On the way. --Predius 16:15, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I removed the link that mentioned the Pancho Pepe Jazz Band. Wikipedia is no place for articles about school-boy rock bands that so far have no cultural or educational significance. Please do not continue to repost such links. --

""""ESTE ES OTRO COLEGITO BURQUES, QUE FORMAN A CHICOS RETARDADOS MENTALES NEOLIBERALES Y DECADENTES , Y ENCIMA LOS DURECTORES SE ENURGULLECEN DE LA BASURA Q SALEN SUS ALUMNOS JAIME BAYLY POR EJEMPLO ."""" This page was not made neither by the headmaster nor the Peruvian director so I don't see what is your point on saying the school is proud of having Jaime Bayly as a former student. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.230.121.20 (talk) 18:02, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Foca

I have put the section of Foca back as I feel it is not vandilism but an , so to say, historical prank played by students at Markham. Other pranks similar to these have appeared in many numerous College articles, for example in Cal-Techs article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cal_tech#Pranks

This section is not insulting anyone and is not creating any bad image to the school, therefore should be left there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brownie DXB (talk • contribs) 00:22, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

You really don't understand what an encyclopedia is if you think that anything that isn't insulting should be included. It might not be vandalism, but it most certainly is not notable. Please don't compare it to Caltech's pranks, because those have been part of the institute's culture for a long time, plus (more importantly) they have received significant coverage from outside media, etc., so they are well sourced. Some obscure slang used only in the past couple of years, which no outsider cares about, is not notable enough for an encyclopedia. I'm removing it. --Gabbec 04:01, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
