ZH8000 believes that the senior high school campus of the Zurich International School should not be listed in this article. I strongly believe that it should be listed, since it is a full-time school and it is not undue weight for an article about a city of 18,216 people (a very small population: in a city of that size all schools can be listed).

Hi! I took a look at this edit and promptly reverted it.
It is normal practice to list full-time schools, especially if they have senior high school divisions, unless there are too many of them and/or if the city is too big. Not only is the international school serving all Americans in the Zurich area, but this particular campus is also a senior high school. WhisperToMe ( talk) 13:56, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
Firstly, "Firstly it is 100% acceptable to begin a discussion with an editor on his or her talk page, and to question his or her edits there. I do this, and I continue to do it. It is up to the other person when/if the discussion should be moved." No it is not. You start the topic on the article's talk page, nowhere else. If you think nobody take notice of it, you can leave a TB message at related user's talk page. That's the elaborated usage here on WP, nothing else, despite different behaviors by some. (You are free to search for the respective instructions on WP:Help by yourself, please).
Secondly, once again, I repeat myself, it says that "External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they identify notable organizations which are the topic of the article". A. these schools are commercial, B. and are not the topic of any of a (Swiss) city. You can easily create a page for your international schools as you like – and as you already have done – but the above statement is very clear and not contradicting. -- ZH8000 ( talk) 14:37, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
Well, that depends how you look at it. All of them are public schools coordinated by one communal Schulbehörde, but there are six different Schulen with their own Schulleitung and with one or more compuses. You do not have free choice of school, but will be assigned by the communal Schulbehörde based on your home address. There is also a public music school. And there are other publicly supported, but private schools, such as Montesori. Tertiary schools are coordinated by cantonal Behörden. ... Anyhow, I would you thoroughly advice you to dive into the schooling system first, if you really intend to take over this part. Or then leave it as it and eventually some local will take over this knowldge-intensive part?! And anyhow, it is futile since all necessary information is already publicly available. Why reinvent the wheel? By the way, do not call it high school, its very missleading. Anyhow the direct "trabslation" is not advised, if at all, use the local naming. And it is more complex than you probably think, if you want to handle all eventualities and specialities. ... You get the message? Thanks. -- ZH8000 ( talk) 09:13, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
Non-profit schools are not commercial enterprises so the WP:SOAP about commercial links doesn't apply. Yes, people in countries with free public education still pay for their children to go to private schools. The goal of Wikipedia is to list all school options available to residences of a place, hence the encyclopedia part of Wikipedia. I personally tend to limit that to schools that are part of a WP:Notable organization or religion to avoid any WP:undo weight issues, but there is no hard and fast rule.

this is my first entry in a dicussion page. But the part about the German spoken in the city sounds unnecessarily complicated. Could we not simply say that they speak Swiss German? This is the generic language spoken in all of Switzerland, no matter what the local variation is.
