Talk:Mason, Michigan

Shattock
Why was he removed from famous people? Sure, he isnt nationally known, he was the one who found the remains of Michigan's very first flag. Thats kind of important.

 * I don't think it's really notable. Was it published anywhere? I mean, it's not really on the scale of Malcom X LilDice 02:39, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

It was recently referenced in the University of Michigan's LSA magazine (November 2011 issue) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.95.126.178 (talk) 15:19, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Dairy Hill
Is there a reason Dairy Hill is a point of interest for Mason? Seems to me the Ingham County courthouse or the Library are more interesting than an ice cream shop. Hollosyt 16:42, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree, do we really want the Dairy Hill to be the face of Mason on wikipedia, I don't think so. LilDice 22:22, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I've removed the advertisement for the ice cream shop and replaced with a photo of the Library. LilDice 00:20, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Potter Party?
Just because it's large doesn't mean it's notable. Will this be notable in 5 years? No, it's a promotion for a book store. Has it been published anywhere? I doubt it. I think you have good intentions Countmall, but it doesn't belong in the article. LilDice 23:16, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm inclined to agree. There are hundreds, if not thousands of similar such parties in towns around the world. Is there something distinctive about this one? older ≠ wiser 23:28, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm also not real sure about the craft fairs, etc. They aren't local government sponsored, notable community events but just things put on by the local antique shops, etc. LilDice 15:12, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * First of all, the Potter Party is big event, it takes up a quarter of the entire town square. If you take away the write up on the Potter Party, fine.  Just keep the mention, it kinda big.

Second, the craft shows are Masons thing. Take those away, ya got nothin. The craft shows are Mason's thing. Take a ho away from a pinp he aint a pimp no more, understand. --Count Mall 18:54, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Wow, quite elegantly phrased. However, the question here is notability. There are craft shows in many towns, I wouldn't say craft shows are Mason's 'thing'. Is it famous for it? I don't think so. There are standards on notability on wikipedia. LilDice 20:57, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * They're not really craft shows, I just ditn know what to call them. People sell cookies, a car is raffled off, and the local Boy Scouts sell books.  Its actually a big deal if you take this off.  This is Mason's only town thing, the fair is a county thing.--Count Mall 00:20, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

What does mediation mean? Potter Party is a lesser celebration, so I agree that it doesnt need to be here. It could at least be mationed, though... (it can stay gone, though)---Count Mall 03:29, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * When two editors can't agree on what should be in an article the issue can be brought in front of a panel who will review the issue and previous discussions to recommend a decision. Thanks for agreeing it should stay out, I think that's the right decision. LilDice 04:26, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Mason history
Michigan Magazine just had a wonderful article on Mason in its most recent February 2008 issue. Should I put in a history section? Everything would be from the article. It has facts like "Orginally called Mason Center" and "Founded for the purpose of being the state's capitol". It thinks it important, and I would have entered it in already but I think this much information needs to be sourced, and I dont know how to source. --Count Mall (talk) 20:33, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes please do, just make sure you source everything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LilDice (talk • contribs) 14:51, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Mason Public Schools
Some discussion of the school district seems appropriate. It could mention MEAP and other test scores, the various schools, graduation rates, and athletics (state titles in soccer in 1989, 1990, 1997, wrestling in the 2000s, and golf I think in the 1960s). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.67.179.8 (talk) 02:32, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
