Talk:St. Albans School (Washington, D.C.)

message: I would consider changing the format of the graduation years of the notable alumni to their four digit versions because there are currently conflicts as to whether the alumni graduated in the 20th or 21st centureies. The amount of these conflicts will of course highten as time goes on. Should the alumni be split into 20th century graduates and 21st century graduates, or shall they be enumerated with four digits?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmrmaria109 (talk • contribs) 01:54, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

If you want to explain why Maximilian Schellinger should be added to this article, that would be helpful. Otherwise, this is a very short article for an important school, and it would be appreciated if you could help make it a much better article.  gK ¿? 16:28, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: So, you St. Albans is older, has more illustrious graduates, and is more prestigious; huzzah. My feeling is that the American St. Albans has the unqualified name because it has been around on Wikipedia for much longer - almost a year. Also, Wikipedia stared as a primarily American project, so it makes a little sense that it would go first. So I guess I'm saying in a complicated and sarcastic way that I support the move, with a disambiguation page. After all, both schools have a good relationship and participate in an exchange. 
PS, There is also high school in St. Albans, Vermont, although I'm not sure after whom it is named. Donbas 17:36, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

text: That's called "squatter's rights" ;-) I think a dab page is the best answer, especially if there is a third candidate. - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C]  AfD? 10:43, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *User: David Pierce suggested that St. Albans in DC remain "St. Albans School", and the St Albans in Hertfordshire be known as the school prefers, as "St Albans School" without a period. This seem like a plan, but St. Albans School (Hertfordhire) should redirect to St Albans School, not the other way around. In this case then I think that a dab is unnecessary. Donbas 18:42, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *The problem with that is that the other school also does not usually use the period (it is not the school of St. Alban, it is the school in St Albans  -note no period), and in any case the use or otherwise is somewhat arbitrary.  A dab page is safer, I think. - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C]  AfD? 20:00, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *I'm gonna take this public on the Talk: St. Albans School page so other people interested in the subject can comment. Sound good? I think that a dab is better, but the English public school should retitled as "St Albans School", even if we keep the "(Hertfordshire)" after that. The American private school should be "St. Albans School", even if we add the "(Washington, DC)" as well. Donbas 18:15, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
