Talk:Southend High School for Boys
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have attempted to clean up the mess into which this page had descended. Many of the so-called "facts" were unworthy of a place on Wikipedia. The entire section on courses available at the school was not only distracting to the main point of the page, but also would appear to have been a clear breach of copyright. Any future editing by others, particularly those with links to the school, should comply with the Wikipedia guidelines. Bencherlite 19:27, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Factual Vs Fictional
I can confirm that the majority of 'Trivial' facts on this article are correct. There are of course a few minor comments that are both childish and not acceptable under the Guidelines laid out by Wikipedia and shall be deleted. Please do not let the iron-fist ruling of some editors effect your decision to add any interesting anecdotes or trivia facts as long as they are 100% truthful. As a member of the teaching staff at SHSB i am in a position to know which facts are correct and acceptable for broadcast. Thank you. 20:36 12/02/07 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SouthendTeachers (talk • contribs) 20:36, 12 February 2007 (UTC).
- Please see the article on original research for why these trivia should not be included here unless they can be independently confirmed through citation of verifiable primary sources. --DachannienTalkContrib 20:42, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- This page was re-edited to meet your demands laid out in the guidelines of correct trivial facts and therefore you deleted a lot of what you claimed to be acceptable, read it next time —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Steven Knowledge (talk • contribs) 20:47, 12 February 2007.
- Do you have any citations for any of the trivia you insist on adding to the article? --DachannienTalkContrib 20:57, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blanking talk pages
Please don't blank this talk page. It is a necessary part of discussion on what the underlying article should contain, and it is important as a record of any past discussions that have taken place. --DachannienTalkContrib 20:57, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
why does anyone doubt the truth of anything written there? It's obviously written by a pupil, and in the end, pupils constitue the main function of the school!
- Even if some of the "trivia" comments are true, they do not belong on Wikipedia, for reasons that have already been explained. Wikipedia articles are not the place for pupils' "in-jokes" either. If vandalistic changes continue being made to this article, then those responsible are likely to be blocked by administrators. Bencherlite 10:50, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
