[edit] Lower School Information

It appears that this article mainly focuses on the Hunting Valley campus (upper school). I think that there should be some more information on the lower school, so if someone could help with this it would be greatly appriciated. --HBot3 21:39, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I understand your thinking, but the upper school is mainly (imho) what people focus on when they say University School. --67.102.184.26 21:17, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] March 2007

Hello all, and thank you for contributing to this school site. I'm part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools/Assessment team, and I'm reviewing this page, I'm currently giving it a grade of B on the Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale and an importance of Medium on the this importance scale.

My reasoning is as follows: This article has lots of information about the school but reflects a biased WP:POV and needs some reorganization and some copy editing to meet Wikipedia's WP:NPOV standards. It also cites none of it's references. It needs the work of a conscientious editor. Adam McCormick 21:46, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:USseal.jpg

Image:USseal.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.

[edit] POV tag, and other comments

The first paragraph of the Athletics sections seems POV. SpencerT♦C 00:21, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Also, should this be referred to as "the School" or "the school"? This article uses both, which is confusing. SpencerT♦C 00:28, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

It should be lower case unless clearly used as a proper noun (eg. "Lower School", "Upper School", "University School"), much as in the school's own site. I've amended usage accordingly. --Mr R 11:50, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and one more. Should I get coordinates for the upper or lower school? SpencerT♦C 00:29, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I am removing all POV sections of this article Mtw7777 (talk) 01:27, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Your removals went beyond POV. I have reverted a large number of your edits. Please explain what makes those things you removed POV. Is it POV that it's an all-boys' school? Corvus cornixtalk 01:32, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Geographic Cordinates

A simple way to get geographic coordinates is to go on google earth, find University school, than see the geographic coordinates. (but they might be confusing) also, the link at the bottom referring the google maps of university school is eǣither outdated or of a wrong school, because that picture is incorrect. however, a beter picture can be found on google earth. (which can be downloaded for free.) USissuchabadschool (talk) 02:02, 12 February 2008 (UTC) • contribs) 21:12, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

  • hey-- the problem with this is that there are TWO campuses, at TWO different locations. --67.102.184.26 (talk) 01:50, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • I think that because there are to campusses, that you culd figure out by going that on a spot between those campuses exactly and you figgure out the cordinates they then you meet on google Earth to decide where tha spot is and then you go and that you use that spot. I think it is dificult thouhg, becuse you can't provide a good linke biecause then you can't take a picture of the google Earth screen or it wont turn out rite or their are copywright isues with google or you have to download the google Earth and then it mite not be compatatable witth the new vista or the cool macbook air central processing units.

[edit] Notable Alumni

Why was this section all-but-deleted? US has many notable allumni, but currently the only one listed is a teacher who just happened to pitch for the Detroit Tigers a long, long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away?). For one, his son Michael Seelbach currently has a lead role in the Chicago production of Wicked. I understand that it was often vandalized by students of the school, but does that merit the almost complete deletion of it? (ps, it looks like it was deleted a l-o-o-o-o-ng time ago...) --Superpika66 (talk) 15:36, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Another editor deleted them because none of the people on the list had a ref to prove they were from the school, and by the looks of the list, it was ridiculous. He decided to remove it until refs could be found. Check the history...I think he had something about it in the edit summary. SpencerT♦C 22:14, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
