copy vio?

Large sections of this article appear to be cut directly from the schools website. Please rework it or it may be nominated for deletion.Balloonman (talk) 06:48, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've had three different people email me and one anonymous person post on my talk page asking about this page. Currently the page is a copy-vio, to fix that somebody can take the same material and simply rewrite it. You don't necessarily need more information, you just need to rewrite it in your own words. You also need to assert why KAS is special/notable. I think that argument can be made, but somebody needs to make it. In its current form, this article is a prime candidate for deletion, but I don't want to nominate it quite yet. I want to give those of you who care about it a chance. And to answer the person who asked me, no I'm not going to rewrite it... I have other articles/activities that I'm more interested in pursuing.Balloonman (talk) 07:27, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

KAS isn't 'noteable'...that's the problem I'm having here. I briefly edited some stuff (ie Community Service). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.21.238.26 (talk) 08:05, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at wp:school it is only a proposed template, but it might give you some ideas. Also WP:SCH might be able to help you with the article itself. An international school/HS can be established as notable.Balloonman (talk) 08:20, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Criticism"

Various newly registered and IP address editors have been repeatedly inserting a criticism section that appears to be an out-and-out attack on this organisation. The criticism is unsourced, although a link to a blog was provided - this is not an acceptable source. When this is removed, another sock appears and puts the exact material back, often with a misleading edit summary. Therefore, I have protected the page temporarily to try to encourage the sockmaster to discuss the changes and understand Wikipedia's rules.

The rules in question are: that all text must be verifiable with reliable sources that are checkable and that the use of multiple accounts to repeatedly insert this material is not allowed.

Editors wishing to make changes to this article can insert {{editprotected}} below with the suggested text and someone will be along to move the text over shortly, with my apologies for the inconvenience. ➨ ❝ЯEDVERS❞ a sweet and tender hooligan 17:22, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Information on criticism accurate. Please allow editing. Wikipedia should not be censored whether this organization likes it or not.Allkqiwuai (talk) 06:27, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
