[edit] Making a start

I've started this page as I thought people may find it of interest. It is not complete, but I have made an effort. I think the following sections need to be added:

  • Sport
  • Performing Arts
    • Beths Big Band
    • Drama Productions
  • School Performance
  • Curriculum Offered
  • Historical Trivia
    • Past headmasters
    • Alumni (Steve Backley?)

Also, given copyright permission from the School, I want to add the school crest. When I work out how, I'll add an info table floated on the right with general facts, like current headmaster, motto, LEA, etc.

Perhaps others who know the school wel can contribute? Also, all the facts thus far are from my head - I need to check dates when I can.

[edit] Major Edit for Corrections

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Beths_Grammar_School&diff=52461668&oldid=52361581

Visiting the page recently, I saw there was a spate of vanadlism which was dealt with. Unfortunately, other information was added which was innappropriate. In future, changes should be discussed here before editting the main article, unless reverting due to vandalism.

[edit] School Name Changes

The school's offical name is Beths Grammar School, which is the title of the article. Beths is no longer an accrnym for Bexley and Erith Technical High School as most of that information is now false. Thus, the accronym should be mentioned purely in a historical context, not in the introduction.

(Corrected: May 10, 2006)

[edit] Prefect Teams

Mentioning the current senior prefects in the body of the article is wrong - it is current information which should be listed under its own section. If this is to be done, I think it is only right that the prefect team in its entirity should be listed. However, this will attract vandalism and those on the list may object to having their name on the article. The same applies to School Captains. I have changed this to have its own subsection within Prefects, and reversed the chronological order. This is still subject to names being removed, however, at persons' discretion.

[edit] School Captains

Pretty sure that Dan Cooper was Captain before 1998. Also Jason Bannister was there in 2002 as well as RC. Rajan Patel finished 2005

[edit] Townley

They probably deserve a mention in there, since some A level lessons are taken there. Aren't we supposed to be partnered or twinned with them anyhow?--Tiresais 19:32, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spam

I'm from the school itself and I'm shocked at the ammout of spam which is currently on the page. Yet no one sees anything wrong with it. I've tried to get rid of the main bulk of it but... There needs to be firmer action taken to spammers. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.16.215.90 (talk • contribs) 19:20, 5 July 2006 (UTC).

I understand. Just look in one of the ICT rooms at lunchtime. There are a lot of vandals out there. The problem is that Wikipedia has so many articles that this article doesn't seem important. The way that vandals are delt with is that they recieve messages on their talk page. First they just get a general note (or if they're lucky, a Good Faith), then a caution, two warnings and then they're blocked. --lEoN2323 20:16, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re

I have just gone through about 20 different edits to return to a wholy valid version of this page. If vandalism occurs, do not attempt to edit it out. Instead, find the last version that was correct, chose to edit it, then save the page - this will make that version the current version. That way, useful information will not be lost when people edit out vandalism.

I think you misunderstand both the recent edits and the edit summaries accompanying them. Not only were obvious vandalism edits removed ("EVAN FOR SCHOOL CAPTAIN" etc.) but a number of unsourced items. Reverting is not the only appropriate way to handle vandalism or other inappropriate material. Please remember that Wikipedia requires reliable sources that allow for verification. If sources are not provided, any editor is welcome to remove material from articles. Thanks, Gwernol 13:10, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
