Talk:Silver Creek, New York

message: "Clearly retarded at silver creek aren't mature enough to not vandalize this article. I know the kids who are doing this and they are to stupid to stop so I believe the article should be Semi-Protected as it was before to prevent this from happening in the future. I say in June of 2009 the majority of seniors and juniors who are doing this will have graduated, assuming none of them fail which is likely to happen."
- I couldn't read this without laughing. Lrn2spel&gramar kthx

thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: In this article, I have noticed a few things that have wording that is similar to what wikipedia says are Weasel Words.  An example in the article is where they call "Howard Ehmke" a hero, and some people could argue saying that he is not a hero.  A better word that could be used could be something like "legend".--~Cuddlezzz~ 14:08, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Positive Note 

message: I am a very active student at Silver Creek High School, and this website could make it very easy to communicate with other students and teacher about what is new in school.  This website could be especially helpful for students in school athletics and clubs to post when and where practices, games, and meetings are. --Emily987 (talk) 15:13, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Silver Creeek is just about the best place to grow up. Everyone knows everyone, and it really comes in handy when you forget your homework at school because there are so many people that wouldn't mind helping you out by sending you the homework for that night.  Theschool website also really helps by letting you go on and see if your missing anything if you were absent that day. Reedabook (talk) 15:13, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

message: The article says, "Silver Creek is home to a Skew Arch Railroad Bridge, one of few bridges in the world built on an angle." I'm afraid this is a very parochial view of the world and utterly incorrect. There were literally thousands of skew arch bridges built of brick and stone in the United Kingdom alone during the years of rapid railway expansion during the second half of the 19th Century. Many of them survive and many are still in use. Athough the skew arch was once considered very difficult to construct, once it was understood, thanks to the works of pioneers like Peter Nicholson (1828) and Charles Fox (1836), British engineers didn't hesitate to build them in locations where their advantages outweighed their extra expense and complexity. Have a look at Kielder Viaduct and Neidpath Viaduct for two fine examples. I've therefore changed the word world to country. MegaPedant (talk) 15:01, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Regarding some of the recent edits and additional material added, I think  that some additional work needs to be done to keep this content in wikipedia.  Please provide verifiable references for these topics.  Please keep in mind that wikipedia does not allow original research.  I am also concerned some topics violate the undue weight guideline.  Thanks. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 14:46, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

No mention of this for Silver Creek, NY.  Why not?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.72.235.5 (talk) 17:51, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
