message: Why do people keep deleting things?
The Miss Coates/Mrs Gordon is true, and the Mr Saunders story is real!
SO STOP DELETING UNLESS YOU KNOW YOUR FACTS!!!

:Truth is not enough. Verifiability is what's needed. Jimbo Wales himself has said that unsubstantiated personal criticism of living people should be removed. He has more authority on Wikipedia than you do or than I do. Loganberry (Talk) 16:02, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dead Links 

message: Can some admin or other tell me how to correctly add sources, so far all I can think to do is add hyperlinks with superscripted numbers or add something along the lines of "see [insert link here] for details". Both of which I have used when finding sources.
So far I have found 4 seperate sources for facts on the site, so if people agree, I think that at least one of the messages at the top of the article should be deleted.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Random2502 (talk • contribs) 20:32, November 28, 2006  (UTC)
:WP:FN has information on how to use footnotes correctly.  The  and  tags can be removed at any time, but the fact that they are there is an indication that somebody thinks the article either isn't sufficiently referenced or includes original research.  You should probably wait for somebody else to remove the two templates from the top of the article.  JDtalk 20:37, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sources 

message: The Pupil Council won't solve the problem of pupils reaching their potential, the pupil council is meaningless and pupils only go to it to miss out on lessons but i can't write all that in the article because someone like Majorly or Random will go and delete it even though it is the truth. --172.202.109.67 16:22, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Certainly do. Verification is important, not truth. --Majorly 16:28, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: True as it may be (and I should know, I was on the pupil council) do you have any sources? -- 81.153.241.44 16:33, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What verbal evidence? --Majorly 22:21, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That isn't verbal, that's written, by an anonymous user who could be anyone. Any websites, books, magazine, newspaper articles? --Majorly 14:23, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was on the pupil council... And it really was a pointless thing... Although I liked putting my opinions across nothing ever gets done about what you say so it really is just a big skive off of whatever you've got that period. - Random2502 21:45, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Pupil Council 

message: There are so many unreferenced, POVish and anticipatory/speculative statements statements like these that i thought do not meet the standards:
    * "There was shock and outrage from the parents of the school as the school's Higher results slumped from 36 to 30% for pupils passing 3 or more highers from 2005 to 2006. This is an indication of the failing standards of the school and something that Mr Coton needs to urgently address."
    * It remains to be seen whether this approach will help results improve. Some people have claimed that the failings of the school are caused by the recent exodus of experienced teachers and the school's refusal to organise revision classes during the holidays."
    * "The pupil councils in Monifieth High School aim to promote and enhance the quality of school life for staff and pupils."
    * "Hopefully, thanks to the pupil council, something will now be done about this problem."
to mention but a few.
And then there are some facts that I doubt would fit in an encyclopaedia. Like for example the the fire and power failure, the duration of each period, the tucking-in-your-shirt rule... If you think they are notable, please give acceptable references. TwoOars (T | C) 12:46, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
