This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it (including schools) may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus. |
The following was added to the article today by 207.200.116.70. Since it's personal opinion at best and original research at worst, it can't go in the article. But if someone wants to isolate and chase down the facts and add them to the article with supporting citations, go for it! RossPatterson 23:39, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
I understand that parents, administrators and students of Nest+m are passionate about their school, and that there are partisans for and against the founder.
However, this article as it stood violated a remarkable number of Wikipedia policies and guidelines. It was written in a highly partisan and non-encyclopedic tone. A very large number of subjective, unquantifiable statements have been tagged for months as lacking source citations, and were clearly original research, which is disallowed. At least one sentence ("Following further investigation many of the administrators of Nest were either fired or demoted, because they were not qualified to do their jobs") gives a citation ( New Explorations Into Science, Technology and Math (NEST+M)) at which there is nothing that relates to it.
Speaking as a 3 1/2-year editor of Wikipedia, I would ask that anyone doing further edits please read the Five Pillars of Wikipedia and adhere to Wikipedia policies and guidelines, particularly those that involve neutral point of view, verification by reliable sources, and no original research or soapboxing. Please note that the Wikipedia policy on self-published sources precludes partisan, privately published newsletters such as "Save the Nest".
Additionally, please note that Wikipedia policy regarding talk pages is that they be used for discussion of article improvement only, and not as a general forum for discussing the topic — hence, the removal of three inappropriate unsigned posts here.
Please look to the Stuyvesant High School article for an example of a NYC public school article done to the Featured Article standard. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 15:31, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
While doing revisions, someone should do a better job of putting in a physical street address. I just added it, but I'm not sure if what I did is in the correct format. But better some info than none. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.21.179.235 ( talk) 05:38, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
