[edit] Stephen Hawking?

I find it VERY hard to believe that Mr. Hawking went to St. Albans, but i guess i'll ask first before removing. Of course, i'm a 19 year old dude, so what do i know about all female private schools? Orangemango (talk) 21:24, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree that it seems unlikely, however it is referenced from muliple reliable sources. ((1995) Stephen Hawking A Biography. Greenwood Press.) There is also [1] or [2] [3] or [4] The important detail seems to be that then, unlike now, boys were also educated at the school upto a certain age.

[edit] Severe Improvement

The article needs to be radically improved. It seems as though it has been written by someone whom knows of the school and has a bias POV. I hope that I've removed all or most of the POV statements [Or at least tagged them], apologies if I have missed any. Adding citations would be an excellent start.

  • I agree that this needed a major revision. My main source for much of the verifying and expanded info has been the last ISI report, which is about as objective and independent as you can get. I have removed a lot of WP:POV and WP:ADVERT text to try and Wikify this article. Stephen Hawking's attendace at the school is a surprise addition (found from a biography) - I have added this in too as this is a very notable (and unusual) alumni ! Its supported from a number of internet sources, but I thought the bio was prob the most reliable source. Cheers •CHILLDOUBT• 21:01, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
