Infobox added, needs expansion. Unsure, need clarification from Victuallers on "more topics". --Jakobalewis (talk) 20:32, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Moved article to mid-importance

I have moved the article to mid-importance on the importance scale as Weston college has received a lot of national attention, being named the Overall FE Provider of the Year and College of the Year at the TES awards 2015. The college has also been featured by the BBC and ITV over its acquisition of the Winter Gardens. IFT2015 (talk) 14:26, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Much of the content of this page seems to be copied with little or no alteration from the publicity materials of the college itself, such as this document. Some examples:

Our article That source
The centre also has a dedicated Animal Unit, providing access to an extensive range of small and exotic animals. The centre also has a dedicated Animal Unit providing access to an extensive range of small and exotic animals.
BEC also supports unemployed people to get back into work through specially-tailored training packages. The Centre also supports unemployed people to get into work by offering specially-tailored training packages.
... plus a facility dedicated to training motor racing technicians. ... includes a facility devoted to training motor racing technicians.

That is in my view quite unacceptable. Our page on close paraphrasing says this: "Paraphrasing rises to the level of copyright infringement when there is substantial similarity between an article and a copyrighted source". I believe that is the case here, and intend to remove the offending parts of the article as a copyright violation. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:31, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Archdeacon Henry Law & Bishop Dr George Henry Law

The recent expansion of the history section of this article includes: Archdeacon Henry Law & Bishop Dr George Henry Law. After looking at the reference given I am unsure whether these are same people as Henry Law and George Law (bishop) although it seems likely - can anyone confirm and wikilink if appropriate.— Rod talk 17:18, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
