Talk:Marvelwood School

message: Not wishful thinking...but taken from marvelwood.org under new student body:
"Many of the students who enrolled at Marvelwood had also considered Cheshire Academy, The Gunnery, Berkshire School, Forman School and Storm King School." -

Good grief! I'm sure some of those same students had "considered" Hotchkiss or Choate, only to be told they would be better suited for a school like Marvelwood. I hope you are not suggesting that since it's on Marvelwood's website, then it's what must be on a Wikipedia entry. The point in listing admissions rivals is not to include the other schools the Marvelwood student had considered, but which ones they were actually accepted at.
What you don't seem to realize is visitors to the Wikipedia site, such as consultants and prospective students and parents, ultimately see through this kind of chicanery. Hey, they can get it from Marvelwood's own propaganda machine. They probably thought they could come to Wikipedia for a different experience. Sadly, they will be disappointed if people like you have their way.

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.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Marvelwood Seal.jpeg

message: "The Marvelwood campus is relatively isolated, surrounded by conservancy lands, but provides an ideal environment for a small boarding school. The facilities were a significant improvement over those in Cornwall;" - an "ideal environment" is an opinion without anything specific to back this up.  "Significant improvement" also is an opinion unless it is sourced.
"the 1960s-era buildings on the girls campus are in the midst of much needed renovations and upgrading including a new athletic facility, due for completion in October of 2007. The 50th anniversary celebration was a highlight of the 2006-07 school year."  - this is repetitive information as it is detailed in the first paragraph.
