message: Someone (or possibly more then one person) has been adding fictitious information to this page in an attempt at humour, this is probably due to the URL being posted in the schools forum on bebo.
If anyone who reads this page and finds obviously fictitious information (such as references to magical powers) could they please remove them and return he page to the way it was before.
:Don't worry, I've reverted the page twice in the last hour only, and I'll add it to my watchpage. Should the "humorous" vandal return, I'll revert him again. Cheers, -- Phædriel *whistle* 11:34, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I would have thought that being a schools article the sections on the pastoral care and sixth form should come immediately after the history, rather then at the very end with sport as the second section. Given that this is an article about the school I would have thought that would be of more immediate interst as it describes the overall organisation of the school. Although sport is a reasonably important part of school life it is an extracurricular activity, and only a comparatively minor one at that.

message: On Google Maps, the linear distance from the centre of the main buildings of DSMC and MES is 1.002 miles, or 1.636km. However, travelling by road the distances will be slightly longer. I don't know how to estimate the shortest distance travelled by road. Preacherdoc (talk) 10:46, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

message: In the extra-curricular section, I believe that STEM2 is now fully in colour, priced at 50p and not always self-funded as a recent glossy issue was given another budget not produced by sales of previous magazines but, generally speaking, it is still mainly a self-supporting venture. Can anyone back me up?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by DebatingGreg (talk • contribs) 11:23, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  STEM2 

message: There is a mysterious (to me) paragraph about examinations in the lead section.  I have no idea what SQA, intermediate 2, Standard grade etc. mean.  This paragraph to me is much too detailed and should be in the body of the article - not in the lead section which is supposed, as per Wikipedia guidelines, to be a brief summary of the information in the rest of the article.  I propose moving this examinations paragraph down into the body of the article.  I hope then someone will re-write it so that I can understand it. Also it is out of date. It refers to what will happen in 2013. It is now October 2014.  Did whatever was supposed to happen actually take place in 2013?SylviaStanley (talk) 16:48, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Examinations 

message: There is a paragraph in the History section about a medal:
"The school now has in its possession a medal dated 15 July 1870 presented to a John Stewart [9] The medal was gifted to the school by a Mrs Rose Connolly of Glasgow whose birthday is coincidentally also on 15 July."
There is one reference:  " Mrs Rose Connolly"
Unless someone can convince me otherwise, I do not think this meets Wikipedia's criteria for notability.  Also the reference is not a reliable secondary source as per Wikipedia guidelines.  I propose deleting this paragraph.SylviaStanley (talk) 20:51, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

I added a mention of the co-ed S6 in the opening paragraph which may not be necessary (although the link to Sixth Year is).
If/when the Junior School expansion is completed, please update the page when someone gets the chance.

message: I've taken this section out as it discussed the controversy over Dundas and the Melville Monument, which is covered by those respective articles. If others have points to add on how the controversy related directly to the school, please add it; however, as it stood, the section was irrelevant and gave a false impression that the school is closely linked to Dundas rather than, as is the case, being only partly and indirectly named after him.CPClegg (talk) 13:12, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
