[edit] Seal
The image shown - the green G letter with the tree inside the curve of the G, is NOT the city seal, but rather a logo frequently used. The official city seal is more traditional looking, but very rarely used or seen. Until someone can find a copy of the official seal to use, that "G" should be removed.
[edit] GHS
This section should be moved to a separate article about the high school. Also, it needs to be put into neutral point-of-view, as it currently reads like a praise of GHS. Also, the detailed information about the SHS-GHS game is unnecessary. Results and a simple overview would do fine. -PhattyFatt 02:08, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- I simply removed the text, which was added by an anon, along with history text [1]. I found the exact same history blurb on another website [2], which looks like a copyright violation. The image of the high school, taken from the mcps website, also doesn't belong here. I don't see a fair use rationale for it, since it would be easy for a Wikipedian to take a similar picture of the high school to use here without fair use restrictions. --Aude (talk contribs) 06:20, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] NIST
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is not headquartered in Gaithersburg.
This strikes me as an odd statement. Either NIST is headquartered in Gaithersburg and this statement is wrong; or it is not headquartered there and there is some controversy as to whether it is there or not.

- NIST is headquartered in Gaithersburg -- some vandal added the not. It has been put back. --Alynna 03:23, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 2065
Clearly Gaithersburg was not founded in 2065. Can someone find the real date and post it?
- Someone keeps putting stupid stuff in the article. I've reverted that. --Alynna 15:19, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
