Talk:Sir John Deane's College

Assess for School's Project
This is a nice looking article whivh unlike many has a good set of references. It should therefore be a "B" article, but it lacks a history section for a school that is 400+ years old. The alumni and the age get you high importance. The school's project can help if you need more assistance Victuallers 04:26, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Mark ALlen, you have stooped to new lows

Use less stronger words, really sounds like an advert, you've got a website to do that for you!! Djm1279 19:19, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

The statement: "Sir John Deane's is seen as a very competitive and reputable college to people of the surrounding area." sounds a little too much like an opinion to me and not a fact. I wonder if it shouldn't be struck from this encyclopedia article.

Fair use rationale for Image:Sir John Deanes Logo.jpg
Image:Sir John Deanes Logo.jpg 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 this Wikipedia article 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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 11:09, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

History
I have added the history section based on my recollection of reading Cox almost a decade ago. I've been cautious and just included the main outline, as memories are deceptive. Matt 03:00, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Page 11 of Cox (A History of Sir John Deane's Grammar School) outlines that Deane had no university degree - which contradicts what has been said regarding his degree in the History section. 21 February 2019 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.9.33.118 (talk) 00:44, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Bias by inference and language
"There are also subtler signs, such as the fine original buildings, the presence of a flourishing boat club in a state school, and the distinctive college arms.[citation needed]"

should be deleted as the phrasing, tone and use of the word "fine" implies that schools in the state system of education (to which it is being compared in this paragraph) lack by definition any such "from the ne" buildings. Pure and simple snobbery of the worst class-based views about British education. 2A02:C7E:1C6E:B400:7CFD:6D28:8FAC:53A3 (talk) 09:02, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Have just removed this as it had been tagged as cn since 2017, and bordering on original research. Hadn't seen this comment at that point. Tacyarg (talk) 18:16, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
