Talk:George School

message: I took out the link to :Category:Quakerism because I think that the link to List of Friends Schools and to :Category:Quaker schools should be sufficient.  Logophile 16:52, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: agreed. If someone wants to know about Quakerism, that doesn't mean he wants to know about GS. Th'above user is right that he'll click on Quaker Schools from Quakerism if he wants to know about Quaker Schools, and that will bring him to GS.--Signor Giuseppe 14:51, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

text: I'm delighted that my classmates (I also attended from '95-'99) are enjoying this article that I've worked so hard on. It is still a pity that Westtown's is longer, and that we provide a link to them, but not vice versa. Then again, it's a bigger school and was founded first, so I guess that's okay...--Signor Giuseppe 23:26, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: First of all it's not a competition.  If you think the two articles need to be interlinked, then go edit `town's.  The article's a good start, but there's still lots to be done.  I'll add some suggestions below. --Ahc 12:59, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quaker Schools 

message: Here are some thoughts about what could be added to improve the quailty of the article:
*Images would be helpful, the school's logo and a campus scene (main building being the obvious choice).
*Lengthen the history section some.  The school's 100 years old, we should have more to say about it.
*Notable alumni section.  Many school's sites have one.
*Someone should check the schools project pages for appropreite templates and categories to add.
*Some basic school demographics (size, diversity stats, percentage of grads going to college).
Of getting some references in place would also be nice.  Much of the current school information can probably be referenced to the GS site.  History and such would probably require someone spending some time with Kingdon's book. --Ahc 13:18, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Improvement's needed Sept 2006 

message: Curiously, although the mailing address is Newtown, most of the campus seems to actually be in Middletown township.  Worth noting?  The township line is just south of the Newtown bypass. More confusing is that the link for Newtown goes to Newtown Borough, not Newtown Township.  The bits of campus not in Middletown are in Newtown Township. -- Olof
I'm on it.--Natcase 12:45, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Location 

message: Please cite this if you are going to claim this. For example, Punahou School was founded in 1841 and was co-educational from the start. AND all the way in Hawaii. --Kukini 22:53, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with you, I just was following links from westtown, which was founded in 1799, which makes it the second oldest and thought, well, at least this this would be third oldest.  Which it isn't, by far. Nice catch. leontes 22:56, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It was your catch that helped me make this one. It seems that many high schools are making claims such as this on Wikipedia. --Kukini 22:57, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Oldest co-educational high school?

message: This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 10:15, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  WikiProject class rating

message: lonestarblogger has been adding critiques of the school recently. While discussion of critiques made elsewhere are more than welcome (a lot of the current article has the self-satisfied tone of a booster piece), really the whole thing needs an NPOV makeover, andwe need more citations if critiques are going to be included. I edited lonestarblogger's discussion of Julian Bond, because I was easily able to find external references to his time at GS. I encourage critiquers to do the same in regards to racism, classism and homophobism critiques.--Natcase (talk) 13:46, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I am requesting semi=protection for the article, which has had persistent vandalism and blanking from anonymous users. lonestarblogger and valkyrie88 have also made blanket reversions. Attempts to mediate and discuss have been met with silence. Discussion is still invited, as are responsible edits.--Natcase (talk) 23:52, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. - This appears to be a simple content dispute which should be worked out on the article talk page. —Travistalk 01:17, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Umm, the person (or persons) who keep reverting and blanking have never visited the talk page despite repeated requests for over a week for him/her/them to do so. Please reconsider, or advise how to proceed with a content dispute where one party does not respond to requests to discuss on the talk page, and persists in blanking the page from anonymous accounts.--Natcase (talk) 02:34, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Edit War

message: lonestarblogger has raised issues about the neutrality of the article, and has called for expert input, but has failed to discuss these issues here. In fairness, I will leave the tag up for a month (until April 15), to allow time for discussion of any neutrality disputes. After that point, if there has been no discussion, the tags will be removed. Fair enough?--Natcase (talk) 05:35, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Neutrality/Expert needed Issues

message: Someone has been removing whole paragraphs of history (regarding work camps and Julian Bond) as "irrelevant." It seems to me that the problem is not too much history but too little. What other "high points" would help fill out this section and not make the two passages in question seem so out of place... it certainly seemed out of place to jump from the school's founding to the Dodd gift with nothing in the intervening 115 years.--Natcase (talk) 03:03, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
