football

football is NOT a womans sport.--Danlock2 04:08, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That may or may not be your personal opinion, however women have been allowed on the team. 24.149.23.119 12:19, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They very well have been allowed on the team, although I am sure that they faced much opposition. Currently at CF this would be a Men's sport, not a co-ed.

Is it a possibility to mention under the sports section that despite the fact that football is by standards not a woman's sport, CF has allowed women on the team? Also, referring to Danlock2's edit as sexist is not appropriate and technically is namecalling which Wikipedia frowns on.-Diabolos 20:35, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am fine with that inclusion. I apologize if my pointing out his bias could be construed as name calling. I felt, and still do, that his edits insisting that women fit into a particular gender-role and that a particular sport is only acceptable for a particular gender as very biased. It is no different on a sexist level to say that football is a men's sport today than it was to say that voting is a white man's activity, or that childrearing is a womans activity. Again, what I said was not meant to be a personal attack, it was merely pointing out that the opinion he was placing int he article consisted of a sexist bias. 205.161.214.82 16:10, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

calling me sexist is a personal attack. I attend Cedar Falls High School, and have NEVER heard of a woman playing football there. I tried to look up the IHSAA regs on this, because that is who's jurisdiction it falls under, but i couldn't find anything. I deleted the part about the list of sports offered because it is unnecessary, as per Gurch and Karynn on irc://freenode/wikipedia --danlock² | _talk 20:55, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, where exactly did I call YOU anything? You made the following editorial comment when you decreed that women cannot play foot ball :"it is however not a womens sport.". I replied with :" Your sexist bias aside, that is for the school to decide. They decided to allow women to play it." This does not call you anything. It states, based on the evidence as given by your edit comments and edit history, that you have a sexist bias. This is NOT against any wiki policy that I have ever heard of. This is no different than me saying you were adding any other sort of bias in an article, such as christian/athiest, pro-life,pro-choice. 205.161.214.82 22:07, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Um, you called me a sexist, when I clearly, in real life, am not. My best friend is a girl... Since when are you the all knowing mind of all things women's sports. Traditionally, football has not been a woman's sport, and in recent years at CFHS I have not heard of a girl, at any school in our conference allowing a girl to play. If you can give me a citation of such, or something in the ISHAA guidelines that say that this can happen then we can possibly re-add / somehow incorporate the fact that girls are in fact allowed to play football, because that is unique. Also, you called me a sexist, as Diablos was kind enough to point out above --danlock² | _talk 01:43, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wrestling 06-07

Is the thing about the wrestlers important? I don't even know who they are and I go to CFHS.... I'm going to take it out, feel free to revert if if its important, Monica or Vossman. --Danlock2 23:09, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

= Cedar Falls Rules

Wow, someone actually put that? --Danlock2 23:25, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, someone's also put that Mr. Slykius rules. -Diabolos 00:17, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Immature much? --Danlock2 04:20, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As a CF grad, I can attest that Slykius most definatly does not rule.... --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.149.23.119 (talk • contribs)

School Colors

I really think that the colors are red and black and white... not just red and white, since the teams usually have red black and white on their uniforms. -Danlock2 19:42, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, Red and Black. -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.149.23.119 (talk • contribs)

thanks for signing how you're supposed to. you have no idea why I posted that several months ago. I was simply documenting changes --Danlock2 18:51, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for being an --- when I tried to help. -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.149.23.119 (talk • contribs)

Wasn't being an ---, just simply stating that you don't need to snap back about things that were edited before you even started editing this page. --Danlock2 19:04, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You were being an ass. You snapped at me for miss-signing a comment when I pointed out you were wrong. -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.149.23.119 (talk • contribs)

That comment was a long time ago. --Danlock2 03:54, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Graduation

how does that look? I can get more info if needed. --Danlock2 17:29, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Year Established

circa 1950 was placed on the page and that may be correct for the building, but my grandfather attended CFHS circa 1938 where the rec center is located now.

the date was changed by J-beda I'm going to assume that it is correct --Danlock2 14:19, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, they just took it from the history section. I reverted it but then they reverted it back, so I gave up. Namely the first school was established in 1846... the high school came much later. --vossman 15:43, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

--vossman 23:53, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

hmm, very true... I attend the school now, and I am going to attempt to find out from the school when it was first established.

--Danlock2 17:34, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

also, what do you want to know about the English department? I can give current info for that.

--Danlock2 17:40, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

tough to say. Just felt it needed to be included.--vossman 18:22, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

the questions about cedar falls page is really dated... should it be used --Danlock2 20:54, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Page philosophy

I am an alumni from a decade ago and I am just trying to create a worthwhile page. There are several tips on Portal:Schools and Wikipedia:Schools to create a nice page and I've tried to model this page after the Hopkins School and more locally Hempstead High School (Dubuque, Iowa) and others schools in the Mississippi Valley Conference as well the Des Moines school, like Valley High School (Des Moines, Iowa) --vossman 18:36, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup

I noticed that "We" is used repeatedly in the article. To the best of my knowledge, this is against Wikipedia guidelines. Also, does the Gay Straight Alliance need to be mentioned? I'm not homophobic, but if we mention this GSA, whihc is of no noteability, we need to mention every GSA in the nation. -Diabolos 22:48, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs to be cleaned up. It reads as though it was written by the PTA. I've read articles that have been deleted that read better than this. I'm going and rewritting this. -Diabolos 23:22, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, every activity is written by an IP address and it's almost as if they are advertizing their activiy. I have been meaning to look at this myself. I wouldn't be surprise if its the individual teacher in-charge. I hope my history section doesn't irritate you, it has been hard finding sources. --vossman 01:13, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, no, no. The history section is verrifiable and it is the only thing that I do agree with. I'm going to add the music programs due to the numerous awards they've won. -Diabolos 01:42, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was looking at the article, and shouldn't the science bowl information go under "Extracurricular Activities"? -Diabolos 01:52, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to move the Science Bowl thing. The whole article is a work in progress, there are so many incomplete areas. --vossman 19:57, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah guys, I totally agree. It is pretty nasty. I did not write the majority of it. I go to Cedar Falls High School, and I have no idea who added GSA to the Article.--Danlock2 12:41, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was an IP address who was later blocked due to a massive amount of vandalism. It was probably a Cedar Falls High School related person because I traced the IP address and it stated that it belongs to CFU. -Diabolos 23:47, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, this article will get better with time, I hope to help maintain over the next year while I got to college @ UNI --Danlock2 13:52, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I took out Questions and links about Cedar Falls because it seems irrevelant. Also, what does the book in the refrence section have to do with the article? It seems as though it maybe should just go with the cedar falls article.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Danlock2 (talk • contribs)

The Book, ALL the stuff in the history section comes from the book. --vossman 17:20, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

True, I admit my error, at least I think it was me that made that edit, i must have forgot to sign... --Danlock2 19:02, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, the history stuff is indeed important. Stuff about the accomplishments of the music department and atheletics teams might be important. But do we really need to have the graduation requirements down? -Diabolos 06:26, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Music

Why is there a need for a citation about the orchestra recieving a Division one rating?--Danlock2 12:50, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Someone told me that all things needed to have citations and evidence supporting them. I was more or less being safe. On another note, does anyone know what rating the Jazz band recieved last year? -Diabolos 23:48, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They recieved a division I, anything else and Ramsey and Engelhardt would have shot them --Danlock2 18:52, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just added that the band got a division I rating last weekend. However much I wanted to cite myself as the source for that info I added a link to the IHSMA page. --Danlock2 13:51, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
