Talk:Tring School

Present stub status
I have a comprehensive history book of this school, written by a former headmaster complete with a considerable references section. It is possibly the most comprehensive history of the school produced in recent decades (published in 1993) I'm in the process of digitising parts of the book into this article, so bear with me. Please know that when considerable, bold editing takes place it will be planned and from reliable sources, not piecemeal pseudo vandalism. Thanks, »»» M ª ««« (talk) 21:02, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

To be frank i have no idea what you are on about when you mention vandalsim however that is of no matter. I also happen to own a copy of the book you mentioned (The History of Tring School by Clifford L Watkins) and so i know your source is relable. I myself was planning on using information from this book to create a more comprihensive history section however i do not seem to have found the time.

This page seems to be very outdated with most the information being nearly a decade old. I hope someone can help update this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.92.183.210 (talk) 13:40, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

See also section
It has come to my attention that a certain user (who i will not name so as to give him a chance to correct this fualt) has been vandalising this section. This section is an important section of the page and its deletation limits the pages capabilities. I ask this user to please stop vandalising the page.

 * On the contrary, I have tried to accommodate your changes whilst correcting typos ("religous" still being present), adding a reference and corresponding section, deleting an empty "Today" section, removing redlinks ("Tring Library" is unlikely to become an article), adding links to "voluntary controlled" and "Hertfordshire County Council" (although that one is a redirect), and correcting the link from "Specialist Humanities College" to "Humanities College" to avoid a redirect. Please let me know what the problem with those changes is? Thanks - Scribble Monkey (talk) 17:34, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Errr... Do you even now what this section is about the title is a good guess by the way. The See Also section! (Electrobe (talk) 19:33, 9 January 2008 (UTC))


 * Really? So "See also" means let me put two links which duplicate previous links in the article? Shouldn't that be "See again"? Anyway, I digress. Try answering my points above, or put the changes back. - Scribble Monkey (talk) 21:13, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I have established the status quo ie Humanities College and this page should reflect that. If an editor is not happy then the proposed move should be taken to WP:RM. Further, I have removed the See also section pursuant to WP:ALSO. TerriersFan (talk) 23:16, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

You havent got any points left that hadnt already been delt with by the time i read this article. (by the way its disagree not digress) (Electrobe (talk) 16:24, 10 January 2008 (UTC))

Trivia
Mentions of current staff (eg heads of houses) are very difficult to verify and maintain and are not normally mentioned in school articles. Similarly sections on school uniform are considered unencyclopaedic. There is a set of school article guidelines which has the widespread support of the Wikipedia community WikiProject Schools/Article guidelines which discusses these issues. I cannot now remove the trivia for a third time because of the three revert rule but have asked for assistance at the schools project. There are also other sections here which are best removed. The whole section on Aims appears to be lifted straight from the school brochure and is quite inappropriate for a school article. Dahliarose (talk) 11:14, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The guideline page is strictly advisory at present but is worth following, I am a little confused by the summary of this edit, but apart from that this seems to be a simple disagreement. I would suggest requesting a Third opinion if you cannot come to an agreement. Camaron | Chris (talk) 12:00, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree that in this instance the uniform information is not encyclopedic and unnecessary. Although the article guidelines are only a recommendation, they also have consensus in the community. More importantly, however, the section is unreferenced (Verifiability). Please either reference the material or consider removing it. The use of a false edit summary in one instance is also confusing and unhelpful, probably contributing to why the edit was further undone by an independent editor --Jh12 (talk) 13:58, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
