[edit] Links
As APEX are allowed on here and click being exactly the same sort of school run young enterprise company. i'm going to put the click link back on. While advertising is not the point of wikipedia as a young enterprise activity click represents the school just like afootball team does. Whereas whatever the link to the entertainment site is clearly self promotion by some random person.
[edit] Cricket
No need to mention individual names of certain cricketers.
[edit] Too much detail on rowing
I have cleaned it up a little bit, but could you please identify which bits are extraneous. The amount of detail is too much for a wikipedia article on Hampton School in general. Perhaps it deserves its own page. (FeanorLobelia)
Have given the Rowing its own article. Left just the basics (The Spith)
[edit] Lack of clear sources
Could you please add sources to this article through which facts about the school can be verified. For example an anonymous editor changed it from religeous to secular. There is no easy way to verify that. According to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, the onus is on the original editors to add such material. Otherwise suspect material should be removed to the talk page. Mozzerati 12:39, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
- I'm not sure exactly what is going on with this article, if the section on the Great Gas scare of 2006 is intended to be humerous or if anything related to it has actually occured. I am removing this section and placing it here becuase I am unable to find a single reference to this type of incident actually occuring on google news and I think something of this magnitude would warrant at least a single news article. If you have some sources with a judicious rewrite it could be reincluded in the article. AdamJacobMuller 01:56, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
On the [[February_17|17th of February]], [[2006]], a gas leak was detected in the front car park, that threatened the lives of all the current inhabitants of Hampton School. Rather like a hostage situation, the pupils and staff were at the mercy of gas. The suspense continued all day and those inside were advised to not breathe very much, and were advised that in the event of exposure to the deadly gas to consult a mortician. Fortunately it was during Half - Term, so only those who were unlucky enough to be members of the [[Chemistry]] Department perished in the incident as they were holding their weekly OCR syllabus [[bingo]] session box social. Shortly after the agonizing death of those at the hands of the toxic underground nerve gas, nicknamed 'fear gas', somebody opened a window and the problem was solved. The situation soon returned to normal and despite the loss of life, the members of the [[school]] community stated the situation: "couldn't have turned out better" adding that they were relieved the problem had been solved and school life could return to normal. As it stands the window is still open, and the site is safe. Contractors worked with the School’s maintenance staff to determine the extent of the leak which was located in the underground supply pipe, and it was found that someone had caused a rupture in the piping. Shortly after the event, the culprit was identified, but sadly 'fell' off a [[cliff]]. On a lighter note they were unable to clean the school, so the stench of death hangs in the air as a constant reminder of the situation, bathing the upstairs corridors, which have become known as the 'The Halls of Death', in an air of elegy. At one point there were fears that the school was to be closed, however the school commented that "a few corpses were not going to get in the way of the education of our children, which as always, is the number one priority of this noble establishment"
The school's most notorious student is Zander, who constantly removes "vandalism" from this page but is perfectly happy to keep and sustain his own vanadalism (see "The Great Gas Scare of '06). This contraditive nature is a prime example of his character.
Just noticed this, so i'm assuming the above section is in fact a complete fabrication AdamJacobMuller 01:58, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
