Talk:Buck's Rock

message: Just went through and edited a bunch of the article to make it neater.  Most of the stuff I did was only within specific paragraphs - there's a lot that could be done in terms of reorganizing whole sections in order to make it less sloppy.
Also, I tried to make the "Naming" section sound better, but I don't think I was too successful.  Somebody else should take a stab at it at some point. --68.173.1.145 (talk) 06:45, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

message: *Dates - Ernst Birthdate, Ilse birth/death, year transferred from the Simons > Bergers > Simons > Danzigs > Morrises, if they have passed away, when. If these people had children, who, and were they involved in the camp. Make a subsection about when the gong was created. 
*Images - If we could also get some photos up of old yearbooks -- one per decade -- that would be good to flesh out the article -- as well as the official logo, and some from the Work Camp days.
*Trivia - trivia about the camp would be good, times it has been noted in the media or in movies/television ... is the Everwood "Buck's Rock" related or a coincidence? Any awards or special notices? 
:*Some mention of where the name came from would be nice, too. I'd always heard that there was an actual rock that was the basis for the name.Bobzchemist 00:37, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *Actually, typing up the orientation booklet would be a copyright violation.  Even if rewrtitten or paraphrased, it's way too much information for an encyclopedia article.  If the orientation booklet is on the website for the camp, maybe just make a reference to in the external links section?  The daily schedule is too much as well, maybe just a summary? -- ArglebargleIV 02:33, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I've done some copyediting and proofreading on the article.  I then followed with a reformat of the camp listing -- it's not such a visual block in the article anymore. -- ArglebargleIV 03:19, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Notability? 

message: One of the listed shops, along with familiar activities like glassblowing, ceramics, sculpture, and a recording studio, is "Fleen". Web search produced nothing useful… except a page on the camp's own website. The content of this page gives little reason for confidence in its existence as anything but an in-joke;
: Some of the fantastic activities you can try out are paiting, the process by which one creates triple sided tape; Skyhook construction, in which you make skyhooks (skyhooks are the hooks that hold up the sky); and eating strawberry ice cream, the process by which one eats strawberry ice cream. All of these activities are monitored by left handed monkeys which is why you may find many left handed monkey wrenches scattered about the shop.
: It can be difficult to find the location of the Fleen Shop as it is set back away from the other workshops and studios. So far, two entrances to this amazing shop have been discovered although more are rumored to exist. The first and most well known way to get to the Fleen Shop is to jump backwards through the gong three times. The second route is through the secret passageway located behind the large Beatles wall hanging in the dining hall. After much thought we realized that there must be a door behind the wall hanging although every time we've attempted to use this entrance we've endured minor injuries. Perhaps this entrance is only available to counselors or only on every second Wednesday...
: And you thought glass blowing was a once in a lifetime opportunity!!!
Heck, I'll just link the word to that page. -- Thnidu (talk) 04:18, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
