[edit] images for deletion

Note: Four images from this article were listed for deletion at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/2005 September 18, which I moved to Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/2005 September 23. You can edit the article to remove them, or you can object to the removal of one or all. I don't have an opinion on the subject (and have nothing to do with the nomination), but thought editors of the article should decide now, before they suddenly become red-links. The images are.

As I said on IfD, I took the photos and there's no reason to get rid of them. The school is falling down and if you took the other photos as a representation of the school at large then you would have a skewed view. I will put them back in for now. --Celestianpower hab 20:31, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
I have no serious problem with the pics, but here's one *option* (to be done only with conensus): Have just two "good" pics and two "bad" pics. Extend the content of the article, to discuss the condition of the school. But, do this is in a fair and balanced way. The pictures should be an extension of the article ideally, more than a gallery. I actually now think showing at least some "negative" image(s) is pretty fair, since showing two or three "good" images, with no "bad" ones is very bias (though common for school articles, which tend to be pro-school admin) --rob 21:05, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
Sounds workable. I do hate it when school articles are treated like 'pet' projects rather than a normal article. I'll try and work something on the state of the school into the article now. --Celestianpower hab 21:11, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Notable explorer?

Notable alumni inclde the explorer, Paul Carter, who attended the school between 1992 and 1997

I think we need a source for this luminary. Flapdragon 16:46, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

I'm sorry. I should not believe everything that I read on Wikipedia. I just saw the information on the Samuel Marling page and thought it better here. Sorry - I'll remove it now. --Celestianpower hablamé 22:40, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Yes, you really have to be careful about perpetuating nonsense like that. Replaced him with the rather more notable Tim McInnerny. Flapdragon 12:50, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

What is the academic value of this vanity? Wikipedia is not the place for spreading the word. Overall, this page is non-notable, idiosyncratic, and inappropriate. Sweetaction 20:14, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Recent edits

How can I be reducing the statistical accuracy of the article when I am correcting a mistake. The long and short corridors are army hospitals from World War 1, not 2. This is a fact so why change it back to the previous version when it is wrong? 84.71.102.161 08:56, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

That was obviously a mistaken revert. Having checked the source, I can see that you're correct - sorry. However, it would help if you priovided an edit summary in future :). Thanks and regards, —Celestianpower háblame 09:54, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Please stop this pathetic vandalism, whoever it is, whether it's a student from this school or someone else. It is annoying for other users to remove vandalism continuousely. It also reflects badly on the school, so please think before editing, and if need be, use Sandbox mode.
