Talk:North Carolina Supreme Court

message: I don't know how to fix it, so I will leave it to another.   Under the "20th century" part, the link for Justice Harry Martin is highlighted, but links to an article about a completely different Harry Martin.  Justice Harry Martin might have been in his seventies or even 80s when I was a student of his in the 1990s, he was not an hundred and fourty as he would be if he was the guy the link leads to.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.121.92.169 (talk) 01:07, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:North Davidson High School

message: Greetings fellow editors!
I just deleted the list of coaches for each sport that was in the article.  I am including here a link to the section called What not to include.  This is found on the Wikischools Project page, and sets the general guidelines for writing articles on schools here at Wikipedia.  Among the things strongly frowned upon are listing non-notable students and staff (meaning: they are not known for something other than being  a student at the school or being a coach there).  If someone wins a national award of some kind, or they do something else that is notable at least at the national level, then you should find a way to mention them appropriately.
If you are going to edit this page (and I hope that you will!), please visit that page first before adding information.  I know it can be frustrating to add information and then see it deleted.
And always:  citations, citations, citations:  make sure you have a reputable, third party that can verify your information, and make sure to add that into the article in an appropriate way.
Good luck! LonelyBeacon 02:34, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:North River (North Carolina)

message: Article conflates two different locations in two different parts of North Carolina:  a tidal river in north east North Carolina, and a town (with radio stations and fire hall) in south east North Carolina.  The lat-long coordinates given are for the town.  It should probably be split into two different articles, even though they would be tiny articles.192.4.0.12 (talk) 19:48, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  I've kept town-related information here, moved the river-related content to the new North River (Albemarle Sound), and deleted the suspicous radio stations. —Steve Summit (talk) 11:19, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  And, I belatedly realize, this article was originally about the river, and only later had some information about the unrelated town tacked on to it.  I feel a little bad that I have, in effect, enshrined the hijacking.  Oh, well. —Steve Summit (talk) 19:03, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

text:  For the record, there's a second tidal river called North River nearby.  I don't think it's worth creating an article for it (I can't even think of a good redlink title for it at List of rivers of North Carolina), but I've created an item for it at Wikidata, Q64084881. —Steve Summit (talk) 19:09, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Mike Leander

message: I agree with the edit summary by anon 64.12.116.132. Having no mention of Gary Glitter in an article about Mike Leander is patently absurd; it's like writing an article about Bernie Taupin and not mentioning Elton John. 
Although one must assume it was an accidental omission (Assume Good Faith and all that), this sort of thing does concern me. There appears to be a concerted effort within the British media to write Glitter out of the history books (his songs are not played on the radio, 1970s retrospectives do not mention him), and as a fan of Glitter's music (rather than the man himself) I would hate to see the likes of Wikipedia go down the same path. AdorableRuffian 19:46, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

message: There are other notable alumni of Oak Ridge Military Academy/Oak Ridge Institute. 
Jessica Maher, Class of 1996, currently serves on the White House Council on Environmental Quality as Assistant Director for Legislative Affairs.
George Stephens, Class of 1891, is credited with catching the first forward pass in football in 1895. He also was an instrumental entrepreneur in helping several North Carolina financial institutions (including Duke Energy and what would become Bank of America).
George Fountain Parrott, Class of 1905, served in the US Navy and was killed during World War I aboard the USS Shaw. The USS Destroyer Parrott (DD-218) was named in his honor for his heroic service.Chipcook141 (talk) 19:41, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  More Notable Alumni  

message: The story behind why Dee Snider, former lead of 1980's metal band Twisted Sister, is believed to have attended Oak Ridge, is an interesting one. In the 1980's, "We're Not Gonna Take It" from the album Stay Hungry, was very popular on MTV and radio playlists. It was also popular in the dorms at Oak Ridge Military Academy after a long day of classes and marching on the drill field. 
Towards the end of the song, the lyrics (or part of the lyrics spoken from the band members, probably Dee Snider) seems to be audible as "are you out of uniform?," or "you and your uniform." Then, what seems to be claimed as heard by many people listening to the song, "drop and give me twenty (push-ups), Oak Ridge pig." This specific, spoken line by Dee Snider is what led many cadets and alumni to believe that he may have attended the school. 
There was a male cadet named Snider who attended ORMA in the late 1960's and early 1970's, but no school records or admittance from Dee Snider himself have proven he ever attended. Over the years, what was fanciful rumor/myth turned into "fact" that Dee Snider had attended the school at some point, and was probably dismissed or kicked out for outlandish behavior.Chipcook141 (talk) 19:41, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Odell School, North Carolina

message: Folks,
I have put some of the things I remember Grandma (Gertrude) Smith telling me about the community.  There is more to tell, but I'm not sure that stuff about the "Tulin Telephone Company", the fire at the Odell School Gymnasium, "Nightingale Nursing Home" or the spirited competition between "Dub's Store" and "Tom's Store" are the stuff that ought to be written about in an encyclopedia article.  If there's some consensus about it, I'll be glad to write further.
I lived in the community until 1995, when I was called into the ministry, moved away from my home on Odell School Road and became simply a "loving admirer" of Odell Community.  I just found this article today, and thought I would put my "two cents worth" into it.
Someone with a little more recent history on the area ought to write about Red Irvin's newspaper cartoons lampooning (Concord's Mayor) Bernie Edwards and (utilities manager) Don Howell over their attempts to seize land and build the Coddle Creek Reservoir, and how one vote of the County Commissioners to purchase Carl Overcash's land put a stop to it.
Also, the tiffs over Airport construction should be written about.  Speak up, folks.  I don't know it all.
Later....

Talk:Old Town, Forsyth County, North Carolina

message: Old Town and Bethabara are one and the same place.  Just two names.  Bethabara was the original name, fell into disuse once the town began to dwindle, thus the name Old Town was adopted and the post office changed its name in 1835 from Bethabara to Old Town.  I think we should merge these two entries together and develop a fuller article on the one location.  Most locals refer to the neighborhood as Old Town so I suggest a consolidated article under the name Old Town that includes a great history section on the Bethabara days and mentions the current park and preserved buildings and all as well as being a currently "annexed place" in NC.  Thoughts?  -- Naytchrboy 17:38, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
