Unreferenced? What kind of references are you looking for? Most of this is personal knowledge. Perhaps you could direct us to a better example, please. Bearfoot 21:40, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Incase anyone was wondering, Eugenie attends Marlborough while Emma attends the Dragon School. It's been a year since those "allegations" were made, and so I used some handy google searches to fix that :). ugen64 01:45, Jun 18, 2004 (UTC)
Christ's Hospital claims the largest unsupported roof in Europe! Bearfoot 18:01, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
I note Wilson is claimed both by Marlborough and by Eton. His entry in Dictionary of National Biography only gives Eton. Does some one have a source to check his attendance at Marlborough? -- Op. Deo 23:02, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
You are right. Someone has changed the reference. It was FM Henry Hughes Wilson (1864-1922) who was the OM. Bearfoot 15:59, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
I am trying to add some info about Ian and Kevin Maxwell (nothing litigious) however it gets deleted. Why have there not been biographies of these two business men.
Can anyone help me Quickly!
Allan Mallison has a lot to say about Henry Wilson in his new book '1914 - Fight the Good Fight'. When speaking of Wilson's time at Marlborough he speaks of the school's history. Apparently in 1853 something caused a riot that lasted 4 days. It was known as the 'Marlborough Revolt', and was only put down by masters sent over from Rugby by Thomas Arnold. Should there not be something about this in the article? Shades of 'If'.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.25.46.76 ( talk) 13:38, 24 November 2013 (UTC) If the revolt occurred in 1853, then that was 11 years after Thomas Arnold had died. Someone else must have sent the faculty posse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.133.200.240 ( talk) 17:06, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
"The College reached its target of 500 boys by 1848, but conditions were extremely Spartan and, apart from their studies, the boys were relatively neglected. Resentment built up, culminating in November 1851 with the Marlborough “Rebellion”, as a result of which pupil numbers declined and the first Master of the College, Matthew Wilkinson, resigned. With the College now heavily in debt, its future was in jeopardy."
Discipline slowly but steadily gave way. After three years of smouldering discontent, of poaching, flogging, fighting, and fiercely repressed insubordination, all authority finally broke down, and upon November 5. 1851, the school broke out in the most turbulent and prolonged rebellion that has probably ever figured in modern times in the history of a large school. For an entire week anarchy enlivened by fireworks and bonfires reigned supreme. The rioting was at last quelled, more by concessions than strong measures. Expulsions and removals followed... [1]
— Preceding unsigned comment added by Pikabruce ( talk • contribs) 20:14, 27 September 2020 (UTC)At Marlborough College matters came to a head in 1851 when prior to Bonfire Night the headmaster M. Wilkinson warned that any pupil caught in possession of fireworks would be expelled. The pupils responded by advising him that he would have to expel the entire school and at 6pm on November 5th a rocket was launched signaling the beginning of a riot. Property was burned, the gatekeeper severely beaten and several teachers badly injured. Nursing their injuries they retreated, having decided to let the revolt see its course, which it did after four days. Wilkinson was forced to resign and was replaced...
I have removed a number of old Marlburians from the list because they were red-linked and many have been for months. If they were that notable, they should have had a wiki article by now. Dabbler 20:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
I agree with you that many of the names you removed were not especially notable. However others are considered notable enough to merit an entry in the DNB. Is the founder of Heals more notable than the founder of Debenhams? And I would certainly consider as notables: the man who has trained the winner of the Grand National, the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Champion Hurdle, an Olympic sailing gold-medalist, and two former chairmen of FTSE100 companies. Could they not be included without red-links? Bearfoot 17:27, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Why was Eugenie sent to this school? She was attending a day school. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.103.54.82 ( talk) 13:56, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
I have merged the Cotton House article with the full article because I don't think it should have a separate article. dottydotdot ( talk) 17:05, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
At this edit today, a new section on Marlborough slang (added by 86.146.37.153) was deleted. I feel it has some merit, and it even included a citation for the last point made. What do other people think about this? Moonraker2 ( talk) 06:35, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Contrary to the false impression given by the above statements the proposed change is not to use "alumni"; it is to rename the category Old Marlburians to Category:People educated at Marlborough College. Timrollpickering ( talk) 12:58, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
