Instructions for adding alumni

Do not add alumni without adding a reference for the alum's attendence at Uni.

If you know or think that someone notable attended Uni, but do not have a source, that's what the talk page is for. In addition, alumni also need proof of notability. A wiki article will be taken as such, but if no wiki article exists, an addition source proving their notability needs to be added.

You are responsible for adding and removing the categories to the article pages of the alumni you add and remove to this list:

After adding an alumni, go to the article for the alumni and add the category:

[[Category:University High School (Los Angeles) Alumni]]

Both this list and category are alphabetized by last name. In order for this to happen in the cat, the {{DEFAULTSORT}} magic word, which applies to all the categories on the article, or parameters for the individual category have to be used:

[[Category:University High School (Los Angeles) Alumni | last name, first name]]

If default sorting is already established in an article, then you don't need to do anything. It the article is using the second method, or nothing, then you'll need to do this, or establish default sorting for the article. Not every article will be alphabetized by last name, for example, Jan and Dean. So, if you're unsure, ask.

Update

I've move the alumni list to a new page List of notable alumni of University High School (Los Angeles).
I created a new category [[Category:University High School (Los Angeles) Alumni]].
I created a new category [[Category:University High School (Los Angeles)]]
I added every alumni listed to the alumni category.
I added the uni pages to the uni category.
I wrote instructions for adding alumni for the alumni talk page

Please, look over everything. Does this page need wikiproject banners? Does it need assessment? Have I forgotten or messed something up? Miss Mondegreen talk 01:27, May 7 2007

notable faculty?

Some school articles include lists of notable faculty in addition to notable alumni. This was never raised as an issue, because as of yet, we haven't had notable faculty to add. However, when updating links to the article after the move, I discovered notable facutlty.

I think it would be odd to have a list of notable faculty on the main page, separate from the notable alum list. There aren't (as far as I know) enough notable faculty for a list of their own, and I can't see adding notable faculty the page without renaming it.

What do people think about adding notable faculty to the notable alum list (and therefore renaming the list)?

We could either rename the article the very long:
[[List of notable alumni and faculty of University High School (Los Angeles, California)]]

or we could follow the example of List of Hopkins School people and rename the article List of University High School (Los Angeles, California) people or, preferably, List of notable people from University High School (Los Angeles, California) -- something so that the long school name doesn't divide the name of the article.

Whatever we do rename the article, we also have the choice of creating a new cat with that name and having both alum and faculty in the same cat, or just creating a separate cat for faculty. Opinions? Miss Mondegreen talk 08:25, May 16 2007

As I recall, one of the principals was notable for something, though I can't remember exactly what... Maybe a major sports figure? --El on ka 14:10, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll look into it. I came to this issue when I came accross a notable wrestling teacher, oddly enough. Any opinions about what to do with the notable faculty? Renaming the page, the cats.... Miss Mondegreen talk 06:54, May 17 2007

If it's a short list, I'd include it on the school page. If it gets lengthy, I'd add a section on the alumni page. It's probably also worth checking other colleges and universities on Wikipedia, and seeing how they handle it. Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools is probably a good resource too. --El on ka 07:04, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just from looking at a sampling of the lists of people by school affiliation--these lists tend to include all notables. Many don't have the name alumni, and some that do note on the article page that they include something in addition to alumni. However, unlike other pages we can't name this after the mascot--the mascot changed, and this page includes both "wildcats" and "warriors". (Technically--it includes alum of both Harding High and Uni High.) As there are multiple Uni Highs and the location paramter is therefore very necessary in this case.

That made this a hard article to name to begin with, and it becomes harder to name when trying to figure out how to make it apply to all notables--not just alum. My proposals seem pretty clumsy and I'd like to find something smoother if possible. Miss Mondegreen talk 08:07, May 17 2007

merge tags

I removed the merge tags. No comment on either this or the alumni article was given. Kintetsubuffalo--this list was originally in this article and for several reasons, separated. You can see the previous discussion either on the talk page or in the archives. If you'd like to bring this proposal up again, please provide a reasoning and consider the immense amount of work involved in this sort of merge. Miss Mondegreen talk 19:23, October 31 2007 (UTC)

adding and removing alumni, DON'T:

remove vandalism, hoaxes, obviously if you have a good source, add it

but do not remove or add alumni willy, nilly

REMOVING REDLISTED if you think that a redlisted alumni should be removed, check carefully, because most of them have sources for notability and attendance, and even if they don't, be careful: VERIFIED is not the same as VERIFIABLE--for something not be verifiable, means that you have to have gone out and tried to and been unable to)

if you think that such is the case, SAY SO on the talk page--if a redlisted alumni is on the page, unless it was recently added, extensive research was done on the alumnus. even it is recent, that's likely the case

so make your case for removal, and then add it to the list of removed alumni, WITH any references that it had

REMOVING NON-REDLISTED

same procedure as above, but the category for uni high alum must also be removed from their article page. you remove them, you're responsible.

ADDING REDLISTED

must have reference for attending the school and notability--they CAN be the same reference, follow format

ADDING NONREDLISTED

must have reference for attendance at least, follow format, add category tag to their wiki page

this article needs a cleanup and at somepoint, I or someone else who gets around to it will move everyone unreferenced to this talk page, or probably a subtalkpage so we can keep an undated list going, and make sure the cat is clean Miss Mondegreen talk 20:18, October 31 2007 (UTC)

IF you want to add or remove a name but won't or can't do all that, leave all the information on the talk page. If it's a removal, provide strong reasoning. If it's an addition, whatever information you have. Miss Mondegreen talk 20:31, October 31 2007 (UTC)

First, let me commend you and the other editors for a well-maintained, well-referenced list. But I disagree that referenced redlinks are ok: this contradicts the guideline for lists at WP:MOSLIST, which says that list should only contain items that are articles, or likely to be articles. My suggesstion: write the article first, and keep the list free of redlinks so it is consistent with the guideline. UnitedStatesian 22:22, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would like to add Bruce Fairbairn Uni Alum graduating class of 65' The Rookies LA Law Knots Landing Behind the Screen Loving Friends and Perfect Couples Uni4Me (talk) 04:18, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bruce does not appear to have a wikipedia article. He is a single line entry in The Rookies and does not get mentioned in Knots Landing. There is a Canadian record producer with that name. I suggest (for a lot of alumni submissions) write the article first, establish a connection to the school with sources and notability per WP:N, then add the name to alumni. Trackinfo (talk) 05:41, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Who qualifies?

What is your criteria to be included in this list? Looks like only movie stars are listed. [Steve Kirsch] (he stated in his own FB profile that he is an alumni 1974) is a successful businessman in Silicon Valley. He would be an inspiration to the current students. There is already a wikipedia article on him. 99.66.144.61 (talk) 17:03, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Removed information because unsure what person it belonged to

I found the following information listed between peoples' names and I am not sure where the information should be placed. It appears the information may have been moved accidentally. I listed the information below so it could be moved to the correct spot. "Kholos, 1958 (Writer/Producer, TV, Radio, Musical Theatre, Best known as writer/producer of words, music and book of "A Stoop On Orchard Street", also Rod Serling's Hollywood Radio Theatre, History In The Company of Women and John Ritter's, History In the company of Children" Thanks--Fraulein451 (talk) 01:36, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
