Talk:Polytechnic School (California)

message: To avoid getting into a revert war, I'm asking Kiwidude here to source his or her change of the school colors in the infobox back to orange & white from orange & blue. This picture suggests that orange & blue is correct. -EDM 6 July 2005 00:08 (UTC)
*Not having seen a justification from Kiwidude, I am changing this critical piece of information back to orange & blue.  Please don't revert to white without providing a valid source on this page. -EDM 8 July 2005 05:37 (UTC)
I have documents from the school stating that it is orange and WHITE.  The athletic team uniforms in this picture http://www.polytechnic.org/athletics/pantherclub/photos/soccer-boys-varsity/images/DSCF0339.jpg
the uniform colors are orange and white.  this picture suggests that orange and white are correct.
the school spirit squad's unifroms are in white and orange.  the school wouldn't misrepresent the colors on the cheerleader's uniforms! picture: http://www.polytechnic.org/athletics/pantherclub/photos/spiritsquad/images/DSCF0387.jpg

*Notwithstanding Kiwidude's somewhat hysterical tone on this page and elsewhere, he's still incorrect.  If the overall color scheme of the school's website doesn't make it plain enough, there's this reminiscence that makes it pretty clear (it's item #2). But hey, whatever. -EDM 8 July 2005 22:14 (UTC)
I have a document saying that the school colors are orange and white.  would you like me to send it to you?Kiwidude July 9, 2005 01:22 (UTC)
*Nope. -EDM 9 July 2005 02:51 (UTC)
Heavens to Betsy.  The colors are orange and white.  (I attended Poly for 12 years.)  Ikkyu2 01:04, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

message: * I seem to have run into a disagreement with my edit/removal.  I removed an addition of a list of ASB presidents.  I believe that the information is not necessary.  Other school articles don't include ASB presidents.  Thoughts? Kiwidude 17:30, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Student body officers change every year, so the information is too variable to include in a long-term project. Furthermore, and no offense to anyone, ASB officers are not terribly notable. -Will Beback 21:04, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure if this is the case, but it seems like the credo is being displayed as four separate ideals.  In reality, it is one four line credo.  Again, I'm not sure if this is the case, just how it looks visually to me.
I have gone to Poly for 14 years and recited the credo every morning for a number of them.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.144.203.234 (talk) 23:39, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I deleted the Wiseman brothers from the list of "notable alumni."  It is a self-promotional move and advertising should not in any way be condoned here.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eddy23 (talk • contribs) 04:02, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Please stop removing the references to Ezra Gosney being a eugenicist.  I know that this fact may not be something the school is proud of, but his work as a eugenicist is much more historically significant and much more a part of his legacy than his philanthropy.  Gosney was a eugenicist and, for better or for worse (though clearly for worse), that is a part of Poly.  And yes, he was an inspirtation to the eugenics movement in Nazi Germany, and Hitler cited his work on a number of occasions.  The school shouldn't be editing this page for its own means (see jyenpoly's edits) - it should be a page like any other.  Stop removing these links simply becuase they might reflect poorly on Poly.  It defeats the objectivity of this page.  Thank you. Eddy23 (talk) 02:07, 7 May 2009
* What does Ezra Gosney's historical position on eugenics have to do with Polytechnic School?  Nothing, that's what.  Leave this highly emotional and controversial topic out of this article; it's irrelevant.  75.15.120.244 (talk) 05:01, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
