Talk:Coventry Blue Coat Church of England School

message: PLEASE, stop removing this, or at least edit the text to make it more encyclopedic. Have added the link to the external list which I think serves as proof enough. I find it strange how an unknown moderater can remove a section on past events which they were in no way involved with.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by Swarvellous dude (talk • contribs) 23:03, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I consider it dubious, because of your editing record on this article, and the fact that the names in this section have appeared in obviously dubious material before. Even if it is a true and accurate account, it is unencyclopaedic and probably only included out of vanity or a poor attempt at humour. ~ Scribble Monkey 08:17, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Well, this is just stupid. BT, you are being pretentious and picky for no apparent reason. This article is not a groundbreaking scientific research paper - and does not require mediculous sourcing. If a fact is incorrect, it will quickly be removed by the pupils editing this page, as shown by the speedy removal of the vandalism that has been posted earlier. These facts are correct, as any pupil attending the school would testify. The facts you have asked us to clarify are on the whole impossible to clarify, but nevertheless are still encyclopedic content. In fact BT, there are claims in an article originally  started by yourself (Babur missile) that the top speed of the Babur missile is 550mph reached by a cruise turbo-fan engine. Although, the source at the bottom of the page clearly states that the method of propulsion is currently unknown. Now this is clearly wrong information and not encyclopedic content since the page content does not even match the source material given. On the other hand, this webpage, which has nothing to do with yourself, has described the runnings and policies of a school - for which there are no 'tech spec' websites avaliable, and therefore no cure-all references. You have interfered with a factual website for no justified reason, without even monitoring pages you do have an interest in. This is hypocritical and pretentious, and you are clearly just attempting to exert your admin power in an unfair and dictatorial manner. If I find myself banned after this, then you will only have proved my point. Swarvellous dude 20:46, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I'm honored that someone actually bothered to look through my contribs, even though it's an article I haven't edited in over a year.  And I'm pretentious and picky for the simple reason that I was stupid enough to unprotect a page consisting of unreferenced negative commentary, and was told outright that the contributors intend to actively ignore Wikipedia:Verifiability.  Fortunately for all of our sanity, Eipped has upped the stakes by requesting protection to my most cut back version, which is a self-defeating measure if I ever heard of one as I'm now so thoroughly disgusted by almost everyone that I wash my hands of the whole mess.  I do hope that someone bothers to add references to this article so it can be more than hearsay. Please don't act surprised the next time someone comes by and removes the long paragraphs of original research. - BanyanTree 01:02, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Rantings of S. Dude 

message: What the hell? I give up a good half hour of my life to expand the article around the key feature of this music college to be told that this is vandalism... Hmmmm, It would appear that my earlier uncontrolled rantings have gone unnoticed and i must yet again take to my keyboard to defend myself. It would appear that wikipedia is so desparate to avoid criticism from a school that they must cut back articles to the point that they consist of merely the schools name. Comparing the Blue Coat school to other schools in the city on wikipedia immediatly shows an imbalance in the amount of information avaliable, and this is clearly discrimination by wikipedia against the school, since it is selectivly removing information about one school whilst the others remain unchecked. Again this is hypocritical since the entire point of this move was to remove any discrimination against the school. My section on the Blue Coat Choir is 100% factual, and as a long serving member of the choir it is an insult to have such facts dismissed as pure vandalsim. I feel that an apology is in order. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Swarvellous dude (talk • contribs) 20:42, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I get the feeling that this is fast turning into an edit war, which no-one wants. I Propose that no one edits the actual article for 14 days. Talk about changes by all means buti think it best that no-one edits the article for a while so we can all chill out. Message me to tell me what you think. Lightwhip 12:57, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Stephen Timbrell 

message: The article states "The school was founded in 1714 ...". It then states in the same paragraph "A new school was opened on the present site in 1964 ...". So, it seems that the article is about two schools with the same name. If this is the case, when did the first school close? Coyets (talk) 07:47, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Choir information, especially, needs updating.  Quote: "In the summer of 2013 and in 2014 the choir will be taking up the invitation to sing again in Wells Cathedral. Future engagements will also include opportunities to sing live on BBC Radio 4."  So, what DID happen?--Brenont (talk) 19:36, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
