Who keeps putting Mills' school colors as "Red and White"? They're Red and Gold. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.122.14.112 (talk • contribs) 06:58, 22 June 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Merge proposal

I've added a merge proposal for Mills Robotics Team, it has already been mentioned on that article's talk page before and it does not seem to be sufficiently notable itself. Snigbrook (talk) 01:14, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, it should be merged. Zedla (talk) 05:23, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As there were no objections, I've merged it. —Snigbrook 21:12, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The camera in the girls' bathroom incident

I just deleted six paragraphs worth of uncited text about a faculty member who allegedly put a camera in a girls' bathroom. The only reference given [1] was before he was sentenced, so all it states is that he resigned.

There are two major issues here. The first is that, under WP:BLP, information about living people must be backed up with reliable sources. From that standpoint, I think we can say that a teacher has resigned over allegations that he hid a camera, but not that he hid a camera (depending on what other sources say).

My second concern is undue weight. Roughly a quarter of the vertical length of the article was taken up by coverage of the person. If it's framed within the context of the school, I could see a well-written paragraph being warranted—even if it's one paragraph by itself in a Controversies section. If independent sources show it was a major controversy at the school, then expanding the coverage along those lines is warranted. However, it doesn't warrant six paragraphs under such a fleeting heading as "In the news". —C.Fred (talk) 13:53, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Academic excellence"

How does coming in 529th imply excellence in anything? Not a single one of the sources listed used the word Excellence. This is an encyclopedia. We deal in facts. If in fact being 516th, 529th or 816th actually showed excellence, you wouldn't need the weasel words to point that out. If it isn't WP:WEASEL (which it is), then it is WP:SYNTH and it still doesn't belong. Please tell me how you figure it isn't weasel? Gtwfan52 (talk) 03:53, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
