Talk:Swiss Cottage Secondary School

message: The article currently looks like a rather scrappy advertisement for the school, full of gushing language (of the management-speak kind) in the first-person.  It needs a good overhaul. --Mel Etitis  (Μελ Ετητης) 10:09, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article Contains Political Opinions and Legal Allegations, Not Facts 

message: I posted the original article a couple of years ago.  It was a simple just-the-facts piece: who, what, why, where, when and how, aimed at people who knew nothing about CalWIN or any other welfare automation system.  That content has vanished completely, replaced by a mix of in-group jargon and borderline soapboxery, neither of which are helpful to the layperson.  
With everyone's cooperation, Wikipedia can provide both informative facts AND a forum to debate related issues.  But this only works if people put things where they belong.  Articles should contain the basic facts explained in a way understandable to an audience without background knowledge of the subject.  Opinion and advocacy belong only in the talk forum. 
I may try to re-write and re-post the original article at some point...but right now, the prospect seems too overwhelming, and a bit depressing.

replies: text: Albert, Wikipedeia articles objective is verifiability, not accuarcy - see :WP:Verifiability. I'm afraid your updates have replaced sourced information with unsourced updates. We will need to go back to something closer to the old stuff until we have some more recent sourced info. Ideally we want third-party sources, but that seems hard to find about World ORT.  Also, as you have had an association with World ORT, you need to be aware of the :WP:Conflict of interest policy when writing content. Rwendland (talk) 16:34, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm quite happy with that. Just wondered what was going on. I notice in the history the whole article was moved around 22 May 2007 "create temp non-copyvio version". But the article now seems quite similar to what I remember from before then. Was there a real copyvio problem earlier? Rwendland 20:20, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't know what was going on May 22 -- I didn't even know the page existed until later on. It was really quite short when I originally saw it - had only a brief summary, no history and a LOT of external links. And whoever had created it back in 2005 hadn't done anything to it in ages and ages. I can't imagine it would have had any copyvio issues. There really wasn't much to it and it didn't sound like any of the ORT's pieces I'd ever read. Still, I did notice, at that time, some outdated links and thought it was a shame the page was so sketchy so I decided to adopt the page, so to speak. I added some category links, shuffled the external links around the reflect the current structure of the organization (previous version seems to have been based on some outdated information. Then I added the history - which I took in great part from the Ort America site. Your note today gave me some motivation to actually start re-working it. So I should thank you. It needed doing. dmnyc 22:02, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Having found the cleanup tag, I deleted material that was insufficiently explained (just saying that there is an event is not enough, the reader needs to know what happens at the event and what its purpose is).  I also took out a paragraph of POV material about the possible meaning of the school motto.  Since the motto is in English, that seems sufficiently self-explanatory.  I would welcome the return of better-explained and more notable material about school events, as long as it's neutral in tone. For instance, what happens during the multicultural event?

Most of the old G&SWR system, but of course, as with any but the smallest railway systems, there were a few routes which didn't have a service through from Glasgow, so it would be remiss of me to list, say, Kirkcudbright, without fair proof. I don't have many sources on the G&SWR at all; so I'll add a few that were dead certs (Ayr, Dumfries, Carlisle, Kilmarnock, Stranraer) which shouldn't need referencing. --Redrose64 (talk) 15:15, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Not necessarily (see for example Charing Cross railway station, Euston railway station, Liverpool Street station or St Pancras railway station); when selecting article names, we attach no significance to the importance of a station, in particular, we do not invent names and only vary names (by means of disambiguators) when necessary to avoid duplication.

thread_title: Photo Finish in Athletics

message: In the cultural reference paragraph involving Futurama, there is some disagreement between whether the professor's statement is the observer effect or the uncertainty principle.  The uncertainty principle only states that it's impossible to know everything about a small particle (i.e. can't observe its location and momentum at the same time).  The observer effect is about the act of observing something leading to a change in state - the action of observing something might alter the object observed.  So, the professor's comment refers to the observer effect, not Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Lisatwo 01:30, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Any artist or craftsman who reaches the top of his game has worked his ass off, and is unlikely agree that his achievements are attributable to divine intervention.  Brenda maverick 02:49, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So you think that Socrates disparages the hard work of artists/craftsmen, and you think this is wrong. But why should your opinion be in the article? --Akhilleus (talk) 04:38, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Agreed, but people who want to learn about Ion need not be led along by opinionated language to see your point.  As hard as objective criticism can be, a reference source must try to approximate this so the readers can feel trusted to reach their own conclusions.Stephen Kinch 04:44, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

text: The point is that all statements in the article need to reflect the opinions of mainstream scholarship, found in reliable sources. I doubt that the scholars who have written about the Ion spend very much time complaining that Plato is unfair to actors. This appears to be another of User:Brenda maverick's rather idiosyncratic views of Plato, but the personal opinions of editors have no place in Wikipedia articles--unless they are widely held by experts on the subject. --Akhilleus (talk) 21:12, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

text: My 2 cents is that Plato never mentions Thespians in the Ion. A simple search on the text should prove this point. He does mention poets and rhapsodes. The dialogue is focused on the rhapsodic skill and the question of how poets create. --Barce (talk)  01:48, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
