message: Hello editors!
I have a lot of requests coming your way about posting more information on the history of Repton. Most of this information has been compiled by the school's historian, and I think a lot of it can be beneficial when it comes to the History section of this article. I'm posting what I have and letting you decide what belongs/doesn't belong on the page because I have a COI.
I've trimmed what the historian originally wrote to make these requests more reasonable, but I understand that this may be a lot still. I've vaguely edited Wiki before so I've coded everything to the best of my ability, but let me know if anything needs to change to make this easier for you.
I have a COI with this article. While I do not work at Repton and am not being paid for this, I do know someone who works in communications for the school and that is how I am able to obtain this information in the first place.
Thank you for taking a look. ChicagoHawthorne (talk) 20:16, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: Thank you for providing the OCLC,'s it's much appreciated. Unfortunately however, the request does not state where in the History section this information is to be added to. The information also uses a tone which is generally not used in Wikipedia articles, by not attributing, through the text, certain statements (e.g.,  and  and  and  and  and ) When claims are made in the article, it's important to attribute them to authors in the text, which this text does not do. It's for these reasons that the text is not acceptable in its current form. Regards,  Spintendo  15:38, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
