Anaheim vs. Anaheim Hills[edit]

With all due respect, there is no city in California known as "Anaheim Hills". The proper address for all locations in the "Anaheim Hills" section of California, designated by the ZIP Codes 92807 and 92808, is "Anaheim". As such, I'm moving it back to its previous location, and will make certain that "Anaheim Hills" is mentioned in the article. —XSG 17:15, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I respect your valid points. But, it can get confusing, for Canyon is not in the Anaheim City School District. Because of this, it should not be under the title Anaheim, because it is not in the school district. I would understand if the article were for different purposes, like other locales in Anaheim Hills and calling them Anaheim, but it really can get confusing since they are in two different school districts. It is technically in Anaheim, but the main purpose of the title here is to indicate where it is located, and since it is not located in the Anaheim City School District, this is the best way to initially clarify that. Plus, Anaheim redirects here, so if someone thinks it is in Anaheim, or types in Anaheim, they will still obtain the same page. Get my drift? CA32 02:45, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The city in which Canyon High School is in doesn't represent the school district, truly, otherwise you'd suggest we name the page "Canyon High School (Orange Unified School District)", not "Canyon High School (Anaheim Hills, California)". Since you obviously concede that the portion of the title within parenthesis doesn't represent the school district but rather the city in which the shool exists, you must also agree that Canyon High School resides in the same city as does most of the other schools in the Anaheim City School District. The differentiation of school districts is represented in the content of the article, not in the title, and I believe the article should be very clear about the school being a part of OUSD and not ACSD. The bottom line is that there is not such city (or school district) called "Anaheim Hills", and therefore, to be precisely correct, Canyon High School is in "Anaheim, California". —XSG 22:55, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reversion Battle[edit]

69.230.41.31 keeps adding content to this article which improves the quality of the article, however many people continue to revert these changes. While I respect that these changes were initially added by someone who was banned, I can see nothing wrong with these changes with respect to solely the content. It is correct, accurate, well-written... I can't fathom why it continues to be reverted. As such, I'm adding the content back in and I hope that it doesn't get reverted arbitrarily and without explanation on this page. —XSG 22:58, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Any edits by a banned user may be reverted as per the blocking policy. This is done, I'd imagine, to discourage block users from using sockpuppets. It doesn't matter if the edits are valid or not, the community can still revert the changes. Normally, I'd be against the idea of reverting good edits, but this is an extreme situation. We should be doing everything we can to encourage that Eric follows his block. By allowing his edits to stay, it only encourages him to violate his one year ban set by the arbitration committee. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 02:15, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I received this message on my User talk page... 

My work will be reverted, but since you are not banned, please revert it back to the version by the first IP starting with "69" on the history section. It will not be reverted since you were not banned on Canyon High School (Anaheim, California) 69.230.41.31 05:12, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since the user posted from an IP address, I can't reply to their user talk page, and so I am replying here, where I'm confident it will be read:

As you can see from above, Eric aka CA32 aka 69.*, we disagree about the importance of Anaheim Hills. Yes, I grew up there, but I also accepted the reality that it is an incorporated portion of Anaheim, without its own separate government, police force, fire department, and public works. Anaheim Hills is merely a section of Anaheim. Why you think I would knowingly revert the content of this article to something that contains patently false information is beyond me. I created this page because I felt that I could contribute to Wikipedia by presenting a bit of information about my alma mater. You have taken it upon yourself to blatantly vandalize this page by mixing fabrication into factual content. I'm disgusted by your actions and do not welcome you here. Please go away. —XSG 05:45, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lockdown?[edit]

Is there some way to lock this page down so that only registered users can edit it? —XSG 01:21, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ryulong has requested semi-protection here [1] and I would like to thank you for your contributions to the article and apologize for earlier reversions of your work. As you can see dealing with Ericsaindon2 isn't easy. AniMate 01:53, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of unsourced information[edit]

Makes this article look bad, and makes the people who have worked hard to maintain this article look bad... Please add sources when adding information, or it will be reverted. —XSG 17:30, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are a little to harsh with this. Frankly if you removed everything without a source half of wikipedia would be gone. A better approach would be to mark sections or statements that are missing sources so that people can added them. Also, for notable alumni that have links to their own articles I would not require a source here. Having an article gives a certain degree of proof that they are notable and a reference of where they went to school should be in their own article. --MarsRover 18:22, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Especially since the information doesn't look purposefully erroneous, or unverifiable, please give editors the change to properly reference the information. Or to cite another Wikipedia guideline, assume good faith. BlankVerse 15:37, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comanche Mascot[edit]

At the school's inception in 1973, a number of potential mascots were voted upon - including "Conquistadors" and "Cougars." Are we aware of any efforts to change the Comanche mascot, perhaps to one of these past choices? 140.247.248.113 13:11, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More Courses and Activities[edit]

I think this article could be added on to so that it reflects on more of the school's offered courses and activities than simply the athletic program. Perhaps more could be included on the new Stellar Technology program, band, etc. Canyon has more variety to it than just sports. - ChuabIsTheWhopper (talk) 07:24, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a good idea, so long as there's a reference/source for all material added. An on-line school handbook, for example? Would you be willing to do this? —  X  S  G  18:17, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please leave Veronica Lopez in the article. Please do not remove her name. Before thinking about removing do some research and call the school regarding Veronica. One good source is talking to Coach Lance Eddy who I believe is still active at the school. I think it's important to give female credit for what they have contributed in sports and not just merely focus on males. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rlo2626 (talk • contribs) 08:33, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
