But as shown below, we've only got your word for both these assertions, which unfortunately isn't good enough for Wikipedia (third-party sources are needed — stated in such a way that we can check them for ourselves, not just take your unsupported word for them, or there's no point in giving them), and as I say in my reply at the bottom of the page, that rather rare commodity ironically known as "common sense" seems to indicate that you're wrong. -- Korax1214 (talk) 02:10, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Biased, unverified statements

This article contains biased statements, like "One thing that defines Tamanend the most is the very excellent staff of teachers". Some citation from a local newspaper or some local organization should be included. Nemesys571 (talk) 18:00, 14 January 2008 (UTC)Nemesys571

According to The New York Times, Tamanend Middle School is the greatest middle school ever, even though it acts like its poor, yet is really rich. Instead of buying useful things, they spend our fundraising money on new scoreboards. Putting buckets in the hallways is the only way to deal with the rain in tamanend. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sgraham200 (talk • contribs) 14:20, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Accorind to the Miami Herald, Tamanend Middle School employs the best teachers its low budget can afford. Tamanend's budget is so low, that repairing holes in the roof would cause the school to go into extreme debt. When it rains at Tamanend, trash cans in the hallway are a common sight.

It's notable that those who gave the above "cites" not only didn't provide references (in the form of article URLs, or even article dates — for instance, "According to The New York Times" is meaningless if we're not told when the New York Times (supposedly) said this), but they didn't even sign their comments!

And the article is full of blatant POV such as "Tamanend's students are some of the sauciest in the state", "Tamanend's students are sweet", "most teachers at Tamanend are pretty cool", and outright nonsense such as "Room 38 at Tamanend was the sight [sic] of the filming for the Jurassic Park movie series" and "[room 38] is home to the only known living dinosaur".

I think that if all unencyclopædic content were stripped from this page, the resulting page would be blank except for the title and infobox; clearly, unless it can be drastically improved (read: rewritten from scratch), deleting it is the only way to go. -- Korax1214 (talk) 01:56, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
