Who has for some reason, either simple mischief, dislike of the city of Portsmouth England or its educational establishments or some other reason not apparent, decided to repeatedly call by one method or another for the deletion of a set of articles.  
 
South Downs College (Portsmouth) 
Mayfield School (Portsmouth) 
City of Portsmouth Boys' School 
The Portsmouth Grammar School 
Portsmouth High School (Southsea)  a subdivision of Portsmouth 
St John's College (Portsmouth) 
City of Portsmouth Girls' School 
Priory School (Portsmouth) 
 
Similarly this user has recently made changes to the main Portsmouth  page by unlinking  
Highbury College, Portsmouth College, South Downs College and Havant College Admiral Lord Nelson School, City of Portsmouth Girls' School, King Richard School, Mayfield School, Milton Cross School, Priory School, Springfield School, St Edmund's RC School, St Luke's C of E VA Secondary School and City of Portsmouth Boys' School.  
 
In addition as, user Simon S Sumpton (since blocked) this user seems to have created diverts for  
Admiral Lord Nelson School (Portsmouth) 
King Richard Secondary School (Portsmouth) 
Milton Cross School (Portsmouth) 
Springfield School (Portsmouth) 
St Edmund's RC School (Portsmouth) 
St Luke's School (Portsmouth). 
 
It might be suggested that the user is attempting by a series of guerrilla actions to use Wikipedia policies and procedures in an attempt to get administrators to remove all traces of many if not all educational establishments in the Portsmouth area. 
 
While the standard of some of these articles is poor, their removal will not encourage those who have an interest in them to make the necessary improvements to bring them up to an acceptable level.   
 
Deletion would also defeat the objective of the Wiki Schools Project, as the majority of articles it deals with are of this type, and more notable education establishments articles are with other projects, such as Wiki Universities Project.

thread_title:  Revert tag edit war.  

message: I am against the proposed merge of articles suggested it would cause a loss of information in many cases and an overloading of the main page.  Notably a similar set of proposals was made by an anonymous user to disrupt the Portsmouth page and those of its schools information is here and also here -- Drappel 21:16, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge

message: As a former student I can vouch for the accuracy of a lot of this content, though I can't find any sources which will confirm it. So that means very little, but I'd hate to see this article deleted, it needs to be expanded, perhaps a call to other former students and parents of present pupils might help gather some verifiable sources?
