Talk:Porter-Gaud School

message: Porter-Gaud School makes no attempt to hide the facts in the cases related to the late Mr. Fisher.  However, we do make every attempt to protect the anonymity of his victims.  Moreover, the School has moved on in positive ways over the past decade and our website reflects the present reality.  9 February 2006 (UTC)
So- do these "facts of the case involving Mr Fischer" belong here? The phrase I quote above is all that remains. Can you please fix that, participating and knowledgeable editors?  Joetho (talk) 17:58, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

As to the student council being "awsome" this was a student named SSG [removed] has been demoted to SGT untill he has come before the council. This was not implied by our support staff and will be fixed.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jab843 (talk • contribs) 2006-02-10T00:22:43
:Unfortunately, gentlemen, this entire encyclopedia is under strict orders to keep a Neutral Point of View.  That means no puffery, no boasting, no peacock feathers.  Surely, however, you gentlemen are confident enough in Porter-Gaud that you don't need to rely on flowery, nonsense language to show how impressive the school is, do you?  Focus on making factual statements that you can back up with specific sources.  Show how good a school Porter-Gaud is.  Don't just say so.  And don't dump a list of good schools that PGS alumni have gone to. (And remember to sign your posts by putting ~~~~ after them.) Truly, JDoorjam     Talk 00:31, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There are two substantive changes I made: deleting the (unsourced) list of schools you claim alumni have gone to, and deleting the sentence "Porter-Gaud represents over a century of experience in preparing students for college and guiding them through their formative years to maturity." which sounds as though it came straight out of a brochure.  All of the other changes I made were for readability purposes.  Relax: substantively, the article is almost exactly as you wrote it. JDoorjam     Talk 00:48, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  GOD 

message: This is very nearly a B but doesn't quite qualify because of the lack of references (only the alumni are referenced). See if you can convert the lists to prose sections. Trivia sections are usually frowned upon - try and incorporate the material into the text. Keep up the good work and come back for a re-assessment when you have some more references.

thread_title:  Track 

message: The sources on this article seem to have been entirely neglected, and as such I have deleted the vast majority of the information on this article (which can be found in the history tab, before the edit removing 19000+ bytes). To anyone invested in this topic, I highly encourage you to add back information that you are able to source. Note that all information, in almost any context, is liable to being deleted if it is not sourced (note that generally infobox information is not expected to be sourced, but something like number of students should if possible).
For notable alumni, add a source from a newspaper article or something else that at least points to some form of notability. Linking their Wikipedia page is not enough.
I hope this article on Porter-Gaud gets built up responsibly, as it is a real shame that so much information needs to be taken down due lack of credibility.TheGEICOgecko (talk) 05:39, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
