[edit] "Our"?

Upon examination, I saw that the word "Our" occurs four times on the Friends Academy article, and thus it can be assumed that it was written by the school or an agent of the school. I propose that a banner be placed at the top of the page informing the reader of this until there have been significant edits moving the content to a move objective viewpoint. (FIXED)

Its clearly a cut/paste job; any serious Wikipedia user could see that. I propose an up/down vote on this discussion page to decide the matter: Once this vote achieves 5 votes, with at least three in favor of action, the banner shall be placed. I also propose that the banner be removed after a secondary vote ending with 10 votes, with at least 8 in favor.

This issue has been resolved by the deletion of the page's content (19:52, 3 December 2006). RideABicycle 02:40, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Practically every sentence, paragraph for paragraph, was copied from the school's website, with only minor changes such as substituting the "Our" (and sometimes improvements to the school website's bad grammar). I marked it as possible copyright violation. --Huon 18:50, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree completely. This should be dealt with. RideABicycle | Talk | 16:31, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
This has been dealt with, we have a clean slate again! Huon 21:58, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
