message: Someone pasted a copy of the top version of Fordson high school into Fordson High School and performed a small edit.  This isn't the way to do it.  I've history merged the two versions created in this way--both are now at Fordson High School, and the talk pages are also merged.  --Tony SidawayTalk 12:11, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Appears to be some rampant vandalism to the page, perhaps someone who is familiar with the school and notable alumni would be able to revert some of this. DrunkenSmurf 20:30, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I'd like to rewrite that section, with New York Times, ESPN articles, and/or citations in published books (not self-published); it would discuss both the Muslim students in the football team and the documentary made about them. The amount of coverage on that topic has been ongoing and has involved multiple reliable sources.
