message: 1) In extracurricular activities:
( For the past eight years, the school has been building a concrete yacht as a millennium project ("The Third Millennium Ketch"). The boat is being constructed in a temporary boat shed attached to the school. This is scheduled for launch in 2007, and will be owned by the school and used for outdoor pursuits.
The boat was originally intended to be finished in the year 2000 and was called "The Millennium Yacht". However, due to the scale of the project, the ketch wasn't finished in 2000 and the project has now been completed. As of May 2007 the boat, christened "The Tenacity of Bolton" has been finished and its boat shed removed.)
this needs to be condensed into 1 paragraph, its a muddle of conflicting words, ie its finished and the above sentence says it isnt.

The line
( The motto of the school (used only by the Boys' Division) is Mutare Vel Timere Sperno, meaning "I scorn to change or to fear". )
 Needs changing to:
( The motto of the school previously used by the Boys' Division is: Mutare Vel Timere Sperno, meaning "I scorn to change or to fear". )  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boxrick (talk • contribs) 16:58, August 27, 2007 (UTC) 
The motto is still used, so changing it to 'previously' is wrong.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.109.122.38 (talk) 17:08, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I think the original assessment (start/mid) is consistent with our ratings. The high importance English schools are generally those which are already listed in Microsoft Encarta or other encyclopedias and those which have long lists of important alumni. The top 20 ranking is in fact an unreferenced claim for just one year (2004). The other unreferenced rankings in the article place it outside the top 100 in the league tables. However, the school was founded in 1516, and has a surprisingly short list of alumni for its age (only one before the twentieth century) so is potentially more important than is apparent from the present article. If the article and list of alumni could be expanded, then I suggest that the editors come back for a re-assessment. Dahliarose 18:48, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

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.
