Students, Teachers, Administrators, Alumni, etc., UNITE![edit]

We've gone too long having such a crappy wiki article. Take a look at Lawrenceville's page. Let's work together to make this a good article! Jolb 06:42, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed Perfectorange007 06:45, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I don't want to put a stub marker on this page, but I'd like to point out to all that this page is full of stubs, and according to wikipedia, "you can help Wikipedia by expanding it." On another note, I was trying to add in some more chronology about the history of the school, but I can't remember exact dates. Please change 1960's and 1990's to more specific dates if you know them. Jolb 07:02, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, Piv and I (JHak) stayed up until 4 AM working on this article. We expect some props. This site is now pretty damn good. Especially with those coordinates at the top right. Jolb 08:55, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lower School[edit]

We need somebody to write about this. I'm too lazy. Jolb 09:04, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Demographics, Philosophy, Dress Code[edit]

The article probably should have sections on all of these...Also, if you have any good photos of the school to which you own the rights, it would be great if you uploaded them. Perfectorange007 19:01, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow...[edit]

Someone put a lot of effort into vandalising this article... And it's from W-H's ip. Jolb 19:17, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You should tell the truth about the school's academic policy towards evolution.

He DOES teach evolution... sorry. Jolb 21:24, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Added the Wikiproject[edit]

I'm adding the WP:SCH tag so that wikiproject schools will come and look at our article. However, I think if they rate us, we'll get B-class (not a good article) since we don't have many in-line references. Jolb 02:24, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pshhh[edit]

We beat you guys at track the other day! Oh snap! (It is true you guys only had like 7 people) JDHS

LOL nice. I'm on the track team... I skipped the meet because I know we just suck too much. Jolb 02:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Starting to reference this article[edit]

Having helped to write this article before I became a true wikipedian, I now come to rectify my unsourced sins. Expect a lot of new references... and a lot of new requests for help at finding citations. I have no way of getting the W-H course offerings or any citable data about the campus and buildings, so any help in those areas (even just posting links here on the talk page) would be greatly appreciated. Jolb 19:33, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I added about 20 references. I think it's a pretty good improvement. However, certain sections still do need references:

Facilities and Campus. I don't know where to find any references, but I'm sure there's some sort of W-H brochure that outlines it nicely.
Student Life: subsections Between Classes and Homerooms. These might be unreffable, and therefore should be deleted. However, there's a chance there is some sort of reference for these, so I'll leave them with unreferenced tags.
Academics: subsections The Lower School through Agora Program. We need a course offerings booklet or a curriculum description to reference these, and I don't have one. If anyone does, please help.
Arts. Has one reference and needs more. This could also be referenced with a course offerings booklet or a curriculum description.
Parent-Run Organizations. This too might be unreffable without some sort of official W-H document regarding parent organizations.

Obvious editing bias[edit]

As an alum and former editor of this article, I have noticed certain trends: 1. Updates to this article are extremely selective. Even though Wardlaw has changed substantially in the last 4 years (when most of the article was written), very few sections have been edited to reflect those changes. 2. The changes made have been biased. For example, the entire section about criticism of the administration over dresscode inequalities has been removed. (Probably by Gerard Gonella.) Even though most of the article is over 4 years old, most of the edits made since then have removed criticisms of Wardlaw-Hartridge--instead of updating the criticisms section with new, updated information, the entire section was simply removed, with no updates. This edit is particularly representative of bias since the criticisms were referenced (the source was the school newspaper), and no reference as to why it should be removed was provided.
