Talk:United Nations International School

Shape Up!
I'm not too up to speed on this school but this article doesn't really seem appropriate for wiki... It would be perfect on the schools website to promote the school but this is clearly a biased article written by alumni or faculty full of statements that haven't been factually evaluated. I kind of expected more from a school this nice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.55.78.101 (talk) 07:45, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

This page is in a sad state of affairs. Why is the UNIS website so poor, and why have no students or alumni contributed to this wiki entry?

Not true! wikipidia is very important and most of us do care about what's said about UNIS. I will try to improve site, -could someone please fix the logo? I can't get it to be visible.--Javier00032 (talk) 00:54, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

By the way, anyone knows whether I can take pictures of inside/outside building (without people) and just upload them? Or should I ask for permission? --Javier00032 (talk) 00:56, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

One more thing: The UNIS site has been completely redesigned, it's worth checking out. --Javier00032 (talk) 01:00, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Assessment as of March 2007
Hello all, and thank you for contributing to this school site. I'm part of the WikiProject_Schools/Assessment team, and, I'm reviewing this page. I'm currently giving it a grade of Stub on the Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale and an importance of High on this importance scale.

My reasoning is as follows: Lots of Celebrity name dropping but not much content. Needs much more information and references. Adam McCormick 06:03, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Continuous Vandalism
I hereby request this article to be semi-protected or fully protected because it has been vandalized almost on a daily basis. In each case, fictional or historical figures have been added to the alumni section, which clearly do not belong there. Thank you, (Einstein00 (talk) 03:03, 22 January 2008 (UTC))

Curriculum
The section Curriculum sounds like advertisement taken from the schools homepage and needs to be rewritten. --Pentiumforever (talk) 13:03, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

IB Diploma Programme
This section also reads like an advertisement; why is it here? Why is this repeated here? Isn't a reference to the IB Diploma Programme article sufficient? Instead of this where's some first hand discussion of the Curriculum @ UNIS? --151.205.162.138 (talk) 09:55, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Map
The school used to have two locations (one on the eastern edge of Manhattan, the other in Queens), and thus two addresses. The second location has closed. The map in the infobox appears to show a pin in the correct location (only visible when the map is expanded), but is scrolled/zoomed into the former location. I can't figure out how to adjust the map correctly, despite checking the coords on the page, and checking the Wikidata entry. Assistance welcome! Dotx3 (talk) 03:40, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
 * There is a Coord call at the very bottom of the page, which if I'm reading infobox school correctly is what is being utilised to show the map. If you update that template call, it should (again, if I'm reading it right) change where the map is pointing. If you want more help, change the help me-helped back into a help me, stop by the Teahouse, or Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 10:25, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply! The  at the bottom of the article was indeed wrong, but doesn't seem to have affected the map shown in in the infobox (although it did help fix the coordinate shown at the very top of the page). What's throwing me is that the infobox map is actually showing the right location (ie, the pin marking the lat/lon it is showing) is in the correct place, it is just not visible as the map viewport is incorrect - and I can't figure out what's controlling that.
 * Well then I'm stumped. I'll leave a note at the template talk; someone more familiar with the template might be able to help. Primefac (talk) 14:11, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
 * In my experience mapframe sometimes take a few hours to adjust to changes. Perhaps a caching issue? I will check back tomorrow. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 22:23, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Seems not... Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 23:51, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
 * OK, this seems to have sorted it - I fixed the map with the optional infobox template parameter "mapframe-frame-coordinates," set to the same lat/lon as the location (which it's now pulling, correctly, from wikidata). The map displays correctly, although it does feel like it's manually overriding something from somewhere that shouldn't be there. Dotx3 (talk) 00:31, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
