message: :Image:Bournemouthcoatofarms.gif 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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.

message: User:ARC Gritt and User:An Sealgair, if you must have an argument about this incredibly trivial subject, please do not do it via an edit war but reach agreement some other way.

replies: text: Because of our WP:BLP policy, mentioning minors is a recipe for all kinds of negativity and neither is anything sourced properly. There is simply no reason to treat children in this trollish way, these children are not notable. Thanks, SqueakBox 14:31, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Notable, they are senior prefects at the school, again this information has been on the page for years!!! 2007G 16:32, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: And now I have found it I am removing it. prefects are not notable, you have not verified your claims properly using reliable sources nor have you addressed the WP:BLP isues of naming minors in  an article. Until you can do that please do not revert again as you are not complying with our policies. Thanks, SqueakBox 20:18, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You still havnt answered why this has become an issue now, it has been on the page for years, and School captain is the most important role in the school i dont see how it is a small role 2007G 18:02, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: We are improving the encyclopedia, that is the point so if it was alright for years it is not now. Please familiarise yourself with our policies and stop edit warring to insert unsourced info about minors. Thanks, SqueakBox 17:06, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It is all referenced, again i make the point school captain is also known as headboy suggests that he is the most important pupil at the school so like many year before should have his name on the page. And i love the way you can't spell!!2007G 22:37, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not well referenced and we deal with underage minors, there is simply no reason to expose them to wikipedia. Thanks, SqueakBox 21:41, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Referenced, do you need a definition of that!! Every one of those references gives a link to the school's website showing that each of those named is an ex-headboy!! Again i stress that the headboy is the most important pupil at the school, so the most important out of 1,050 pupils and he doesn't get his name on the page, like many years before![User:2007G|2007G]] 19:43, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

text: The school website is a primary and not a secondary source and this is an entirely unnecessary BLP violation that you keep reinserting. please desist and try to find better ways to improve our encyclopedia. What you are doing here is completely unacceptable. Thanks, SqueakBox 18:45, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: So shall we remove the deputy headmasters names as well!! ![User:2007G|2007G]] 11:16, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I will not oppose you if you do so though remember in this case we are likely dealing with a minor. Do you have a conflict of interest here? If so please admit it. Thanks, SqueakBox 16:53, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  He is 18 and we have sources, so what is the problem??? [User:2007G|2007G]] 19:16, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The source does not state he is 18. Your claim smacks of COI. Thanks, SqueakBox 21:41, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  School Captain 

message: Ladies/gentlemen please do not keep on reverting each other, you need to discuss the issue and come to an agreed conclusion on the state of the article. Also you should be aware of the policies over living people as quoted by one party that must be adhered to. Thank you. Keith D (talk) 19:55, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The issue at hand is BLP, I cannot just let it go because this editor is willing to edit war, and what i am removing is clearly a BLP violation. I am wondering at this point if the user is really well intentioned or just trolling. Thanks, SqueakBox 18:48, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Edit warring

message: Hi all.
Just like to raise dispute with "with many teachers always willing to give as much help as possible to the related students" as there are a number of pupils who do believe otherwise (and some have left as a result in the past mid way through years 7 to 11". That be all. Tubechallenger (talk) 14:07, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, that line was added in June 2006 by a pupil of the school and member of the school council, most likely on behalf of or at the request of the senior management. I don't quite know the rules regarding an article written subjectively on someone's behalf, but I'm guessing it means the article is not neutral. That line's been edited out now though, but I think the School Council section might need another look, as it was written in the same manner by the same person...Analysethis (talk) 03:57, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV 

message: Since the government have reformed specialist statuses in schools and colleges, Bournemouth School NO LONGER holds language college status. It does, however, remain a selective grammar school. On this basis, should the section on the article regarding "Specialist Language College" be removed? Thanks, Loopylew672 (talk) 16:26, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably not removed but reworded to show that it was this for a period of time and to give update on it. Keith D (talk) 17:53, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

message: This article is flagged as needing better verification. I went through and removed a whole lot of unsourced stuff, but was reverted by User:GoldMiner24. I'm assuming this was a mistake. Also, per WP:NPOV we can report negative as well as positive things about alumni. Anyway, this is the best place to discuss this. Wubslin (talk) 16:07, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: User:GoldMiner24 has graciously undone their revert, but I will leave this here as a reminder that this is not a place to list unsourced and unsourcable minutiae about the school. --Wubslin (talk) 16:15, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
