 * Nice rant. Your stuff is clearly POV and unsourced.  If you would like to provide sources and stop personal attacks, you can continue to contribute.  Wikibofh 15:05, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

I needn't seek your permission. If my contributions are not valued, they will not be received.

Introductory and transition sentences from paragraphs that needed them were removed when my edits were reverted; now the page has no flow from one paragraph to the next. You may write them yourself.

I don't care enough to continue contributing after this, but please consider whether your behavior as moderator is alienating other competent and knowledgeable contributors. Goodbye.

To "216"--I, whom you were referring to in your note in your latest 'revision,' have nothing to do with the administration, I am a NWS graduate. Most of us can speak fairly of NWS without making personal attacks -- LG

Too Detailed?
There seems to be a lot extraneous details in this article: "...a written senior thesis (20-30pp, although many students write longer papers)" Yes, some students probably write long papers, some probably short, but who cares? "Friday is Bagel Day. In the past, a variety of themed days and events took place..." Every school has such activities and they are not particularly interesting or noteworthy. "Seniors are also expected to continue a full academic courseload, with 2-3 courses from the mathematics, science, or language departments and at least one arts course." Is it all that uncommon for seniors of any school to be expected to take classes?

These and others I think should be taken out or re-written. Discussion? CoachMcGuirk 20:37, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

I've deleted some stuff along those lines. It still feels like the article is basically a website to advertise the school. I'll probably come back and delete more if someone doesn't cite some sources. For example, a detailed discussion of Ultimate Frisbee is unnecessary, although I haven't eliminated it because the section on sports is still sort of relevant (and one of the few parts of the article with any citations). However, the entire section on School Culture was really just advertising copy, none of it was sourced, and it seemed like most of it couldn't be. Even if it was, notability would be questionable. For example, what school around Seattle (especially First Hill) doesn't have MLK day activities? Maybe NWS has more or bigger ones, which is great, but it's not worth putting in an encyclopedia.

Photo?
Would a photo of The Northwest School be appropriate here? I live within eye shot of the school and could go out and take a shoot sometime so we wouldn't have to worry about copyrights. Though, with all the construction going on now, not sure I'd be able to get a good angle. CoachMcGuirk 20:40, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Reorganization
I've created some headers and moved paragraphs around, but the text doesn't flow very well. I will work on fixing this, unless somebody else does! Dcorry (talk) 17:02, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

It looks a lot better already. Nice work.
