message: Can someone plaes fix the infomation box
The translation of the school motto... I thought Beati Mundo Corde meant "Happiness binds the world".  Have I been getting it wrong all these years?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.138.186.5 (talk) 10:51, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  user box needs fixing 

message: This article is clearly edited by the school.  Not wrong in itself, if they didn't use it to sell the school.  Pay for your advertising, and leave this site as an encyclopaedia. 86.17.246.75 00:28, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Don't use Wiki for advertising 

message: This is related to the matter discussed above. I could find no evidence of Lancing being ranked 17th nationally in any league table in 2005. I have added in Lancing's A-Level ranking by the Daily Telegraph for 2006. Since there is a large difference in the figures, until proven otherwise, the 2005 figure has been removed.
I have also removed the claim that Lancing is one of England's most academically successful schools. In any event this claim is vague and hard to justify, and given the league table rankings seems misleading (some county rather than national claim may be more appropriate).
In general, please remember that POV (point of view) and facts with reference will be removed. Complaining that other schools do it is no excuse, make the point on their discussion page, mark the article as biased or question facts..... 
I would also highly reccomend that the statement about being internationally renowned is taken out, and have marked it on the page.

thread_title: Academics / A-Levels

message: Twice in two days, the real Daily Telegraph ranking for A levels has been removed and placed with an unsubstantiated and false claim that Lancing College came 17th in 2005.
Also, "prestigious" has made its way back in. This is a POV description unless you are talking about e.g. Eton or Westminster. 
Finally, Public School has been replaced by Independent School. This is because this is what the school and other schools like it describe themselves as. Secondly, there is no consensus as to what a Public school is (see its wiki). 
In conclusion, unless the POV and false statements are stopped I will ask for this page to be protected.(talk)

thread_title:  Academics 2 

message: Articles on numerous alumni of the college have been recently added,without sufficient information or references to demonstrate notability, and in some case with material copied from other sites on the web., Please stop doing this--they will inevitably be deleted. if you're going to write an article on an OL, make it a good article. DGG (talk)
And I have removed some information from the article that is generally considered excessive detail in articles about schools. DGG (talk) 02:24, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Warning

message: Removed the Lancing Slang section completely, as there seems to be a general agreement that only Eton can get away with having one.

Why would that be the case? Is Eton in any way "special"? 137.205.69.37 (talk) 02:14, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Lancing" Slang 

message: The fee-fixing information is sourced from The Times. That someone wishes to give the college a squeaky clean image is not a valid reason for deleting it. WP should aim for all the facts.  The other establishments in the group have let it stand, perhaps with a Now We Don't.--SilasW (talk) 20:26, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
