Talk:Reading School

message: just a security note - is it OK to have images of children on the internet - I know it is petty, but in todays world, this might be frowned upon - just a point to consider - maybe a photo of the school without the children might be better. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Warlorddagaz (talk • contribs).
Sad but true - taken down for now - still available here: Image:Reading_school_berks_uk.jpg. I dont have another pic anyone else? Zephyris 09:14, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's probably as OK as any pictures of adults (image rights and so forth). If you're really concerned, just reduce the image size to make identification from the photo impossible. In the more general sense, I think it's likely that predators are aware that there are children at grammar schools, so you're not exactly passing on any new information... --Eyrian 11:20, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: "Grammar boys are simply the best"

message: Although the following links are password protected they are very useful for staff and pupils of the school:
Reading School Webmail This link is for pupils and teachers to check their emails at home - very useful and informative.
Reading School Media Server This is a very useful link for teachers and pupils to access the school's media server - allowing pupils and teachers useful information, websites, pictures for their coursework and homework, and also allows free discussion about the news and the school.
The only people wanting to access these services is pupils and teachers, which is ok because they have their own password and can access both. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fish4bananas (talk • contribs) 20:21, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

message: It should be noted that the assessment is carried out from the perspective of the architecture wikiproject; because the article predominantly concerns itself with a description and history of the school it has received a 'stub' rating. If the architectural aspects of the article are added to, please drop us a line at WP:ARCHA for a further review. Many thanks. --Mcginnly | Natter 11:12, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone think someone should add teacher list with photos? I have photo of Mr Hurst during a charity week.
:: Unfortunately I don't think your photo can be used as you would have to get permission from the boys' parents. I think it should probably also be removed from this page as well. It's not really appropriate to have a list of teachers as it would be of no interest to anyone outside the school, and would be impossible to verify and maintain. Dahliarose 22:55, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It wouldn't impossible to verify or maintain - staff lists are easily obtained from the school. However, I agree that it would not be much use, and that photo's would not be appropriate--Warlorddagaz 19:52, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Are these co-ordinates correct? If I enter 51.2654, 00.5718 into Google Earth I end up just south of Bearsted, Kent. However, if I search on the school name these are the co-ordinates which Google Earth provides. Any ideas?Dahliarose 12:10, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As no one was able to answer this question I've now used the co-ordinate template at the bottom of the page to get the co-ordinates to read correctly in the degrees, minutes and seconds format. Dahliarose 14:53, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

:Take a close look at what I wrote - I stated that they weren't notable, not that they didn't exist. Regardless, I look forward to your new article, as then the community can judge notability - unfortunatly I can't, as my knowledge on music is limited. If they're judged to be non-notable, then it'll have to go. Hopefully they are notable, in which case of course the mention can stay, but let's keep it consistent with the other entries for living ORs, i.e. a one-phrase example of what they are, and not an entire advertisement on them. In the future, please ensure that you read edit summaries correctly, to avoid the possibility of incorrectly accusing someone. TheIslander 22:05, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: (Note: my second edit summary on this matter, "Google search throws up nothing - non-notable, as previously stated.", should in fact have read "Google search throws up nothing notable - non-notable, as previously stated." My mistake. Still, both that and the previous comment make it clear that I was refering to notability, and not mere existance. TheIslander 22:09, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Righty. The article on Alok Prasad has now been speedy-deleted twice for failing WP:A7, i.e. he was non-notable. By that logic, he's not notable here either, and so should not remain. TheIslander 19:39, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Kindred Spirts- they do exist, and I am currently penning an article on them

message: This was discussed in the Old Redingensian magazine a few years back, with the result that Addington was almost certainly NOT a pupil at Reading School.  I am therefore removing him from the list of notable ORs.  If anyone has information further to the magazine articles, then please correct this!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.65.176.196 (talk) 13:01, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Presumably more information came to light. Is the board described in a publication anywhere? If so, that could be used as a source to add Addington to the list. Robminchin (talk) 01:22, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
