Talk:Priory School, Portsmouth

Notability

not notable enough to warrant its own page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.26.102.218 (talk)

I have to disagree, with some expansion and work this could be a very good article. Deletion would also defeat the objective of the Wiki Schools Project, as the majority of articles it deals with are of this type, and more notable education establishments articles are with other projects, such as Wiki Universities Project.

It doesn't work like that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.26.110.9 (talk) 20:46, 6 April 2007 (UTC).

Wikipedia is not an advertising service, but cleanup should be put before deletion. Camaron1 | Chris 16:43, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Assessment

I have assessed this article, the feedback given is as follows: This article needs to be expanded to contain more topics, such as current school policies, and be better structured with use of section headings. An infobox and picture would also be good additions. Camaron1 | Chris 20:02, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Revert tag edit war.

There appears to be an anonymous user with a dynamically assigned, variable, IP address 82.26.98.237 - 82.26.110.9 - 82.26.111.152 - 82.26.99.28 - 83.26.102.63 - 82.26.106.254 - 82.26.107.31 - 82.26.102.218 to name a few.
Who has for some reason, either simple mischief, dislike of the city of Portsmouth England or its educational establishments or some other reason not apparent, decided to repeatedly call by one method or another for the deletion of a set of articles.

South Downs College (Portsmouth)
Mayfield School (Portsmouth)
City of Portsmouth Boys' School
The Portsmouth Grammar School
Portsmouth High School (Southsea) a subdivision of Portsmouth
St John's College (Portsmouth)
City of Portsmouth Girls' School
Priory School (Portsmouth)

Similarly this user has recently made changes to the main Portsmouth page by unlinking
Highbury College, Portsmouth College, South Downs College and Havant College Admiral Lord Nelson School, City of Portsmouth Girls' School, King Richard School, Mayfield School, Milton Cross School, Priory School, Springfield School, St Edmund's RC School, St Luke's C of E VA Secondary School and City of Portsmouth Boys' School.

In addition as, user Simon S Sumpton (since blocked) this user seems to have created diverts for
Admiral Lord Nelson School (Portsmouth)
King Richard Secondary School (Portsmouth)
Milton Cross School (Portsmouth)
Springfield School (Portsmouth)
St Edmund's RC School (Portsmouth)
St Luke's School (Portsmouth).

It might be suggested that the user is attempting by a series of guerrilla actions to use Wikipedia policies and procedures in an attempt to get administrators to remove all traces of many if not all educational establishments in the Portsmouth area.

While the standard of some of these articles is poor, their removal will not encourage those who have an interest in them to make the necessary improvements to bring them up to an acceptable level.

Deletion would also defeat the objective of the Wiki Schools Project, as the majority of articles it deals with are of this type, and more notable education establishments articles are with other projects, such as Wiki Universities Project.

MERGE

I am against the proposed merge of articles suggested it would cause a loss of information in many cases and an overloading of the main page. Notably a similar set of proposals was made by an anonymous user to disrupt the Portsmouth page and those of its schools information is here and also here -- Drappel 21:10, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

I may be able to Help...

Hi, I am Steve Wiilliams, a citizen of Portsmouth and an attendee of Priory School, so it may be obvious how I can help. First of all, I must mention an annoyingly persistent ban which comes up every time I wish to edit a page. This is not my fault, and I am not seeking to raise this ban because it would just mean the persons whom share this computer system with me would just be able to use it again for Wikipedia's disadvantages. However, if there is any information anyone would like to hear about the school in order to be able to add it to the page, I would appreciate if you asked me for the information. Please do not raise the ban on this IP address because I would not like any more damage to occur on any pages of Wikipedia from here, otherwise I may get an overall ban.
Thank you, your friend Steve O, by the way, whenever I used to click 'edit page' to add some stuff to something such as an article, I used to always get a message telling me that I needed to choose the program I wanted to use in order to edit the page. Unfortunately, there were no compatible programs, so does this mean I will never be able to edit pages in Wikipedia again or something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 13steve13 (talk • contribs) 11:39, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
