Talk:Mentor, Ohio

message: Full disclosure: I am a former Mentorite (Go Cardinals!). I adjusted the previous pronunciation of "men-ter" to the more common "men-ner" because any "t" sound is so soft it's barely noticeable.  This also helps with the slogan because "better" is actually pronounced (probabably regionally) as "bedder." MartyR 03:43, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bedder in Menner 

message: I'd be interested in seeing a source showing that Mentor is now the largest high school in Ohio.  I don't necessarily doubt the claim (Mentor would certainly be a possible candidate for the title), but I seem to recall other schools (Findlay, Warren Harding) which have been the largest in Ohio in the recent past.  Can anyone verify? -- SwissCelt 16:41, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Edits by 198.30.228.3 (talk) removed from article:
Mentor was also featured in a special episode of The Jesse Bishop Show, a cable access show in Lake County played on LCN (Lakeland Cable Network). The episode, "It's Better In Mentor", featured the cast roaming Better In Mentor Days (BIM Days) interviewing people asking if they prefered BIM Days or the Chardon Maple Festival, as well as doing interpretive dances about Mentor, speaking in French, and doing a reenactment of how they thought Mentor was discovered.
*The website for Mentor's very own cable access stars.
Discussion:
Removed these lines from the main article for discussion on their notability and relevance.  Should provide some proof as to why the subject is notable and why it should be included in the article.  Would seem to be vanity edit.  --KeithB 04:55, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless it's Wayne's World, I seriously doubt a cable access show merits notability.  Of course, Wayne's World isn't really a cable access show. (*grin*)  I don't care if it's a vanity edit or not, it doesn't belong. -- SwissCelt 13:15, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for the input.  Well said.  The topic was added again by 198.30.228.3 - essentially reverted.  I reverted the article, and left a second notice on the user's talk page.  --KeithB 16:46, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Questionable notability for inclusion - Jesse Bishop Show? 

message: The Jesse Bishop Show , while not known to the world, is known by quite a few in the Lake County, Ohio region. An article was even written about them and their one year anniversary of being on TV . How much further do they have to go to be considered for a little section on this page? You could probably ask some of the record labels from music they've used and they would know The Jesse Bishop Show. I think they've used Lobster Records , Jade Tree Records , Suburban Home Records , and probably some others... All I know is that fans like me would love to have this little piece of The JBS on Wikipedia.
:First off, thanks for discussing it, rather than just reverting.  That's the way Wikipedia is supposed to work.
:Wikipedia is a great resource.  And it’s cool that anyone can contribute.  But Wikipedia is not a free-for-all.  There are rather extensive guidelines as to what is and is not appropriate for inclusion in an article.  I recommend that you browse through some of these guidelines, and then consider whether your edit in its current form really belongs in this article.
:As to your argument: you don’t mention any external sources that would verify the notability of the show.  The “article” link you supply isn’t really an article: it’s just an announcement about your show (and it looks as though it was written by someone associated with the show).
:The other links you provided don't help.  It isn’t the reader’s job to check sources. It’s your responsibility as an editor to reasearch your information, and include references to your sources.  Right now, your argument is basically that The Jesse Bishop Show should be included because you say it should.
:One other note: if you are planning on contributing to Wikipedia in the future (and I hope that you will), you may want to consider signing up as a registered user.  Then you can set up a user page for yourself, and you could mention your show on your page(I am assuming you are the producer?) as one of your interests.
:Also, it is considered proper etiquette to sign your posts to talk pages.  --KeithB 17:39, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Jesse Bishop Show... popular enough 

message: I have lived in Mentor for 29 years.  It has always been pronounced Menner.  
i'm from Mentor and i totally disagree with this; i've lived there all my life and i've never heard anyone pronounce Mentor without the "T."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hbsharkman (talk • contribs) 18:10, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Should Riley Ann Sawyers really be in the notable people section? She was a baby/toddler and is only known for her murder, not for anything she did as a person. She's not like Johanna who is automatically notable despite her toddler status because she was royalty. Paul Benjamin Austin (talk) 10:32, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Riley Ann Sawyers/ Notable people? 

message: There is a documentary covering the extreme bullying in the Mentor School District. Immigrants that came to this country for opportunities have had their children taken from them by suicide. The school counselors, the district, even the local courts refused to do anything about this. Anyone hoping to bring their kids to these schools MUST be informed of the carelessness or outright maliciousness towards immigrants and outsiders to protect them.
