[edit] Reads like an ad
This article has serious problems which need to be addressed:
- It reads like an ad. All the language is gushing and over-glorifying. Therefore, the whole article is highly POV and needs to be toned down.
- It makes numerous claims that aren't backed up by any references at all. E.g. "is considered by many to be a school of the future." Just who are these "many" people? If there are a lot, it shouldn't be too hard to find a reference somewhere. Lacking such references, the POV claims should be removed.
- It has too much unencyclopedic detail. Wikipedia is not for duplicating other websites. All the information on credits, prerequisates and other details should be removed: such information does not belong on Wikipedia. That information should be on the school's website, not ours.
- It doesn't establish why the school is WP:Notable. We don't want every educational institution listed, just ones that deserve mention.
Lacking such changes, I'll nominate it for deletion. — Frecklefoot | Talk 18:30, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cart 144x179.jpg
Image:Cart 144x179.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.
