This page, especially the Mission paragraph, looks to be extremely POV or perhaps written by the school. If so, it needs quotation marks and an indication of the source. Xacidx 05:09, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

The article has been taken mostly verbatim from the school's website (see: http://www.hths.mcvsd.org/overview/mission.shtml; http://www.hths.mcvsd.org/academics/index.shtml; http://www.hths.mcvsd.org/academics/other.shtml) - 26 January 2007

[edit] March 2007

Hello all, and thank you for contributing to this school site. I'm part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools/Assessment team, and, as requested, I'm reviewing this page. I'm currently giving it a grade of Start on the Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale and an importance of High on this importance scale.

My reasoning is as follows: This article is informative but very WP:POV. It also needs to cite many more of its claims and information. There also may be copywrite issues. Adam McCormick 05:04, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

From this article, it appears that HTHS no longer has a FIRST team. Is this true? I'd hate to see Team 30 go down the tubes. -alum '03 128.253.43.13 03:25, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, that is the case. The robotics advisers (as well as the administration) decided that it cost too much to do every year. In fact, they got rid of it the year before I came, which is disappointing. It may interest you, however, that we are setting up our own competition this year we plan to extend to other schools next year. We're definitely keeping the club alive and well, despite the lack of first participation BadgerOfDarkness 02:22, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:HTHSLogo.gif

Image:HTHSLogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:22, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
