Talk:Élan School

message: This article is clearly biased toward those who support Elan's treatment methods.  Wikipedia is supposed to be neutral, not a platform.  I'll attempt to make it more professional.  It is also poorly written with numerous spelling errors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Petrovmoorichka (talk • contribs) 
:The original entry was significantly negative and extremely biased against Elan School and other material was added to balance the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seigar101 (talk • contribs) 04:07, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bias 

message: The Skakel part was the ONLY element of national significance at Elan -- how can it not be included?  It's OK if opinions are included, as long as they're balanced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.79.149.226 (talk • contribs) 20:52, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

message: As described by the edit summery I placed with the hangon tag, I kind of messed up.  All I saw was a very small article, hardly any content.  My mistake.  I'm also kind of tired, so that may account for it.  Either way, I'm sorry.— Dædαlus→quick link / Improve 09:59, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

message: One of the allegations is by the state of NY and the article refers to that state threatening to stop paying tuition... the school is in Maine, are NY taxes really paying for some of our students to be shipped off to Maine and educated there? I am just curious how that works and maybe the article could elaborate on it.Camelbinky (talk) 10:19, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, New York and other states send students to both in-state and out-of-state private schools when that placement is determined to be necessary to educate a child with special educational needs. This is related to the requirements of the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which guarantees each child a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). --Orlady (talk) 18:30, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Can I get a clarification? 

message: nothing in the article mentions problems with the actual psychological or psychiatric orientation.  Why should we 'see also' psychobabble? --142.163.195.18 (talk) 22:16, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I initially came to the talk page to see if anyone had asked that. Since you had and no one answered, I deleted it. 184.15.187.111 (talk) 09:44, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

message: Could we please refrain from posting YouTube/YouTuber videos of shock-value quality as proof and reliable source of information?
The information uploaded on Wikipedia needs to be from realiable, trusted and most importantnly unbiased sources with the upmost credibility.
It's not about taking sides, an advertising stunt for a YouTuber or for shock-value material. Content which is exploitive of this situation for quick entertainment and making everyone involved on that, real people, in a "schlock" horror movie is of the most bad taste possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2804:14c:117:267d:8197:716:f2ae:b24a (talk • contribs) 14:49, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  YouTube Videos 

message: I removed Phil Williams Jr. because his death is already covered elsewhere in the article. I don't think that Tiffany Sedaris should be there, as I think that all alumni are required to have their own page or section about them on Wikipedia. I'm fine with being proven otherwise. wizzito | say hello! 02:14, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: you reverted my edit, but did not discuss on the talk page after I posted this comment. Can we please discuss? wizzito | say hello! 00:26, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think there's any policy saying that all alumni are required to have their own page or section on Wikipedia; after all, the degree of coverage necessary for discussing someone in an article is different from the degree of coverage needed for devoting an article for someone - WP:NOTABILITY specifically says it does not apply to article content. I'd also be reluctant to remove them because I think it could lead to a misleading list of alumni; much of the coverage of Elan School alumni has focused more on Williams or Sedaris, not eg. Weasel (who is only connected to it by a passing mention.) Why remove eg. Williams and yet keep Skakel, who is also mentioned elsewhere in the article?  And if you removed all three, you'd be left with a list that is nothing but Ben Weasel, backed by a source that only mentions Elan in passing - clearly a list that doesn't represent the overall coverage in reliable sources. --Aquillion (talk) 03:13, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
