Talk:Wirral Grammar School for Boys
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Why do people believe it is an advertisment
Anyone know the name or author of the book in the WGSB library about the history of the school?--Darrelljon 11:31, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
ill find out, why does the page need cleaning
- Found it, The History of Wirral Grammar School for Boys 1931 - 1991 by Pete Murphy.--Darrelljon 20:58, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
- Because the current version of the article reads like an advertisement. "...continues to achieve excellent results ... Recently the school celebrated yet another achievement ..."--Darrelljon 13:55, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
- I have made some changes following the request for a cleanup, mostly minor. I feel that although some of the changes I have made still portray the school in a good light they are much more factual than the previous versions.--Fider 16:28, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

- Had to retag it with advert template, as it not at all encyclopaedic in tone.--Darrelljon 19:01, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mr Hazeldine
Maybe we should wait until September before we place Mr Hazeldine in the Headmaster section? I feel that this is slightly misleading as it suggests he is currently Headmaster despite Mr Cooper still being there. I have made an adjustment for now, please feel free to make any suggestions--Fider 16:11, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
He is now offically head so i put him in
Previous poster's entry seems to have been deleted, so I have re-entered it. There seems to be a certain amount of foolish vandalism going on at the WGSB entry in general at the moment - I hope that it will stop before I have to ask the Wikipedia moderators to protect this article.

[edit] French Assistants
- 1997 - 1998 Amelie?
- 1996 - 1997 Sara
- 1995 - 1996 Didier
- 1994 - 1995 Christophe
Its something like that, the most recent is 2005-2006 Sylvan,and 2003-2004 was Vincent, can't remember 2004-2005 though
Edit: The 2004-2005 French assistant was from Martinique, I can't remember her name though...
I a have close friend who was studying French A-level in 04/05. I remember the assistant from Martinique, but no name comes to mind. I will speak to him and hopefully all will be revealed. May be able to remember some of the others too- I'm pretty sure there was another assistant named Christophe, around 99-00 for example. Will clarify.
How can you not remember her name! It was Yoma! Also the one the year before Vincent was Rochelle or something like that IIRC
[edit] Peculiarities
They still use duty boys, commendations and reprimands don't they?--Darrelljon 21:33, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Well they do have commendations and reprimandsm not too sure on duty boys -- Fider 14:33, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
It's a definite no to duty boys, but commendations and reprimands are firmly still in place.
[edit] Houses
The section on houses refers to Wilson but that wasn't the first W mixed class. There was a class in the 70's (whilst Wilson was still Prime Minister) that had the letter W. It was named after Mrs Walker (its form teacher for the first three years) and its last form teach was a Mr Cooper. Recidivus 17:34, 9 August 2006 (UTC)yes.
[edit] YouTube Section
No matter how much I read this I keep thinking that it's been written by a member of staff, or atleast it's come from the school, It's right when it says they're Weasel words, There's no sources left on it, (which there are - on the Globe's site) NateJay 19:59, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
I wonder whether it's actually notable, and should be deleted as non-notable. Give it a couple of months, and it will all be forgotten. Ringbark 21:50, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Well it's not the fact if it's notable or not, it's just that no sources have been added and it's right when it says Weasel Words, but it's good to see that the source is up now NateJay 17:25, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Clean up and new items
Ok, looking nicer with an info box etc.
Do we have permission for the Livewire picture of Mr Hazeldine?
Speaking of Livewire, couldn't we add in a link at the bottom? Already been done, but I'll edit it so it says the name at least... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by NateJay (talk • contribs) 10:49, 3 December 2006 (UTC).
