The school attached to Lord Bynd Secondary School is a Vancouver School Board district program and unique to Lord Bynd Secondary School. The continuious deletion of this section has yet to be legitimize under Wikipedia Policy. Further removal of this section will be considered Vandalism and will be dealt with according to WP:VANDAL Mkdw 21:00, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Byngs Arts

message: As a graduate of this school I would just like to say that I think it is completely appaling that the librarian actively encourages people to vandalise wikipedia. Not related to anything, but I found it interesting.

replies: text: Who's the librarian there now? It is easy to see why so many people are against the concept of Wikipedia. The most remarkable part of Wikipedia is that though the sources and facts cannot be used in direct reference, its a great place to start your research. Many related artiles are helpful and new terminology for you to look for may be mentioned in the article. All subjects are esoteric and we're seeing those same people writing these articles. Vandalism and false facts are common, but equally and more are legitimate, well cited facts and the vandals are being beaten. Mkdw 00:21, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  She has a very valid point in bringing that up and you should almost never reference Wikipedia in an academic assignment. However, in an article like Vancouver and Hollywood North where a great deal of citations have been provided, Wikipedia becomes a powerful tool. You may then go to those cited sources and either look them up online or in your library. To which you may reference in your work. Wikipedia may also alert you to some new information about a certain topic. For example in the article Art Deco it talks about Cubism. A term I had never associated with Art Deco until I read about it on Wikipedia. It also allows a person to research those side subjects, and you may choose to add them if you find other sources. As a student you could bring this up with her and say its not a source to be cited, but a research tool. Mkdwtalk 11:30, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Like I keep telling my friends who criticize Wikipedia -- Wikipedia's a great tool for research, but only if you know how to use it (and not reference Wikipedia for academic assignments). -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 20:15, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

text: She's put up anti-wikipedia posters all over the library now. There's got to be at least a dozen for every wall. Zazaban (talk) 06:23, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, well, some of my friends and I countered with a pro-wikipedia poster 3 years ago. It's still there. threecheersfornick (talk) 00:21, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
