Tone problems[edit]

The tone of this article is problematic, and reads like an advert. "The School is recognised as being at the forefront of providing some of the most advanced learning opportunities." Recognised by who? Needs references. The JPS^{talk to me} 16:43, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I took the decisive action of listing this for speedyproposed deletion. Instead of addressing the problems which have been noted by various over the months, nothing has been done except copying and pasting (copyrighted?) material from the school's website. I came to this article with the best intentions (browsing the WP:WIKIFY list) but believe this to be beyond redemption. If people closest to the school cannot eek out something notable, then why do I have to trawl to find something worth doing? I have recently done some work on attempting to wikify school articles, but if I was to do it with this one, it would consist of two lines. One saying it is a school, the other saying where it is. Then it would be speedied under "short article with little or no context". Sorry. :( Bubba hotep 21:59, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and I tried to contact someone to tell them about the copyright problems, but who is it? The original author contributed the original item and nothing since and it appears the copyrighted material has been injected by various people as long as 5 months ago.

And finally, yes, I had a pang of conscience (maybe a hope of redemption) by downgrading it from a speedy to a proposed deletion. Bubba hotep 22:19, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And yet, somehow, I've managed to get roped into starting to sort it out... ;) Bubba hotep 16:30, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
