[edit] Article improvement

Most high schools have an infobox. Can anyone get an image of the Samo Hi seal or the Viking logo? Picture of campus? What's the enrollment? -Will Beback 09:57, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

I've just added a picture of one part of the campus with my cell phone. I'm going to try to get the logo and the official seal on Tuesday.--Gabizou 18:03, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Monica François

Can't find any information about this person at all, unusual for someone supposed to be a Playboy model. Her article is up for AFD, if that passes, then presumably this reference should also go. TheGrappler 06:01, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

yeah, the playboy thing was a joke because everyone loves monica(but who wouldn't). she's is not curently credentialed to be an official playboy model. Seamus MacKool, The Juggernaut 21:32, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eddie Lopez's death

Fixed present tense to past since the event has passed already. --SkinnerIJA 05:56, 3 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] the AV club and the Film Festival

hi, i am a current student at samo, and i'd like to add an article on the AV club, Running with Speakers. i noticed that other student organizations dont have their own sections, so i can see that it might be unfair to groups like MEChA, BSU, and the Student Body Leadership, but Running with Speakers gets very little credit for what they do. an AV kid might leave school from 6 to 9 on an averege day, working on everything from getting a teacher a light bulb for his or her overhead projector to setting up a profesional sound system for a pep rally. we support every school activity that has to do with either video or sound. the AV club is also linked to the digital video and news video classes. the same teacher that is the advisor for th AV club teachers these classes and we have produced award winning work (i can actually give you a link to some of our work on youtube.com, but i'd have to find it). our film festival brings in student films from all over LA county and is widley respected.

i hope wikipedia finds it apropriate to write a section on Running with Speakers.

It'd be fine to have a section on clubs. I'll set up the header for you and you can fill it in. Keep it down to a couple of sentences written in an encyclopedic tone. It'd be swell to get a list of all clubs, if one is available. -Will Beback 01:42, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
OK, I got it started based on what you wrote here. Please add or corret as necessary. -Will Beback 01:49, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
here is a complete list of all samo clubs

http://www.smmusd.org/samohi/Students/clubs/index.htm

do we want to include all of them?

Since there is a comprehensive list, and since the info is likely to change, perhaps it'd be better to simply provide a link to the list. It wouldn't be fair to only list a couple, and it would overwhelm the article if we tried to list them all. -Will Beback 00:31, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Importance assessment

I have changed the importance rating from High to Mid, as the Santa Monica article better meets the Mid criteria of "Adds further depth, but not vital to encyclopedia", than the High criteria "Very much needed, even vital". -- Lissoy 20:52, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unreferenced statements

The article contains many unreferenced statements, some of which contradict information available elsewhere online (such as the history section, which is vastly different from the Samohi Alumni website history pages). I have left the material in place, but added tags marking the need for sources. Other areas needing sources include the competition results for musical groups. I marked quite a few spots, if any of you have any sources to include! Thanks. Harsimrankaur (talk) 09:05, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
