[edit] Sport name capitalization

Hey, I noticed that the names of the sports were inconsistently capitalized (e.g. things like baseball, golf, and basketball were lowercase in contrast to capitalized Softball, Lacrosse, Cheerleading, etc [see past version]) so I went through and un-capitalized all the sport names so it would be consistent. I think that this is correct, unless there is significant precedent to capitalize sport names in the specific case of high school sports. Sound about right? --T. S. Rice 03:21, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

Okay, I added some pictures. This is my first time uploading images, so if I did something wrong, please tell me or fix it. I know the captions kind of suck, so feel free to change 'em. --jess523s 18:14, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

It's good that we've finally got some actual pictures for this article! Once this article gets bigger, the images can be placed throughout the article on the sides, rather than all at the bottom, so that they look more natural. It might be a good idea to crop the first image (of the school from the track) so that it doesn't appear to be a small strip of school sandwiched between a lot of green and gray, since it's hard to discern many details from the image as it is. (We'll see about this part.) Thanks for getting some actual pictures of the school. Comrade^4·2 01:09, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Okey, dokey. --jess523s 03:01, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This is the greatest...

Wikipedia article of all time.

Well, ok, second. The article on Tom Rice still takes the cake there.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.54.132.151 (talk) 05:48, 6 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Notebale Events and Teacher Popularity

These categories are not gossip. They are based on actual research, careful deliberation, and truthfulness. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.193.241.186 (talk) 05:33, 8 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] We made this page better

• We have added more to the school page than anybody else. Before all it had was short descriptions, we added much more depth and elaborated on the previous articles. Before we came, this page was nothing, no it is a respectable page. We did more in 3 days than you did in one school year. You lazy high schoolers

[edit] Sports and classes

I've removed the game-by-game stats for all of the sports, as well as the "complete" list of classes. These things were not significant enough to put into this article - it's not the school's webpage. I've left the year-by-year table of the performance of Girls' basketball because Oregon City's girls basketball program is one of its significant features and that table helps show how that sport has been strong for many years.

A bunch of these things - for example, the bit on the cartoon controversy, as well as stuff on sports (e.g. "The boys' soccer team is currently in the developing stage") - need to have citations really badly, or else they come off as subjective bunk. It's hard to find citations for Oregon City stuff, of course, but OregonLive might be a good place to start. --Comrade^4·2 06:36, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
