Talk:Half Hollow Hills Central School District/Archive 1

Spicy chicken?
Can anyone argue, with reliable sources, that the mention of "spicy chicken days" is at all notable or encyclopedic? (ESkog)(Talk) 04:58, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Uh, it is popular, but I doubt notable. -- Rory 0 96 02:36, 14 March 2006 (UTC)


 * The cafeterias serve Spicy Chicken weekly and it is a running joke in the school (among the less mature kids) to holler it as some sort of chant. Mentioning it is not necessary or appropriate for a Wiki entry.--129.21.106.93 05:02, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I removed it, they are pov, nonsense, and dowright vandalism. Please quit doing this. Your talk page has all the warnings it says who. Check the history. You can't add uncited personal attacks on people and think its going to stay. Its called vandalism which is against wiki policy. You are already on your last warning so please stop the vandalism and be constructive. --Xiahou 02:33, 10 March 2007 (UTC)


 * that and the obvious page blankings are blatant vandalism--Xiahou 02:34, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

ok. sry. It's jst I go 2 that district and I hate it. I apologize.

I really am sorry. Idk wht got into me. It won't happen again. I am sorry I made your Vandalism watch thing hard 4 u. I m really honestly sorry.
 * its ok, not a hassle at all. It takes seconds to scan through stuff and randomly pick and article in the recent changes section and see if the change is vandalism. Once you change something it stays on your watch list so when you click recent changes (on the left) any changes to pages you have are on your watch list are bolded. Once you catch on to things, make an account/username for yourself and take a look. --Xiahou 03:01, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Questions
Should someone mention Kyle Merber, Tobias Harris and Lauren Lisann? I keep seeing their names in Newsday. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.230.38.115 (talk) 15:52, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

No. Don't mention them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.46.164.129 (talk) 00:53, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * If they are notable, feel free to add them to the page. Thedjatclubrock :-) (T/C) 02:07, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Name
Does anyone know where this strange name came from? If anyone has a reliable source, that might be something to go on the page. Chris 22:06, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It's been the name of the surrounding neighborhoods for I don't even know how long (not officially, though, even though there was a movement to make HHH a village of its own, but I won't bore you with the details). I don't think anyone really knows what it means (as in is it hills that are half empty and half solid, or are the hollow hills cut in half?). -- Rory 0 96 05:45, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I've read a lot about the history of our neighborhood, but I haven't come across any true derivation for Half Hollow Hills. The library in Melville has a great essay (old, though) on the history of the Town of Huntington.  mxdxcxnx T C 19:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

and while we're on the subject of names...why is the big auditorium at East named the Eugene Orloff Auditorium? who was Orloff and why did we name the theater after him? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.230.38.115 (talk) 14:30, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I've heard that the name comes from the local geography consisting half of hollows and half of hills, but i'm not sure if that's true, or even verifiable. Firestorm 21:40, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I believe the name of the auditorium was derived from the name of the Board of Education's president at the time Hills East was built. TheDJAtClubRock :-) (T/C) 16:16, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Cleanup rationale
As most high school articles on Wikipedia do, this article does not have much verifiable information, nor sources for it. After cleaning it up, it is a bit better, but I'm sure the page will be vandalized over time and will grow naturally. I plan on adding pictures and expanding the high school pages into their own pages. This article deserves the classification I gave it for the time being until the guidelines on the project page are complete.  mxdxcxnx T C 20:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

great article, but a little outdated -- the Hills West dance team fell on their collective *** last year, they won a grand championship in modern dance at nationals only because they were the only team to compete in that category, and they didn't win in jazz or hip hop -- came in dead last.

maybe you should mention tobias Harris, he's a top 5 pick for college basketball. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.230.38.115 (talk) 17:02, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

GOCEreviewed
I've removed the copy edit tag from the article and placed GOCEreviewed here because the other tags mean that so much needs to be rewritten and then it would need copy editing again. Also, a lot of unnotable statements (e.g. "The music wing of the school is located in the hallway right behind the stage") and dated ones (like "Recently, the school has formed ..." and "A new turf field has just been completed at the school", which is also unnotable) need sprucing up. --Stfg (talk) 19:23, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
