March 2007[edit]

Hello all, and thank you for contributing to this school site. I'm part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools/Assessment team, and, as it has recently been editted, then I'm reviewing this page. I'm currently giving it a grade of start on the Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale and an importance of Low on this importance scale.

My reasoning is as follows: Well its a good start length. Importance low although there are few alumni. Some pictures and more breadth. Notes good but some more referencing. Hope this helps. Victuallers 22:10, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notable persons[edit]

I removed Brian Roether from the notability section. The Technology section is vague and notability is not demonstrated for Mr. Roether. No disrespect to him personally but all the other alumnus have publicly distinguished themselves and a web search for Brian Roether reveals nothing about the Hamtramck Computer related to Brian Roether. Editor at anonymous IP: Please discuss on this talk page the reasons for adding Brian Roether. Mfields1 01:39, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Elderlogo.jpg[edit]

Image:Elderlogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

De facto segregation[edit]

Hello PaulinSaudi -- Your recent edit, reverted by John from Idegon, is intended to show that the student body of the the school is not representative of the local community. That's a fair observation, but one that will cause consternation. We have a bunch of articles with similar assertions, for example, North Sunflower Academy. When the claim is bold, the references need to be bulletproof. For enrollment statistics, the more frequently cited is NCES [1]. All of the other commercial school sites copy from this, the closest we have to an authoritative source, primary as it is. In 2016, Elder had thirty-five black students and nineteen of two or more races in a student body of 868. That's 4.0% or 6.2% before you jump into the thorny question of whether Hispanics self-identify as white or something else. We just need to make sure the math is correct.

Thank you. Let me poke around. ''Paul, in Saudi'' (talk) 03:57, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That works for me. I copyedited it to specify date for school stats, corrected tense, removed phrasing "reported as" and rephrased "White, non-Hispanic" to non-Hispanic white. Thanks Paul. John from Idegon (talk) 05:51, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
