Why so many for 2005? I thought it was usual to have only one. Pzavon 03:53, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

First off, the list looks like spam - being just a list of items with no connection to this particular school and no reference to a source for the information. It is simply a list of activities, several of which would seem to be impermissible at any school event (freaking, disrobing, humping, etc). That fortifies my impression of it as spam. My personal opinion is that, at the least, it lacks a neutral point of view. What are the circumstances under which these prohibitions were imposed? Why is it worth mentioning in this article? Who objects and why? Who agrees and why?
I'll not remove it again for a day or so, pending your reasonable response.

No bumping and grinding at school dances? Recent valedictorians and their colleges of destination? Wikipedia isn't LiveJournal, MySpace, etc. These are useless pieces of information relevent only to alumni of one school. I'm pearing this article down. Killua 23:55, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
I'm going to need a better reference for Walnut Hill's claim to being one of the U.S.'s leading high schools than a link to WH's website. How about something a bit more impartial and more statistically related? As it is, there is no evidence presented to prove such a thing. Coming from the Cincinnati area, I know Walnut Hills is a great school, but I've always thought of St. Xavier as being better (it has more than twice the National Merit finalists.) Any hard data or newspaper articles? If not, I'm going to be deleting that comment. Killua 18:09, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
If you had done your research better you would of found http://www.woi-tv.com/Global/story.asp?S=4838510 there is your "proof" ... Killua do you have something against Walnut Hills High School because is certainly seems so [24.165.112.173said this on 19 August 2006]
Please note the 6 May 2006 edit by 216.14.74.21 in which "soccer team" is replaced by "academic team." Can anyone who is closer to the current events there say whether this is a reasonable edit or vandalism? Pzavon 15:05, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Supposedly WHHS only refers to students who graduate as alumni. I've never attended WHHS (though I've been to academic team matches there), so I can't argue for that; however, I am a big fan of using more official definitions (see Merriam-Webster, Oxford, even the Wikipedia article) rather than a term that is misused (either ignorantly or deliberately).
Even if WHHS does use that term in that way, is that a valid reason to modify the wiki entry, since the accepted use of the word does NOT include that definition? I'm assuming this is because they don't want an inconvenient piece of trivia (Manson being an alumnus) to be bandied about. 74.129.17.185 01:54, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Most of the very specific accomplishments listed in the athletics section lack any sort of citation and don't seem to me to have an encyclopedic tone in their presentation. Is there anyone watching this article who can provide relevant citations? In the absence of citations, I propose removing most of these highly specific assertions. Comments?

no your dumb do you even go to walnut? 208.102.1.217 ( talk) 02:19, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
I attended WHHS from 1964 to 1967 (7th through 9th grades) before moving away from the area. Also, my father, Wayne L. Gregory, taught there for 37 years, during which time he directed at least two theatrical productions per year. Both the Post and the Enquirer reviewed virtually every play there, just as critically as they would the touring Broadway productions that came to the city--and Dad's plays often ended up getting better reviews. He had followed in the footsteps of someone whose name escapes me right now, who had brought the school's theatrical productions into prominence. I think this wikipedia entry needs expansion in the area of theater at WHHS. The reviews from local newspapers would be a good place to get information.

To much detail on buildings, it reads more like a brochure now. We don't need to know it all, that's what the school website is for. This is an encyclopedia. I'm not at the moment what level is appropriate, but certainly the tunnels don't belong. And talking about whiteboards and the latest technology is promotional as well as too much detail. I also note that the recent edit left the old sources. Doug Weller ( talk) 12:19, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
