[edit] Errr

Dude, this article is so grossly propagandistic. 10 of 18 is not "most" by any stretch. None of the 4 "notable" alumni seem notable to me. (Oh yeah and any strawhead can run for President of the United States... governor of Virginia isn't any more difficult. A failed candidate, further more. Being the first American female pilot isn't notable, not on its own. As for the cellist - no Wikipedia article, not notable. Heh. Writer of history books - not notable. Oh and Early Childhood Center? How typically American...

This person obviously lacks basic math skills. There are six schools competing. One schools gets 10 out of 18 medals. That means there are 8 medals left, split between five other schools. Assuming that the other schools came away with at least one medal, the maximum that each other school got would be two medals.

When one school gets 10 medals, and the rest get no more than 2 each, that's "most" by a large stretch.

And let's see you run for governor of Virgnia. Being the first American female pilot is notable. Baker is awesome. He rocks lke mad. Let's see YOU shave your mustache off for Pakistan! I bet you don't even have one, hmmmmm? As for the cellist, look her up on Google, you moron. If you think notability relies on being on Wikipedia, then you have no life.

Sorry, bud. This is an "American" school, thus the spelling of Early Childhood Center. Also note that many Wikipedia spellings are based off "American English". For example, article color. Please note the comment: "Please do not change the spelling of color to colour. Wikipedia policy is to leave the English variation alone in this case, not to have a war about versions of English. You would also break the links and categories. Changing the spelling will be treated as vandalism, and for this reason will be swiftly reverted. Please see the discussion page if you want to comment."

Oh, additional comment. What does "14:41, 2 January 2006 Miborovsky (pwnt by the Chinese High School, Singapore)" mean. Aren't admins supposed to be somewhat... impartial? Even some pretense would be nice. Or maybe that edit was done by an acquaintance. I assume too much. I apologize.

i agree with most of what you said even though you didn't sign your post. 218.186.9.1 08:34, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Miborovsky is a Tool

Ignore that guy. He's just biased against the American community in Singapore. 153.106.4.94 09:55, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

If you look through this article's history, you'll see that this text was added into the article in May 2005. The website you refer to (Organization Research Guide at www.123exp-orgs.com) was only created in August 2006 (see: http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d=123exp-orgs&tld=com). This is clearly as case of this site copying its text from Wikipedia, not the other way around. Singopo (talk) 07:50, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Erm that site obviously crawls wikipedia and mirrors its contents automatically.--Huaiwei (talk) 09:10, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My edits May 29, 08

I updated the infobox and moved the campus information into a new section as described here. I added a few lines to make it look nice, but hopefully someone can improve on my information. Anonlta (talk) 09:09, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
