[edit] DfES picture

Dear LordHarris, could you please save the DfES image in Commons in order to allow other projects to use it? I created an article about DfES in pt-wiki and would be great put the image there. Kind regards, MHV 11:49, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

I'll try to upload it to Commons myself. Many thanks, MHV 18:11, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Error on James Callaghan's schooling

Sorry, you introduced an error into James Callaghan's biography. He attended Northern Secondary School which definitely became Northern Grammar Schools and Mayfield School. The school and Old Boys Association have copies of his replies to various loyal addresses sent to him on his accession as Prime Minister and on major birthdays. The City of Portsmouth Boys School was formed from the old Technical High School and Hilsea Modern Boys School. Being an old boy of the school, I can understand your wish to claim him, but sorry, not true! The Technical High School did not even exist when he was at school, indeed virtually the whole area was still green fields. (I am intrigued by the suggestion that it dates back to 1905 in some way, will be interested to hear any evidence of this!) Conversely, if you're back in Portsmouth you may like to trek down Mayfield Road and see the words "Northern [Secondary] School" still carved in stone above Mayfield's entrance! I was interested to see your note under Mayfield School concerning the plaque in CPBS, I will contact them and ask them to justify it as I fear it is erroneous (please see additional notes on that page).

Update: Thanks for getting back to me. Apologies about the original comment (which I have deleted), however I did need to spend some considerable time navigating round correcting all the relevant pages back again and at the time I did not see why you had made the change. However on principle one should be careful about changing statements of fact on Wikipedia pages unless absolutely sure of one's source; this information is now widely used and we need to be sure that it is accurate! I expect the plaque will be to the effect that JC opened the hall or something similar. There has been absolutely no doubt in books, city records etc for the last 50 years that NSS became NGS, and I remember the TV cameras visiting Mayfield when JC became Prime Minister, but I do note that this information does not seem to have made its way on to the Internet elsewhere so it would have been difficult for you to crosscheck. Well done on the rest of the article though. Regards, Hyperman 42 18:56, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar, very kind of you! Hyperman 42 00:34, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Corfe Hills School

I see you've edited the CHS page previously. I have just made significant changes to it, what do you think of them? Do you have any extra info to add, eg what productions they've done and when, history of school, suitable pictures? Churchillarian 19:56, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
