[edit] Grammar
I'd like to request that those who edit this page start to check over what they have written for grammatical errors. A perfect example, which I intend to fix up, is "This carrys on until 3rd year however,during the 2nd year christmas tests, student may go up a class or go down!". This sentence should state "This carries on until 3rd year. However, following the Christmas tests in 2nd year, students may be promoted to a higher class".
On another note, please make sure that anything you state is actually true. An example of this is also visible in the above quote. Students are not demoted to a lower class following Christmas tests. They may, however, choose to study a subject at Ordinary/Higher Level and therefore be moved into a different class for that subject only (provided it runs at the same time for each class, e.g. maths). 86.42.124.195 18:59, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
As well, please note that it is terrible grammar if you say "The school does subject/activity". Therefore, please refrain from this. If you're unsure if something you want to add is grammatically correct, don't edit the page. 86.42.124.195 19:09, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ASRCreast.jpg
Image:ASRCreast.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Internet Policy
Would the person who keeps putting the school's internet policy on the page please stop. It's pointless. It's available on the school's website and all you're doing is making the page very long while making actual valuable information hard to find by putting a big long policy there that has no business being there. As for it being "a risky move by Reilly, but the gamble paid off". Seriously, what age aare you? It's department of education policy that all schools be fully equipped with internet capabiliy. He had nothing to do with it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.134.5.157 (talk) 21:31, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
I think you will find the school's internet policy has great importance, and a necessity for inclusion. As you may be aware, the Internet is the biggest communication tool on the planet and all schools use it on a daily basis. It is essential to show Ardscoil Rís' compliance to Global Internet Policy. Please do not blank the information or I may have to flag down an admin and get your anon ip address banned. Thanks. BonzosRghey (talk) 02:49, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
The policy is on the school's website if people want to see it. On this site it takes up more than half the article and makes it near impossible to read. Who is going to read through an entire policy on internet usage. It has nothing to do with the general information on the school. And could you verify how it was "a risky gamble for Reilly" bearing in mind what I have posted above. That is an opinion, not fact and Wikipedia is about verifiable fact. You've no idea what your at and you, not me, are the one who is messing up the page.

- I agree fully that having the full policy on the page does not in any way contribute to the article. I think that the policy should be mentioned on the page and a brief outline be given, as it appears to be a very notable thing, and then a link to the relevant page on the schools website be placed so that the full policy can still be viewed without making the page unreadable.

(To: Anon-IP Vandal aka "78.134.5.157") Well your vandal mission has been successful, blanking a valid (and important) policy from the page, and hoodwinking another editor (note: not an admin) into agreeing with your nonsense. Well done. I took the liberty to change the incorrect link to the policy that you originally put up to the actual link to the policy. I've seen these petty tit-for-tat edit wars before and I am not getting involved in one with the likes of you. It's idiots like you that are ruining this site bit by bit. Before I go, if you even knew Pat Reilly, I assure you, this WAS a risky move, even by his standards. BonzosRghey (talk) 15:47, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Em, Unless you're one of my older colleagues then I'd hazard a guess that I know him a lot longer than you do. And your rationalisation for saying it was a gamble is nonsense. It's opinion, I've already explained to you why it's actually wrong and it has no place on wikipedia. This was not petty. The page looked ridiculous and was totally dominated by the policy to the detrement of other, valuable and more relevent information. I'd say you're about 15 judging by your response above. Certainly hope I didn't teach you to debate like that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.134.5.157 (talk) 20:34, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
