thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: Not quite sure why 88.215.37.80 seems to be so ashamed of the decision to explore Bellan closing as a Prep School? Text was agreed with the school. Nonetheless I am not entering into a Edit War about it. Will dig further now to see if there is more to this than I first thought due to what appears to be a multi-ip address campaign to suppress this information.

replies: text: May I remind you all that new messages on a talk page go at the bottom of the page, not at the top (so I have moved your various recently misplaced messages), and also that messages on a talk page should be signed, in accordance with the instructions at WP:Signatures. - David Biddulph (talk) 15:20, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

text: Sorry, it would need a reliable source. The school doesn't get to decide what is here; that's what your own website is here for. In fact, the school and its representatives need to be very careful about editing this article at all. --John (talk) 22:09, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Reliable source (2nd Para) added - Alphaceo (talk) 22:52, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a primary source. I'll let it stand for now while I think about it. What I said here and on your talk page sill stands. --John (talk) 05:11, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it's a primary source and I suggest you actually read primary source, namely the bit that says: Unless restricted by another policy, primary sources that have been reliably published may be used in Wikipedia. This section pertains to an announcement made by the headmaster and the source is the announcement made by the headmaster; it doesn't get any simpler than that. Alphaceo (talk) 06:20, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Mmm, well as an administrator on the site I have read it, many, many times. I was thinking of the bit where it says "Material based purely on primary sources should be avoided." It doesn't, as you say, get any simpler than that. There is quite a lot of material which will have to be trimmed, unless it can be sourced reliably from third-party sources. --John (talk) 19:54, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: List of headmasters

message: , the reference to eBay was a terrible one, and I can support removing that, but this edit says "strip out refs which are not really necessary given they all have articles". So now we have a list with no citations at all, which is plainly contrary to policy. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools/Article_guidelines#Alumni, which says 
So we need references for attendance at the school. Really we need to add references to all these names, not strip them out. Moonraker (talk) 22:04, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
