isn't encyclopedic. For instance, this edit is a bit too flowery, containing things like "has a rich athletic tradition" and "a key element to its mission of educating the entire individual". Secondly, listing soccer championships in prose AND in a list is redundant, and it's better presented in list, I think. There was a lot of redundant information in there- such as listing the year the school was founded in the athletics section(!). I've gone through and cleaned up that edit. Let me know what you think. tedder (talk) 18:34, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
