Talk:Lyman School for Boys

message: I have no clue about "wikify". I wrote this page to the best of by ability.
It is written according to the Chicago Manual of Style, properly punctuated and
properly spelled.
If anbody knows what the nasty-gram about 'wikify' means, please fix. 
Somebody  wrote at the bottom that it needs a "Category". I don't know
how to do this. The catagories are "Historic Places" or "The first reform school".
I haven't seen a 'Catagory' seen on other pages so I don't have a clue.

message: The article seems to be written by one person, and takes all its "facts" from autobiographical works - hardly reliable references. "Most" of the children were sent to the school without cause? You'd need an authorative study to support that claim, not some former inmate's memory. As an earlier commenter said, this is pure POV, and should be rewritten entirely by someone with a balanced interest.

thread_title:  What a stinker! 

message: I've pulled citations to a self-published book in this article. The inflamatory claims in the book and the Wiki article are not supported anywhere else. A Wikipedia article should not be based on the claims of one person, whether from their own blog or from a self-published book. The fact that these claims were made as fact in the main body of the article and not in a 'Controversies' section makes it worse. Any reform school that was open for 100 years is going to have some sad stories associated with it. They don't belong in the main body of a short article.

message: Note the tattooed fingers mentioned. What is significance of this? Was this boy someone who went on to a prominent career - for good or for bad? It just seems an odd point to reference. Irish Melkite (talk) 19:10, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
