Talk:Jakarta Intercultural School

message: This article has way too many titles for such small... text things. Like the title-text ratio is completely out of whack. I think more information needs to be added, or combine different sections.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bonzai273 (talk • contribs) 14:32, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, it's looking a lot better. I still think that "campus" should be merged into the appropriate grade-level sections, i.e. put high school information into the high school section. It's just too small to stand alone in my opinion. - Bonzai273 (talk) 14:31, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

text: What other information should be added? Area measurements could be added, but specific things like buildings should be under the facility information for the specific school sections, in my opinion. - Bonzai273 (talk) 07:03, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

message: What notable people are alumni of the Jakarta International School? RahadyanS 17:21, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Maya Soetoro-Ng does not fit my personal criteria for notable alumni, given that her only reason for independent notability is having a half-brother. Adding such a person, in my opinion, is not significantly different than adding every family member of every presidential candidate in world history. Finally, the fact that Soetoro-Ng attended JIS before Punahou School is not referenced in either that article or this one. Please provide such a reference. --Jh12 (talk) 19:58, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Notable alumni?

message: There is so far only one reference, and the article is over 1,500 words. Also many facts are stated, such as the number of computers. Some sort of citation is a must, otherwise this information could be purely opinion-based. Even if the citation is just "[name of admin], [role of admin]", as that is of course a reliable source. - Bonzai273 (talk) 14:36, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Good, I think the information is now justified with satisfactory citations - Bonzai273 (talk) 06:25, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Citations

message: I worked on getting rid of some of the bias, and generally made it more neutral. I also shifted some information into history.
This article is verging on an advertisement with its extremely biased attitude. It is making it very unencyclopedic, questioning the reliability of the information presented. Particularly the "mission" and "philosophy" sections; they must be written in a way that displays JIS' philosophies whilst maintaining a neutral point of view. If this cannot be done, it is best that they are removed. - Bonzai273 (talk) 14:27, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I do not question the truth of the information presented, but I feel that the style of writing is not suitable for an encyclopedia. As I mentioned in the talk page, opinionated, even qualitative words - such as "well-balanced" - should be avoided. I think it may be necessary to shorten all the mission/philosophy writings into one section. Having it spread from the introduction, to each of the specific schools, is too much. One example of a well-written article is Baltimore City College, which has an FA rating because of its quality of writing. Read through one of the sections, and see how it remains neutral whilst still giving a good view on the college. They actually don't have any section which displays the mission/philosophy of the school, which makes me wonder whether the section is worthwhile. However, I won't delete until a consensus is reached - Bonzai273 (talk) 06:59, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

message: There is no reason to delete the whole article. You could have simply posted here regarding the issue, i.e. "I'm going to delete this page in 24 hours if this isn't fixed." But no Sarah, you rushed ahead, effectively assumed us to all be criminals, and deleted something many people have spent a long time working on. Can you please revert it, and then we'll all quickly fix it up? It's just such a waste of my time if all my effort on this page trashed. - Bonzai273 (talk) 07:20, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You must be joking. Of course it's necessary to delete text that isn't GFDL. It's called selective deletion. What we do is delete the page and then restore the clean versions. If you would allow me to do this instead of calling me away by reverting and arguing and so forth it would go a hell of a lot quicker. Sarah 07:25, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Once again, very sorry. I don't really know these sides of wikipedia, as I am still a somewhat new user, and I thought you were just going to leave the article as it currently is. I'll let you go ahead with that admin stuff that you do, thanks for the help. I'll try watch over the article in the future to prevent a third occurrence. - Bonzai273 (talk) 07:29, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Absolutely Unnecessary

message: The current version of this article was loaded with copyright vios, so I've deleted it and I've just temporarily restored a clean version of this article. I'm going to restore a lot more but it's going to take a while to sort out the clean versions because copyright vios have been inserted all through the history. I also note that this is the second time that this article has had to be deleted due to copyight issues. Sarah 07:23, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Please stop changing the WPSchools rating to GA.  Articles must go through a nomination and review process at WP:GAN in order to be granted Good Article status.  Because the article lacks references, it should be rated as Start.  I am uncertain of the article importance and will leave it at Mid for now due to the unsourced statement "largest private international school in Jakarta." Thanks, --Jh12 (talk) 08:07, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
