Hi! I just wondered if you were aware that there is a standard for what should appear in school articles? Your edits at Hillsborough High School (Tampa, Florida) indicate that you must not. The title to this section is a wikilink to them. You should probably familiarize yourself with them. I will be cleaning up that article here in the next few days and I would appreciate you not shoving all the unwanted content back into it. If you want to tout the school on the internet, there are numerous places you can get a webpage for little to no cost. Wikipedia is not the place for it. Thanks!

Lol!
... don't you mean scrubbing" the article?!!!! .... standard? .... like recording, ... "who, what, how, why, and when?" .... clearly there is no regard for that .... as, you have taken it upon yourself, ... to be judge, jury, and executioner ... "scrubbing" ... names and events. and sources, that are and were of some historical significance, not only related to an institution of learning, but also, to the community, and the city, and county in which it is situated.. ... being the first public institution of higher learning in that city and county, and one of the oldest in the state, not to mention, the center of an entire historic district that is "Seminole Heights". there is "a lengthy history" that cannot be ignored, and the same institution was also the birthplace of one community college and one private university, the history of that particular institution is intertwined with the history and evolution of the entire county, as well as the progress of the state, as one of it's earliest institutions. ..... I guess in your mind, ... you would weigh a canary and a rhino and call them equal in weight? ... or try to insert a years financial records and tax receipts for Bank of America into a 1040EZ form~!? Good luck with that!
... "cleaning"?, .. would have been refining the language, shortening or editing the content to make it more concise, even rearranging it in a manner to reduce the amount of space it consumes on a page... even update expired links, or ferret out more recent links, that coincide with keeping the information, up to date and accurate.
... so to say, that "George Washington chopped down a cherry tree!" would be unwanted content, and/or braggartry? ... well, with that lofty standard and due to the editorial diligence of egoistic altruists such as yourself, I imagine it won't long before , "Wiki", will be the web sight of zoetropes! ... pretty pictures spinning around in a circle! .... It is no wonder the consensus is that Wiki ... will never be .. what it once had the potential to be, ... "at least a semi-reliable source" for fact based content! ... "a folksy encyclopedia Americana".
... it is clear, to me now, ... that Wikipedia is fast becoming nothing more, than a "scrub" or "spin" sight for "Tea Baggers", "libertarians", the NRA, and other corporate and political interests to use and modify, to their benefit, ... and for those, who have way more time on their hands, ... probably mostly due to being "unemployable", .. to try and rewrite history, spin historical events. and scrub political and conservative biographies, and scrub "rivaling" articles, ... all to suit their narrow, skewed "Puritanical" or myopic view of the world!
."Wiki" is fast becoming a complete waste of people's time, especially for those who are interested in contributing factual and interesting pertinent material to better the Wikipedia experience.... and/or who are in search of .. or wish to contribute, source based, ... accurate, factual, and/or even more in depth content, than can be otherwise extracted from an everyday children's encyclopedia, or an "Ask.com" search ... for the sake of posterity. ... so, what is "Wiki", anyway? ... other than "a circle jerk!"
If you are going to maliciously blanket delete "sourced content" I have contributed, to an article, then DELETE IT ALL!!! ... don't "chicken shit out" and "half ass" delete some of "the names and content" randomly, just to assert your AB ... passive aggressive traits! ... all of the individual names and content had "equally earned mention" .... if you don't believe half of them don't belong in the article, .... then, none of them belong in the article! DELETE THEM!!!!
..... What in the hell good is only posting ... "half of the names and facts ??? . THAT IS HALF ASSED!!!!!! ... and, just to appease your guilt, no doubt! ... JUST DELETE EVERYTHING I HAVE CONTRIBUTED!!!! THEN, DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK!!!!
I am done with this SHIT! ... I have better things to do with my time, than to see interesting, "folksy", historical material, that I have rediscovered or discovered, ... material that would otherwise be considered of interesting, or local historical, or social importance, then shared to, ... "contributed", to "Wiki", only to be discarded ... by ass holes, out of ignorance, arrogance, or sheer spite, ... it doesn't matter which, I AM DONE WITH THIS CRAP! AND, I AM DONE WITH YOU!

Hello, I'm Gtwfan52. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Hillsborough High School (Tampa, Florida) without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Gtwfan52 (talk) 07:20, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Your recent edit to Hillsborough High School (Tampa, Florida) appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person or organization added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.
