Things to Be Added After Article Approval

As things like renderings of the school or pictures of its mascot are non-free copyrighted works, I won't be able to upload them until the article is approved. I do have an SVG of the school logo extracted from the brand guide PDF ready when approved. Update: I added the logo to the district article and then this one. Update: Nvm. Thanks for letting me know about that policy, Marchjuly. Dexcube (talk) 10:18, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Issue with Third Party Tag

@Jlwoodwa: I can see your reasons for putting the third party tag on the Goodyear High School article; a lot of my source are primary sources from the school's district. However, upon further research, it is pretty much impossible to have more secondary sources, as the school has not opened yet; I've pretty much cited every existing secondary source their is on the school. With that in mind, I feel 50% secondary sources is a pretty reasonable rate. That rate is going to improve, too, as the school gets more secondary coverage due to different points in the construction, incidents at the school, athletic events, notorious alumni (I'm sure they'll get an NBA player in a few years), etcetera.

In addition, where primary sources are used, I think they are used out of necessity. Secondary sources don't cover everything, and in some cases, they probably never will. For instance, a local news outlet isn't likely to publish something like the official school colors (like the district did in source 7) or certain specifics on the model of the school (like sources 9 or 10).

Besides that, in total, the primary sources are cited less often than the secondary sources; the secondary sources are referred to 16 times verses only 9 for primary sources. Most of the vital information is cited from the secondary sources, such as the school's principle, its initial population, and how it plans to gradually increase school populations. When a primary source is invoked, it's usually corroborated by a secondary source where possible (again, there aren't a huge amount of secondary sources yet).

Thank you for your work to help maintain the editorial quality of Wikipedia. I look forward to your response. Dexcube (talk) 10:24, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
