Talk:Huron, Ohio

2010 Census Results Reference
I could not find a way to update the 2010 Census reference line. The link I used was as follows: http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=DEC_10_DP_DPDP1&prodType=table which brings up the results of a search of Huron city, Ohio.

There have been many fine athletes from Huron; I went to school with with quite a few of them myself. However, I think the High School Athletics & Co-Curricular Activities section is getting out of control and it must stop. Think about a potential reader of this article; someone who has been transferred to a plant in Northern Ohio and this person is looking for a town to move to. Huron, Ohio could be one of those towns.

The first two paragraphs are fine, and can stay the way they are. They state the facts and provide information about Huron High athletics that could be looked up with the Ohio High School Athletic Association, the High School web site and the archives of local media.

The Huron High School Band paragraph is where it starts going off the rails. The places where the band has performed are noteworthy and can stay. However, what is meant by "Mount Olympus?" Is that the real Mount Olympus in Greece? I don't think so. Is it something that only a band member would know about? If it is, take it out. This is not a place for inside jokes, take that to MySpace or YouTube.

It was said the band has received the "..."Ballin'" rating at the 2006 Huron Riverfest Parade." I have never heard of such an award. What is the significance of that award to someone who has happened upon the Huron, Ohio entry? A band can be voted the "best band" or whatever at the Huron Riverfest parade and it might be significant to someone in the band, or someone familiar with the band, but only to them. Win the best band award at the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade or the Rose Bowl Parade, that would be worth noting. Winning some kind of obscure award at the local community festival does not measure up.

The band director is a "noted kayak enthusiast" and before he was a "noted Akron alum." Noted by whom? Why? What does his being "kayak enthusiast" have to do with being the band director?

I feel the last paragraph is totally subjective and does not belong in this article. I am sure Steve West was and is a great athlete; but even if he is favored to win the Heisman Trophy next year; that paragraph does not belong in here. Move it to the Heidelberg College article instead.

I love my home town; I am happy you do as well. I am not trying to belittle any individual or group's accomplishments. Please note the Wikipedia guidelines. If you put something in; please make sure it is relevant and independently verifiable. Zars 17:14, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

I too am from Huron, I graduated from Huron High School about two years ago, and I have to say the stuff about the band was pretty funny, and if you gave me five or six gueses I bet I could pinpoint who wrote that stuff.

I can't say I disagree with uhh..."Zars", beings that Wikipedia has incredibly strict doctrines I would say that such postings are inaapropriate, and I wish I could honestly say I disagreed with the "strictness", if you will, but I guess that's what makes Wikipedia a decent place for facts and not just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo (there is a wikipedia-esque site where "mumbo-jumbo is encouraged, I don't remember what it's called though).

Anyway, I'll close by saying that I really don't give two baby bunny shits about whether or not the Huron band is mentioned/ficticiously documented in this article, nor do I give an aardvark's left testicle whether or not the band even exists, as a matter of fact, I think it would be more appropriate to talk about the weird jackass that the 2001 football team caught humping the "H" on the field, during practice. Let me also point out that when he was asked to leave, he didn't quickly jump up and run away as one would suspect, he actually said "Okay, I'm almost finished". Almost? Talk about a bastard child feeding on the spoiled breast milk of Satan's left tit.

So yeah, lets keep the band crap out of this otherwise pristine article, back in the day our band would have been worthy to be mentioned on this site, but now? Those new uniforms really lowered not only their aesthetic quality, but also their ability to play notes that weren't so flat they'd make a blue whale shit the diaper. Deuces.

Removal of "Harbor Bay Golf Dome" Paragraph
What do you think of removing the "Harbor Bay Golf Dome" paragraph? When it was first added, it was only a short time after its second destruction in a wind storm. I believe it has now been so long after its destruction that most Huron residents who had not used it themselves would be hard pressed to remember where it was. It was not re-built after the second failure and is now a few undefined structures that stand in a field of weeds. If it was a unique structure in Ohio, it may justify being kept; but a nearly identical structure also stood in Whitehall, Ohio and it also was destroyed in high winds following Hurricane Ike on September 14, 2008. I think it should be removed. Zars (talk) 16:04, 24 January 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zars (talk • contribs) 16:02, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

No response after 10 days, I am removing it. Zars (talk) 06:14, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Removal of "Kevin Howard football phenom" or whatever it says
I'm not going to remove this, but honestly does it belong here? I mean, all we're doing is making fun of some poor sap who probably doesn't even realize he's being made fun of on wikifuckingpedia...class of '07 or '08, because I know it was one of you, grow a pair of nuts and make fun of the kid to his face, don't back door it like a Senator at a whorehouse. I think we need to let this shit go man, sure it was funny when we were little kids but we're all adults now, lets leave "re-writing the record books" out of there. I mean, we all know it isn't true, and even if it was, do you really think that type of information would be something anyone in the world would give a shit about? I know if I were reading up on the town itself I wouldn't pay any attention to the football record books. Here's a question, do we even HAVE record books? I doubt it. Don't get me wrong, I laughed when I read it, but I'm an asshole, so don't take that as a compliment. I think we need to put more in there about that guy who walks around town in a black suit with a briefcase...you know, whackjobs like that, they're the ones people should be warned about before they move here.

Every other Kevin Howard site he had linked to in his content was removed by other administrators for dubious encyclopedic content and blatant advertising, so it was removed from here. Besides, if he was such a football phenomenon, how could he run or why does he need a lawn-mowing business? Sounds like a legend in his own mind.Zars (talk) 17:14, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
