[edit] Cheerleading Edit

My edit of cheerleading cleared up the fact that while casual cheerleading is not a sport, competitive cheerleading is. I supported this with a couple of reputable references. Maybe a section could be added to the article clearing up this misconception. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.2.130.88 (talk) 02:33, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Don't take the 'vandalism' thing too personally. The whole cheerleading sport/non-sport debate has quickly become one of my pet peeves and unfortunately have had a short fuse. According to Wikipedia's definition of sport, there usually is competition, but it isn't necessary, so for consistency Cheerleading should be considered a sport here. I have thought about setting up a section that talks about the debate. Maybe you could develop it.Thinkbui (talk) 07:38, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

The problem with the 100 year thing includes:

  • It does not need to be in the intro. The intro needs to describe what the thing is. Think of it as a thesis in a paper. The "100 year institution" may imply grandeur or something, so it may also be considered POV.
  • Plus, use specific years or year ranges (i.e. 1880s, 1890s) instead of 100-year old, etc. The intro already says that it dates from the late 1890s... WhisperToMe (talk) 22:05, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Fair enough. :) Thinkbui (talk) 00:59, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
