[edit] Location
Despite its mailing address, Fossil Ridge lies within the Fort Worth city limits. Everything between I-35W and Denton Highway is Fort Worth. See Fort Worth Mapsco, page 36. Dmp348 03:44, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notable Alumni
What is the purpose of having a notable alumni section? Defined by Webster's dictionary, "notable" means worthy of note, remarkable, distinguished or prominent. I don't think any of these "notable alumni" deserve to be listed as such. Going to an ivy league school, working for the city of Dallas, or working in a technology department qualify any of these people to be "notable alumni." No offense intended, and I am sure these people are upstanding citizens, but I do not think they qualifiy as notable alumni within the common definition.71.193.18.60 02:06, 18 December 2006 (UTC)2001Alum
[edit] Major Modifications
I made two major deletions to this page, and, for that reason, felt compelled to leave a note about why. First, as mentioned above, all of the notable alums that were not particularly notable. Generally speaking, as I understand it, the rule of thumb on Wikipeida is that a person is "notable" enough to be included in a notable alumni section if they are notable enough to have their own Wikipeida article - and, obviously, none of the people listed were that notable. Second, the sports scores from this past year are news, and Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, NOT a collection of news reports.
Finally, I'd like to close with a recommendation: take a look at Plano Senior High School. It is a high school, in Texas, similar in a few ways (even geographically close) - and is a featured article. If you want a look at what an example of a very good article on a similar topic, then read that. --EdisonLBM 05:04, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
