[edit] Copyright violation

The History section of this article is copied directly from Moeller's website. [1] I'm working to rewrite it, so that it doesn't violate our copyright policy.

I've rewritten the History section and turned the Academics section into a quote, so that it isn't plagiarism. It'd be nice to know how many students were in the Class of 1964, so that the sentence "In 1964, the Moeller High School's first class graduated" doesn't sound so weak. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 19:37, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Academic Excellence

As a local, I've never exactly heard of Moeller as being known for their academic excellence. Certainly their art program, but not much else. Undersea

[edit] No mention of Gerry Faust?

I see that this athletic section has no mention of Gerry Faust, who coached there from 1963-1980 and, quoting from the article about him, his remarkable 174-17-2 record was highlighted by seven unbeaten seasons, four national prep titles, and five Ohio state titles in his last six seasons --rogerd 23:27, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notable alumni

Please show some restraint when adding names to the "Notable alumni" list, especially with regard to athletes. I realize that many of the athletes that've been added are well-known in the Moeller community, but in the big scheme of things, they might not necessarily be "notable" enough for Wikipedia. I commented out names of college athletes whose sole description on the page was the sport they play and the school they play for; if there's something that makes these athletes notable, feel free to mention that and add them back in. While you're at it, if you know a good amount about these athletes and they seem noteworthy enough, please consider writing an separate article about them. It's not really helpful to the average reader when they see a list of names, sports, and schools, and know nothing more about these people.

(Yes, I went to St. X, but that's not why I pruned the list a bit. After all, I know one of these guys. I'd just like to see this article reach a level of quality that won't require a "references or sources" sign at the top.)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Moeller.jpg

Image:Moeller.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
