[edit]Hi! I took a look at the edits. It looks like it was removed by John from Idegon, who wrote:
- removed unsourced content. I'll let the student editor rebuild it. We only discuss varsity sports, provide secondary sources for sports offered if possible (suggest the state athletic sanctioning body), reliable secondary sources are required for achievements and we only discuss highest level achievement (in this case, state championship). Watch the WP:PEACOCK and WP:PUFFERY
Basically, we can only put in content if it's the ones at the highest level and they must have sourcing. An example of an article on a school that is of Good Article quality is this one, or perhaps this one. Granted you don't have to add quite that much information, but it's a good example of what should be in the section. I'm not entirely sure what they saw as non-neutral, but I think it may have been the use of the term "is home to" since that's often used in promotional materials. It's much better to just state that the school's basketball team won this and that year or were runner up, as opposed to saying that it's the home of the team.
As far as the formatting goes, it looks like it displayed the way it did since you used {{div col|colwidth=22em}} without including the closing part, {{div col end}}. This means that it automatically included everything below that template, even the reference section and other templates. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:39, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hi! With the additions, I think that they were removed because of a lack of sourcing and for the issues posed above. I think that you can add some select information back, but you will need to make sure that the content is sourced and neutrally written. I'd use the articles on other schools as a general guide on how to write the sections as well. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:35, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
