If anyone either has photos of Gilmour's campus or would like to take some, you are welcome to add them to the article. I am hoping to take some soon to add some flair to the article.

[edit] Cleanup
I have just done a huge cleanup of the article, removing self-promotion, information that doesn't belong, and other stuff. This isn't a personal attack on any of your writting, I just want to make the encyclopedia consistant following set guidelines and NPOV rules. Thanks. --mboverload@ 02:06, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
What is the criteria for being a notable Gilmour graduate? I ask this because there is a person listed as a 'Snow Plow specialist' which doesn't sound particularly notable.SailorAlphaCentauri 08:11, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removed image
The photo of the building ws not fair use. As it was a generic "building" type of photo, it's purpose in the article was decorative, not informative. - brenneman {L} 06:13, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

You removed the image of the Classroom Building from the page Gilmour Academy - I am wondering why. It was not a "generic building photo," but rather a photo of the school's main classroom building and one of its most-traveled outdoor areas. Thanks, Fuscob 00:29, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- End copied section.
- The relevent text here is "The material must contribute significantly to the article (e.g. identify the subject of an article, or specifically illustrate relevant points or sections within the text) and must not serve a purely decorative purpose." (Emphasis original.) This building photo is generic not in a pejorative sense, but merely in that there is not a representation of a unique aspect supported by text in the article. - brenneman {L} 04:11, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

- It is illustrative of the "Campus" section of the article. The classroom building pictured is specifically referenced in that section. Fuscob 19:17, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
