Intra-category cleanup

I have just embarked on a cleanup of articles in the category, as well as Primary_schools_in_Singapore. I notices the common problem is that many have huge long lists of courses or CCA's offered, which I do not believe are very necessary nor encyclopaedic. I have seen several good or featured articles on schools which will describe the achievements or special features, and so these are considered acceptable. I have deleted the unadorned lists without touching any prose which is related to CCA.

There has also been the tendency of editors to include items such as school's philosophy, mission statements, vision statements and strategic goals. I believe these to be highly promotional texts. In most cases, they have also been removed.

Paragraphs within mottos and crests sections may also be promotional, but I have left these alone. Ohconfucius 03:27, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
