The location map looks wrong. Mercer Island is further north. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:800C:1CF0:7AF0:5547:ECE0:BB22:554C ( talk) 21:16, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
How is 60% reliable? I am removing that sentence. 80, 90, even 70% would be reliable, but not 60. -- Gephart 23:53, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
hi —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.91.51.170 ( talk) 07:43, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
I removed the link to George Russell, a serial killer [1], because not all criminals from all cities are notable. Consider that he gets ~1030 Ghits, while Ted Bundy gets ~213000 Ghits. -- Alan Au 16:27, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Several "notable locals" have MIHS students as their only Google hits. Unless there's a verifiable 3rd party source for why an individual is at least locally notable, the entry shouldn't be listed here. -- Alan Au 03:03, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Whoever edited the part about recent MIHS band accomplishments needs to cite their sources. The claim about how it is "unheard of" for high school bands to play at football games needs be cited as I'm sure plenty of HS bands have played at professional football games. Also, the comments on the concert and jazz band need citation (perhaps of certain awards won). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.183.246.162 ( talk) 07:08, 7 December 2006 (UTC).
Why does the history tab on this article always generate the Wikimedia "white page of death"? Is it working for anyone else? -- Mikeblas 15:21, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

http://www.city-data.com/city/Mercer-Island-Washington.html http://www.city-data.com/zips/98040.html This web site has an almost creepy amount of information concerning Mercer Island. Would any person care to help integrate this data? There are also some fine photographs that have been uploaded to that site. WiZeNgAmOtX ( talk) 04:06, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
It seems like the word rival would be a better choice than arch-nemesis here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.36.38 ( talk) 15:49, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Do we need list affluent residents? The list would be thousands long and IMO naming people detracts from the privacy of the community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.252.146.251 ( talk) 20:43, 13 March 2010
So how long and wide is Mercer Island? Just saying it's so many square miles is not useful. 74.61.22.12 ( talk) 03:14, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
Would it be okay to add the fact the Paul Allen, Co-founder of Microsoft lives in the city in the Demographics section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robert4565 ( talk • contribs) 18:33, 17 June 2013
