Assess

A very well referenced site - so B. Its short on photos. I think this site should add a few pictures and then submit itself for Peer review on its way to GA status. Needs some tidying up to control a bit of formatting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Victuallers (talk • contribs)

Mock Trial

Trinity is listed at [1] as the 1987 and 1995 Texas delegates to the Mock Trial National Championship. --Hebisddave 20:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Haka "not actually Tongan"?

I'm definitely open to the idea of the Haka not being a traditional Tongan dance, but I and the article both would need some sort of citations to counter the Wall Street Journal article and other sources. I'd also warmly suggest that it be phrased carefully to not encourage drive-by vandalism, as the common local consensus (true or not) is that the dance is Tongan. :) --Hebisddave 14:48, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that WSJ article says "The haka is more than 200 years old and originated with New Zealand's Maori people...". I think a look at Haka, Ka Mate, Haka of the All Blacks, and [2] will clear things up. It's been used before games by NZ teams since 1884, but lately has spread quite widely outside NZ - see Haka in popular culture. No disrespect to those performing it, but it's just not accurate to refer to it as "a traditional Tongan dance".
The dance is in NO WAY tongan! it is true that tongans have their own dance, but to claim a NZ dance is tongan is just insensative. (♠Taifarious1♠) 02:54, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Football section changes

I removed the recent district championships for now. My thinking is that district championships are much less notable than state-level success. Lots of teams regularly win district championships, and listing each time they do so would just be a list, and not add to the article. I'm not sure about the change of year for the recent "state semifinalist" placement, since the source says it's 2001, but I don't know enough to have an opinion. --Hebisddave 14:44, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Might have to revert back to March 12

I can't really follow the huge number of un-summarized edits to the Trinity High School article:

  • There don't need to be bold HTML tags around section titles.
  • The citations that I can figure out that were added, so far, have all been incorrect (The WFAA alumni listing does not list Megan Danahey, the Trojan booster club page lists the games for a single season and does not talk about the long-term record against Bell High School).
  • I'm concerned that Image:GSs 1560.jpg is not actually licensed because another image you recently uploaded by the same user was posted as self-made and licensed for use when it was very much not made by that user and not licensed for use.
  • Information about the yearbook team is copied verbatim from [3].

I'm sorry, I really can't follow the edits, and too many of them are false or incomplete...There's just too many incomplete citations and such to let it all stay. I'll spend a little longer seeing if I can salvage, but if I can't I'm either going to revert back to about March 12th and try to add the useful ones back in, or do a major re-write or something. --Hebisddave (talk) 20:55, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why does Michael Muhney keep getting removed?

References to Michael Muhney have been removed 1 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 times now. The first three times were accompanied by blatantly incorrect edits ("They wish they were famous"). If there's a reason not to have him in the article (did he really go to Trinity?), please say what it is... --216.62.101.13 (talk) 13:04, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • (originally posted on User_talk:216.62.101.13) Michael Muhney was removed several times because the entry was incorrect. He did go to Trinity High School. He may be a working actor in L.A. at this moment (I can't confirm). However, he had nothing to do with Trinity High School winning the UIL One Act Play State Championship in 1992. 207.181.232.186 (talk) 03:13, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • (originally posted on User_talk:207.181.232.186) (re: what you wrote on my talk page) Awesome, thanks, that's all you had to say. When someone removes information with no explanation, it looks like drive-by vandalism. I'm still not sure why anyone was deleting him from the alumni list and vandalizing it with "they wish they were famous", so that's still weird. --216.62.101.13 (talk) 21:15, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
