[edit]You didn't look very hard. It is indeed on the website and very easy to find there, just a question of updating the URL to the latest edition of the handbook, wording still identical. Updating the ref, or if you couldn't be bothered to do that at least noting that the URL wasn't working, would have been much better than just deleting the text. -- Alarics (talk) 20:38, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- You should check the correct year of the Code of Conduct. The reference you have listed is 2010-2011. Not this year's guide. I invite you to look at the 2011-2012 http://images.pcmac.org/Uploads/BaldwinCounty/BaldwinCounty/Departments/DocumentsCategories/Documents/11-12-STUDENT-COC-CONTENT.pdf (Page 5, X). Also see the following article, about a reform in that district wich includes "A ban on corporal punishment of students by school personnel. Parents or guardians may "spank" students at the school "when deemed appropriate by a school principal," according to the new policy." http://blog.al.com/live/2011/05/baldwin_county_school_board_ok.html --FencesSBX (talk) 23:28, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- I apologise. I was misled by the fact that the previous year's handbook is still the one linked from the school board's main page so they have not properly updated their own website, and also by the fact that your edit summary said only that you hadn't found the policy in question (which would not in itself have been a justification for deleting the text concerned), not that you had discovered that spanking had actually been abolished. I have now updated the article to make the matter explicit. -- Alarics (talk) 07:21, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
Waverly, Tioga County, New York
[edit]Just wanted to say thanks for your hard work. I did rework the history section a bit, and I hope it's okay. Feel free to tweak and edit, and especially add references!
For the purposes of this article, "village" should refer to the strict definition under New York law. Before 1854 there was neither a "village" nor a place called "Waverly" at this locale, so any such references are confusing IMO. I also wanted to give more emphasis to the role of the railroads in developing the area.

- That was something I was wondering about myself. Thank you for fixing that up and adding a bit more! As I come along some I will definately add reerences. I tried to add a few new ones for each section on the page when I rewrote it, but didn't make that a very large part in it, but like I said, I will add some as I see them! Thanks! --FencesSBX (talk) 19:13, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
