Broomball

Deleted the bit about the broomball. Can't find any sources. Went to this school, never heard of it. Atchius 04:16, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually, the broomball league does exist. --Cornell010 01:52, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Yep, I hereby verify the existence of a broom ball league. I currently attend the school, so I should know.

Mayors

Wow, I return to this page after a whole year. Is the list of mayors really necessary? It's very long… maybe somebody with a history book could shorten it to mayors that made some lasting impact?—atchius (msg) 17:25, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

The income levels??

The income levels are wayyyy off. It’s not Beverly Hills jeez! I looked it up and they’re way off but I don’t know how to change them :/ The linked article doesn’t even exist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.209.243.144 (talk) 02:16, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

School district rating check

From personal experience I find it a bit dubious that the Mason school district would be rated "one of the lowest school districts in the state", but I cannot verify or disprove the statement because I cannot find the 2011-2012 Ohio Report Card on the linked website, and the latest report card ratings do not appear to be available yet. Can someone else check this line or find the 2011-2012 report card? Radioactivated (talk) 23:45, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

In fact, searching for the ratings of the school district seems to imply that the ratings are actually among the highest in the state. For example: here, and here. But I am not confident that these are sufficiently reliable sources for an article. Radioactivated (talk) 23:50, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

I have located the report card and corrected the article. Radioactivated (talk) 23:53, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Edline?

Edline has been replaced for many years now. I am an alum from a few years ago and at the time they were using Schoology. The line I'm referring to is "The district also supports individual teacher pages for posting work assignments and class information (such as Edline and Mason Mason Comets)." Now I am not certain about MECC or the Intermediate but I know the middle school and high school use Schoology. Also the source for it is outdated and irrelevant at this point.

Temple

Per Magnolia677’s reversions:

In April 2024, President Russell M. Nelson announced that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints would be building a temple in the Cincinnati area. It has since been clarified that the temple would be in Mason, so I added it as a notable site in the Arts & Culture section. A question has been raised regarding the notability of this temple.

To clarify, a temple is not a church; indeed, temples are closed on Sundays so that people can attend church meetings. The temple is a high and holy place, dedicated as a literal House of the Lord. While the Church of Jesus Christ has tens of thousands of church buildings around the world, there are only 200 temples (over 75% of which, incidentally, have been built in the last 30 years). Because of the importance of the temple to Latter-day Saints (see temple), there are many instances of people working for years and selling all they have for the opportunity to attend the temple even once.

Thankfully, people in the USA haven’t generally had to do this; but until the 1970s, people would still fly from Cincinnati to Salt Lake City to attend the temple. Then in 1974, Cincinnati Saints were blessed with the opening of a much closer temple, the Washington D.C. Temple. Over time, temples have continued to get closer: in 1985, the Chicago Illinois Temple was dedicated; and in 1999, two smaller temples were dedicated even closer to Cincinnati: the Columbus Ohio Temple and Louisville Kentucky Temple (where Cincinnati Saints go today). When the Cincinnati Temple is dedicated, thousands of Saints will regularly travel from Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and all over southern Ohio to attend sessions there. While Wikipedia policy dictates the Cincinnati Ohio Temple not have its own page until construction begins, it is definitely noteworthy—hence its inclusion in a relevant Wikipedia article, not to mention the many news articles (including those cited) regarding its announcement. (I trust that those articles will become even more numerous as events continue to unfold.)

Bottom line: if you don’t find the temple notable, that’s fine; I don’t find the public library and parks to be notable. But the temple is notable to Latter-day Saint Christians in Ohio and surrounding states, thousands of whom will regularly travel to Mason, from at least five US states, to enjoy its blessings. I’m guessing not even the Mason Veterans Memorial (which I would also call notable) draws that kind of crowd, much less on an almost daily basis. TheOtter (talk) 03:16, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

There is a List of temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, so I guess it's notable. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:55, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
