message: I am also a former student and I can testify to the quality of my teachers and to the tremendously rich environment, full of students with many interests, including social and cultural. Most students speak French. I didn't when I entered school, but our teacher had a very good system and I can say that pretty soon I was speaking fluently. In addition, one shares meals with the teacher. By the way, the food was excellent; not at all what you would expect from a school's kitchen.
-- I would certainly hope that the food is good at the most expensive school in the world... (NBMATT (talk) 12:34, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

message: BTW, while we're at it, can anyone verify that the New York Van Cortlandt family is still in existence? I saw that someone listed them here as alumni, but this cannot be verified so I removed it. I am convinced that the family is extinct. If anyone has any info, please share.

replies: text: That was my fault. I had conflated my cousins' Swiss boarding schools into one. Additionally, their last name excludes the final 't' and probably most of the Patroon heritage thereby implied. The young ladies in question attended Dwight and The American School in Switzerland, neither of which is Le Rosey at all. --Seja430 01:17, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Distinguished Alumni 

message: the sons Justo and Pasteur Obiang of Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo (president of Equatorial Guinea) attended Rosey. They moved to College De Leman as of 2005.
Also the article remains biased:
"Invaluable to the students is a very high-quality education with an International Baccalaureate. However, as adults, having a worldwide network of former classmates at the highest levels of industry or government can be priceless."
Should be removed, whether these items are actually valuable/invaluable/whatever is debatable, as is the quality of an IB diploma. It should be removed, or changed, stating facts rather than opinion.
Also, the phrase is pleonastic, "invaluable to students is....However, as adults.....priceless.
I do believe that invaluable and priceless mean the same thing, why "however"?

I am well aware that Google is not Britannica, and am unsure of the "other consequences" to which you refer. Feel free to elaborate on my talk page. --Seja430 00:53, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Still biased, + contribution: 

message: If you want proof that this section is a target for hoaxes, I offer this smoking-gun example: A new article in The New Yorker describes the repeated frauds of Samantha Azzopardi of Australia, describing how she once used a forged letter of reference from Le Rosey. Curious, I did a quick search of WP for more information about her, finding her mentioned in this very article: "Emily Samantha Azzopardi granddaughter of French billionaire Liliane Bettencourt also attends Le Rosey." It was added by an anon editor in Australia in March 2011. The timing (after the hoax she referenced Le Rosey in) suggests that Azzopardi may not have added it herself... or maybe she was setting up the next one. Regardless, I've just removed it as obviously untrue (and a BLP violation of Bettencourt). A shame the above statements of vigilance weren't followed up on. -Jason A.

message: I have put in the link for Brian Mullally and Kevin Mullally several times, and it is removed. Why? There is proof that Brian Mullally went to le Rosey (the alumni page) and there is proof that Kevin Mullally is the Director of USAID in Rwanda and is obviously an American Diplomat. It was even printed in the washington post. If you simply google it, it is there.

Also, you may have noticed when you were adding that name that that section has an invisible note (i.e. one that you don't see when reading the page, but that you see when you open the edit box) warning editors that names added will be removed unless they give verification on the discussion page. By the way, your article on Keven Mullally has been deleted. Apparently it was a copyright violation. AnnH ♫ 22:53, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't understand why Michael and Christopher Wilding, sons of Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Wilding, were removed from the Notable Alumni list.  I have a 1967 Rosey yearbook where they are listed as:   Mike and Chris Wilding, Los Angeles.  Many others are listed as progeny of famous people and aren't Liz Taylor and Michael Wilding famous enough ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mediacritic99 (talk • contribs) 06:52, 14 September 2006.
:Hi, Mediacritic. Yes, sure they're famous enough, but as the first sentence of this policy document says, "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. 'Verifiable' in this context means that any reader must be able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source." Because Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia "that anyone can edit", we're in constant danger of haoxes, and have to be very cautious about what we accept.  Many of the editors who insert names of people who supposedly studied at Rosey are unregistered users, who add a lot of questionable information and then disappear.  Even the registered users can't be accepted without question.  Any practical joker can register a user name that guards his/her real-life identity, put a lot of nonsense into articles, and not be answerable to anyone. I did a search for the names of the Wilding brothers on Google, with "Rosey", and did not find any mention that they went to Rosey. So, while we thank you for your efforts, unfortunately we can't accept that edit unless the information is such that it can be checked by any reader. By the way, when you make an edit on a talk page, can you type four tildes (~~~~) at the end.  They will automatically convert into your signature (linking to your user page) and the date. Thanks, and happy editing! AnnH ♫ 07:37, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: What is crew?

message: This article is not comprehensive and needs to be carefully copy edited.
*The "History" section should be expanded to include details other than dates and names.
*There should be some discussion of academics. What kinds of courses are offered? What kind of curriculum is followed in the elementary school and secondary schools? etc.
*There should be some discussion of student life. What kinds of clubs and activities are there? What kinds of athletics programs are there?
*The list of alumni is too long - either create a separate page or drastically reduce it to a paragraph. (Yes, all alumni claims have to be sourced.)
*Many sections of the article read like prose lists. Remove some of the statistics and explain the rest in relation to each other or some common benchmark, so that the reader isn't overwhelmed.
*The article needs to be carefully copy edited.
The editors might take a look at some of the FA university articles; that might help them structure this page better. Awadewit | talk 09:03, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:InstitutleRosey.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

message: There is a contradiction in this article. In the introduction, it states that Le Rosey is the most expensive school. However, in the "Tuiton Fees" section, the article states that the Le Rosey is the second most expensive school in the world, after the Collège Alpin International Beau Soleil.
