if schools are going to be mentioned, perhaps a comprehensive list could be added? i.e. including primary schools

Two private preparatory schools added. --Milton25 21:52, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] External link to local community web site described as spam and removed

Stanley Hill is in Amersham and www.stanleyhill.org is a local community web site dealing with Stanley Hill in general and speeding traffic on Stanley Hill in particular. To describe it as spam is an insult to the residents of Stanley Hill. To remove it without any discussion is an even bigger insult.

Consider the link to a bed and breakfast web site. Is that spam? Apparently not.

Unfortunately the argument that I am insulting the residents of Stanley Hill in some way doesn't hold water, seeing as you also added the same link to the Speed limit and Road safety camera articles. There it is most definitely spam as it adds little reference or extra information to the context of those articles, but merely aims to publicise a local cause. Worthy though the cause is, Wikipedia is not the place to rally followers to it. -- Roleplayer 14:36, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Let's concentrate on the Amersham page first. You made no mention of the TWO links to bed and breakfast establishments. Surely they are more spam-like than stanleyhill.org and yet they are they still there? Those two sites generate income from their business but there is no income from our site. I'm asking as a newcomer and you're obviously an old hand at this.
