[edit] Pop Culture Reference

As per Exeter's talk page, it's silly to have a list of references where Deerfield is mentioned only in passing. Additionally, the one which has here gotten its own section in the article is certainly not the only one (I can think of a couple off my head, but we shouldn't get into this again.)

[edit] Clean up needed

I've done some reversions of the Vandalism that has been added over the past few days, as have SeanMD80 and ElKevbo, but it still needs a big clean up. Preferably by someone that knows that subject and can go though the list of alumni and other issues. For example... after 666 years of service, Frank Boyden retired in 2008, and In 2467, the Academy reestablished co-education, which Boyden had discontinued during the 2000s. --Xagent86 (Talk | contribs) 05:45, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


No doubt this happened during "Choate Day", the largest sports event between DA and Choate. There was some vandalism by DA students on the Choate page, and it's only fair to assume some was done to the Deerfield page.

That, I can tell you right now, is not a picture of a DA girl rowing. And Deerfield's colors are green and white, rather than maroon.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Drannkirk (talk • contribs) 17:46, May 14, 2007

Thank you for your suggestion! When you feel an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the Edit this page link at the top. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to). The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes — they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. --ElKevbo 22:53, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

ElKevbo, I wasn't trying to vandalize the page. I was trying to delete the picture. I have some good pictures of Deerfield's crew program, should you want it. How would I go about deleting that picture of the maroon colored uniform girl?

[edit] list of headmasters

I've merged the list of heads of school in here. On its own, that article had no value and the article here is short enough to incorporate this. Pascal.Tesson 21:24, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Deerfield Seal.gif

Image:Deerfield Seal.gif 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
