Talk:Hampton School

message: I have cleaned it up a little bit, but could you please identify which bits are extraneous. The amount of detail is too much for a wikipedia article on Hampton School in general. Perhaps it deserves its own page. (FeanorLobelia)
Have given the Rowing its own article. Left just the basics (The Spith)
I would question the notability of the Hampton School Boat Club, and whether it needs its own page? Might pu it up for deletion in the next few days to open discussion Sage1314 (talk) 12:33, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too much detail on rowing 

message: Could you please add sources to this article through which facts about the school can be verified.  For example an anonymous editor changed it from religeous to secular.  There is no easy way to verify that.  According to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, the onus is on the original editors to add such material.  Otherwise suspect material should be removed to the talk page.  Mozzerati 12:39, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure exactly what is going on with this article, if the section on the Great Gas scare of 2006 is intended to be humerous or if anything related to it has actually occured. I am removing this section and placing it here becuase I am unable to find a single reference to this type of incident actually occuring on google news and I think something of this magnitude would warrant at least a single news article. If you have some sources with a judicious rewrite it could be reincluded in the article. AdamJacobMuller 01:56, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:HamptonSchoolLogo.jpg

message: Can alumni of the school not notable enough to have their own wikipedia pages be considered to be notable enough to be on the list of notable alumni? I have seen this sort of thing pruned on other pages, and will remove all un-notable slumni presently. Arguments on a postcard Sage1314 (talk) 09:49, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Alumni

message: Inherently for such a low-importance page, and being a school, much of the editing is done by editors with connections to the school.
What mustn't be overlooked is what makes this school/page distinct. It is first and foremost a private school, charging very large sums of money for attendance. Less than 6% of all school pupils in the UK experience this. The comparative lack of official scrutiny such schools receive is also noteworthy, so any public record should address this.
Attempts must not be made to whitewash the school using Wikipedia as public record. Text should prioritise clarity over familiarity to ex-private school pupils.
Versions of this page in the past have read like a prospectus. This is contrary to Wikipedia's Core content policies. Johncarrots (talk) 13:22, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
