replies: text: The problem we have is that this article is now a direct copy from the website. I am not going to revert the article, but we need to solve this dispute. If the old revision had errors, you could correct them without copy and pasting the website information. Also, if you believe that the image is not allowed to be used, go to the page of the image and request its deletion. --WillMak050389 21:25, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A note to the national office of NHS: editing your own articles, may you be a corporation, program, or if the article is a biography of yourself is seen as a potential conflict of interest and is widely discouraged on Wikipedia, even if your actions are well intentioned.

text: Wikipedia is an encyclopedic effort, we will not post your emblem unless it is a free image, but since your organization has specifically requested that we not post it then it won't be.  But, please do not turn the article into an advert which is what it reads like now.  Bold print and disclaimers do not belong on encyclopedia articles.  For instance, read Girl Scouts of the USA as an example of an organization's Wikipedia article.  But the changes you have made are going to have to be re-written greatly, but your website can be cited as an in-article source.  But copyright violations,  like the copy paste job done here are very much frowned upon. It also may be best if you just not edit the article or bring up any changes that might be made on the talk page as per WP:COI. Darthgriz98 15:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Nhs logo3G.gif is being used on this article. 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 Wikipedia articles 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. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 16:34, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Nhs logo3G.gif

message: Something for consideration might be the addition of a controversy section to this page.  One in particular that comes to mind is the process for selecting members.  I have known qualified people who were not accepted even after they filled out all necessary paperwork and met the requirements because the review panel did not accept them.  There has to be other examples of controversies as well.  We just need to make sure this section would conform to WP:NPOV and be sourced.Bradkoch2007 01:14, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Controversy Section

message: Should the controversy section be removed completely perhaps? I don't know if one incident from one high school over 20 years ago is a fair example. The information is arguably outdated.71.34.11.176 (talk) 20:38, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I deleted the section after following the reference and realizing that nothing was provided that mentioned NHS. If someone could find a source that shows that this incident was NHS related AND was relevant to the organization as a whole, rather than being an isolated incident at a single chapter, then it could be included.

thread_title:  Controversy 

message: As far as references go, this article is entirely reliant on primary sources. In fact, most of this is taken from the NHS About Us page, sometimes even word-for-word. I don't know of any secondary sources that might be applicable to this, so I'm going to leave it tagged for now unless there are any objections. RAN1 (talk) 08:31, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Primary source tagging 

message: This entire article seems to be copyvio, linking to Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2013 June 7 for reference. --RAN1 (talk) 20:45, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Copyvio 

message: Is the following text appropriate for this article?
"over 50 of them coming from Maranatha High School"
To me, it looks like vandalism.  The text was added on 2015 February 2. Mecanoge (talk) 08:19, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is the reference to Maranatha High School appropriate? 

message: As a member of the "Golden Key National Honor Society" myself (which I became while attending an American university), I initially thought this Wikipedia article was wrong when
stating it is for Highschool. It took a while before I realized that the "Golden Key National Honor Society" is not the same as the "National Honor Society". In addition, there is also the "Golden Key International Honour Society" (notice the word "International" as well as the British English spelling of "Honour"). I may have only scratched the surface here. Are there other such societies with almost identical names? Regardless, it may possibly be a good idea to somehow state in the article something like, "not to be confuse with [society X or society Y]".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:3B8:1001:AAAA:D0C8:32F7:670C:29B5 (talk) 21:43, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
