Talk:Anglo-Chinese School (Independent)

message: Added top boy's school consistency and awards part in the introduction. It is vital to express such information because it gives people the first impression of the schools, similar to that of RI or RGS. And yes, this article needs severe cleanup. 
This entire article is in a terrible state. It is incoherent, messy and totally disinformative. Anyone wants to clean it up properly? The Fascist 14:26, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, there seems to be a lot of propaganda inside. --Terrancommander 17:53, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've more or less toned down the bias in the article. Is it acceptable now? Ariedartin JECJY Talk 12:43, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Needs to be cleaned up and all the ACSI propoganda to be gone for good. --Terence Ong (T | C) 13:06, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Right'o. After my common tests, sure. :) Ariedartin JECJY Talk 13:34, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In my opinion, the clean-up has made the article (more) disjointed, (more) unreadable and totally disgusting. Readibility is more important than the presence of the "propaganda" that we worry so much about. The Fascist 09:18, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for your most frank opinion. Unfortunately, your opinion does not run along Wikipedia policies of WP:NPOV. Readability plays second fiddle to the neutral and informative nature of a true encyclopedia. But of course, even short articles can be quite readable, like Squier Stratocaster, so I contend that point as well. Ariedartin JECJY Talk 12:57, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: How can you get information if you aren't able to read it?The Fascist 13:16, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I already told you: the information is readable. I acknowledge there are deficiencies in content like architecture and systems, but that does not compromise the readability of it. Furthermore, this is an encyclopedia, not a advertising agency. Please read the policies of Wikipedia before you make any further comment. Ariedartin JECJY Talk 04:24, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Hmmm. The problem is that I am writing academic publications on this topic, so I have to be a less active here. Minor fact checking and amendment is what I will do, but I am recusing myself for now from major activity. However, if you want some material you can contact me. I am reasonably easy to find. Brythain (talk) 13:54, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

text: ACS(I) can be considered a top school based on the rankings you cite. The last academic ranking based on O-Level results was in 2005 (for the 2004 examinations) simply because ACS(I) fielded a reduced cohort from 2005 onwards due to the through-train programme. In the Straits Times of 27 Sep 2004, Sandra Davie reported over several pages on how a new ranking system had been implemented. Part of that ranking system was school awards, and by that criterion, ACS(I), RI and RVHS were the only school that year to have won ALL the awards available.Brythain (talk) 02:55, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

text: Okay there're some on commons but I've also added a couple here. Anyone's got a couple on the inside of the original compound? Chensiyuan 05:11, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

message: something needs to be said of the swimming and badminton streaks. water polo was strong too, and track/squash/tennis in flashes. anyone got the details? archives? Chensiyuan 12:01, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: on second thoughts maybe championships won pre-1986 will not be considered ACS (I) achievements... Chensiyuan 12:31, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay made a list to be filled/expanded. Where possible source(s) would be fantastic. Chensiyuan 12:18, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Uniform

message: I think the article isn't very neutral, words like "spectacularly well" etc... needs to be cleaned up especially since most of the article is devoted to listing down the achievements of this school Limecock (talk) 14:41, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You need more specific examples other than mere abstract thoughts (i.e. your first point). Otherwise, the concerns (if any) cannot be properly addressed. As for your second point, the logic is not apparent. Chensiyuan (talk) 15:01, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: AND I AM DONE! Man this article had the descriptions of IB, IP, MPE, GEP, and etc and so much junk... Completely reorganized everything to resemble other secondary schools' pages. Not sure where the following picture should fit into the article, perhaps someone should expand the Campus section, include the IP block and then put it in.θvξrmagξ contribs 02:53, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
