Talk:Wells Cathedral School

message: Hello all, and thank you for contributing to this school site. I'm part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools/Assessment team, and, as it has recently been editted, then I'm reviewing this page. I'm currently giving it a grade of start on the Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale and an importance of High on this importance scale.
My reasoning is as follows: This school is one of the oldest in the UK. The start is really based on the length. As you note it could do with a ~Copy Edit Victuallers 14:47, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I dispute the claim that the school is the 11th oldest in the world. The article List of the oldest schools in the world cites few references and has the clear disclaimer that it is a work in progress with likely omissions from non English speaking countries. I think that the list article should be placed in see-also section as it clearly has relevance to the topic of the main article, but the claim itself should be removed. What do others think? --Simple Bob (talk) 11:02, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that that list is not particularly reliable. The List of the oldest schools in the United Kingdom places it as tenth oldest extant school in the UK. Perhaps that would be a better and more reliable claim. -- zzuuzz (talk) 11:23, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Most of the alumni are cited to the School's entry in the Guide to Independent Schools.  However the alumni list there is strikingly similar, down to order and capitalization, to an old version of this page, on which it is surely based.  So this reference is unreliable.

replies: text: Agree, although it may depend on which came first. I'm happy to believe the source is unreliable as it is merely a publicity vehicle for independent schools. --Simple Bob (talk) 15:10, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The history of this article shows that list slowly being built up.  It can't be explained as a copy of the other website.  Kanguole 15:24, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
