Vandalism

edit

Because of recent vandalism, I will be monitoring this page on my watchlist. Any vandalism will be reverted, and offenders will be warned and then reported. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 23:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Cleanup

edit

The article has been cleaned up again to remove some decidedly inaccurate information. May I suggest to those editing the article attend English class more often and that they remember that the Giant Crab is a secret. Aristan 05:31, 5 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Band Director's Name

edit

For future reference, the band director's name is C. Whit Blount, not Rolly. I believe we called him the same thing back in the dark ages. Aristan 01:03, 13 September 2006 (UTC) As a further correction, the band director's full name is Charles Whitner Blount. But yes, we did call him Whit back when he was marching band president.Reply

Added The Bathrooms section to BJAODN

edit

I thought the effort should be preserved somewhere besides history, so... Wikipedia:Damn it, Jim, I'm a Bad Joke, not Other Deleted Nonsense#From Myers Park High School --MeekSaffron (Jaffa,Tree!) 16:37, 14 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

That was absolutely hilarious. My compliments to whoever the responsible party was... 68.39.174.238 05:27, 16 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
LOL! This fairly basic article and then suddenly that extremely in-depth research out of the blue! -- Northgrove 01:35, 17 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
As a student at MP, I can confirm that the description of the bathrooms is horrifyingly accurate. You sort of gain a knowledge of where the decent restrooms are when most of the restrooms are nasty. Come to think of it, I'll have to check up on that AG bathroom next chance I get... Matt 04:40, 4 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Update on "Coerced Drop Outs" Section

edit

The Time Magazine article's allegation was that students were forced to drop out of Myers Park because of poor grades. An investigation has been made into the issue, and has found no evidence that this actually happened as stated (see [1]). I'm thinking that this section should either be removed or edited with the new information. Matt 01:35, 5 May 2007 (UTC) (edit - sorry, forgot to include my username there)Reply

Ehh, on second thought, I probably should just go ahead and do it myself. Matt 23:01, 9 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Brooklyn Decker (Roddick)

edit

According to her wikipedia page, Brooklyn Decker attended this school. Might want to add her to the notable alumni section. 64.141.133.22 (talk) 15:07, 3 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Robert F. Stern

edit

I've included Robert F. Stern on the list of notable alumni and provided two sources. Both are third party sources (the FBI and his yearbook). Despite this, my edits were reverted on four separate occasions in a short time period. I am calling on User:John from Idegon to self-revert and discuss the issue so that we can avoid having to seek an administrator to block further edit warring.--TM 00:49, 15 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

All you need do is add a WP:RS WP:SECONDARY source, now, as it was the very first time you re-added it after my intial revert that clearly stated no source for attendance. Feel free to involve all the administrators you want. My hands are clean. You, not so much. John from Idegon (talk) 02:49, 15 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Allegations of coerced dropouts

edit

The investigation as stated on the page indicates that there was no evidence of coerced dropouts. This story has not gained media attention and has become irrelevant. I propose the removal of the section 24.40.175.8 (talk) 21:45, 11 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
