Talk:Wellesley College, New Zealand

Fair use rationale for Image:Wellesley college logo crest.jpg
Image:Wellesley college logo crest.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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

NPOV
My section edit to "Wellesley" having been reverted, and discussion on my User talk having foundered, I have tagged the article with NPOV. The language used about Stevens is clearly not neutral. Charles Matthews (talk) 12:08, 20 June 2021 (UTC)


 * It is entirely neutral, it is history. Eddaido (talk) 12:12, 20 June 2021 (UTC)


 * To quote the template documentation: "The neutral point of view is determined by the prevalence of a perspective in high-quality, independent, reliable secondary sources [...]". Charles Matthews (talk) 12:19, 20 June 2021 (UTC)


 * I've never read that far! They are easy to find. However, my sometime friend, I will leave you to join with another once friendly acquaintance, he though in Commons and the pair of you may do what you will, no lets and no hindrances. I was the sole objector to his appointment as an admin.


 * I have protested already. Lets see what you do then I can protest again. Eddaido (talk) 13:06, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Peter Millais Harcourt, the author of the most-cited reference in the article, was a pupil at Wellesley College (Banks) from 1928. From when he was about five years old, then. He wrote about Croydon School, and another book about Wellesley College. These may be good books, but "independent" they're not. I have found an account of the headship of W H Stevens in the 2012 edition of the Wellesley College magazine. That is not independent at all, but it manages to be fairer to Stevens than this article.

So it is going to be tricky to find excellent sources. (There is also the self-published Wellesley College 100 Years On by Bruce Levick .) I think that means the article needs to be written in a conspicuously careful way, at very least. Charles Matthews (talk) 13:26, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

By the way, what brought me here? "W J Birch" on the board. I have been working on William John Birch, his father, and WJ junior is probably worth an article. Charles Matthews (talk) 13:33, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
