[edit] Initial Overhauling
I...doubt that anyone has a problem with me overhauling the Wikipedia page. As a current student, I'm pretty sure I can figure out some information that's needed. I don't know much about West Hill's history, however, so if anyone's reading this and actually knows something, add it in! Blurion 05:56, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- And just to add to my earlier edit/comment, I know that the robotics team did very well in a competition. I removed that from the trivia section just because I'm sure we placed better one time and think that would be better. When the weekend's over, I'll be sure to ask around.

[edit] Citation
All right, I've managed to get a hold of West Hill's 50th Anniversary book, thanks to a friend and Ms. Hodgins. I'll be going through it in more detail to add to the history section. It's also where all the current information was taken. I'm just mentioning it here because I'm not exactly sure how to cite this thing... I'm pretty sure that if you need confirmation of its existence, you can call up the school, though :P I'm also going to try and take a picture. The campus section was written with my own knowledge and a bit from the anniversary book. I'll get a confirmation on the number of classrooms tomorrow, as I'm not quite sure if it's accurate.

[edit] Trivia Section Removal
Hi I cleaned it up a bit, to remove POV and puffery. I also reorganized the extracurricular activities section. I marked the trivia section with a maintenance tag, as trivia is only appropriate for very small stub articles. Once an article is this full, it should have trivia converted to other sections. See WP:TRIVIA. Jerry lavoie 01:20, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- Ah, thank you. Since I was writing from the 50th anniversary book and my own experience, it would of course be POV, so I was a bit worried about it. I'm pretty sure the one about Denham Brown to extra curricular activities - sports. I'm unsure as to where the one about UTSC should go, as well as the middle one. I think it's important to mention somewhere that West Hill has three exam periods, as I've heard of no other high school in Ontario that still does this. Maybe they can go under an academics section? There's some data about the OSSLT and math EQAO results on the TDSB site, I believe, so such a section is feasible. Blurion 03:25, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Controversy Updates
Hello, the extra-curricular sections are now beefed up in all of its sub-sections, and a few touch-ups here and there. I've also added in the school logo. Being an alumnae of the school, I've also added more to the Controversy part too. I don't believe it's right to hide the low points of the school in order to better its image, but instead to let the public see that this school has had its difficulties, and has made substantial efforts and the right actions to overcome their struggles and persevere. That is what I believe shows strength within a school and does NOT reflect negatively upon the school. Whoever decides to delete that information I've added, is cowardly of the school's past, and is not strong enough to build the school into a better educational environment.

[edit] Regarding Famous Alumni
I'm wondering about those people listed there... Did they really go to West Hill? At the school, there's a wall of some of our famous alumni, but I don't think I've seen Paul Tracy on there. I have, however, seen that guy from Highliner frozen fish products. Perhaps I'll take pictures of this wall as a method to provide much needed citations in the article. Off topic, but I'll try to get pictures around the school, particularly one across the street and one in our quad. Also off topic but I changed formating of my own comments on this page because it annoyed me. :D;; Blurion 01:16, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
