[edit] Football

I've removed the POV content (and title) of the Football section. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an advertisement for the team. This section probably belongs at Massillon Washington High School, since it is that school that this section speaks of. Because of the originally POV nature of this section, a good fact-checking may be in order. (By the way, I'm not writing this because I'm a St. X graduate; this is something I'd do for an article on curling, too.) – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs, blog) 02:58, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

I was wondering if we should rename the "Football" section to a "Sports" section since this section is about sports?---OHWiki 19:50, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I think the current heading is appropriate since the only sport discussed is football. If information about other sports is added, then the section could be renamed, possibly with subheadings for each sport. --Sanfranman59 (talk) 20:03, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

That's cool, we can change the heading down the line if other sports info is added!---OHWiki 20:11, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Remove inappropriate tone tag?

It seems to me that we can remove the inappropriate tone tag from this article now. It was added by a user almost two years ago and it has come a long way since then. Any objections? --Sanfranman59 (talk) 04:42, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree, we should remove the tone tag because the article has seen lots of improvements since the tone tag went up at the top of the article?---OHWiki (talk) 02:50, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

As there seems to be no objection to removing the tone tag, I'm going to do so. --Sanfranman59 (talk) 06:15, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
