Is it "The Peddie School" or just "Peddie School"? Would someone please look this up.
It is just "Peddie School" - they dropped the "The" shortly after adopting the new logo.
The above comment was true as of the redesign that took place in the 2000s, however the original name of "The Peddie School" was restored with the visual identity overhaul of 2019. Can this article be renamed (moved) to The Peddie School? I don't have the credentials to do it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TurboTruth ( talk • contribs) 14:44, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
Dear Wikipedia user,
The school's name was recently changed.
The official name is now Peddie School.
Not only is "plus post-graduate" flawed grammatically, and a dangling modifier, but in this case it is especially confusing. "Post-graduate" usually means "beyond college" (for students who have bachelors' degrees), but in this context it might be intended to mean "beyond the twelfth grade." Does that mean "for students who have graduated from Peddie"? "For students (in any grade) who seek advanced placement in college"? Help, help, please! Unfree ( talk) 08:44, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
In accordance to my understanding of Wikipedia's Copyright Infringement Policy, I have deleted large amounts of text from this article which are posted on the school's website, www.peddie.org. Affected sections are:
Introductory section ( http://www.peddie.org/podium/default.aspx?t=16392) Academics ( http://www.peddie.org/life/academics/courses.asp) Athletics ( http://www.peddie.org/life/athletics/philosophy.asp)
Note: These additions all seem to have been made from one IP address (71.172.194.44) which traces to Englewood, NJ, approximately six miles away from Peddie School. Thus, it may perhaps be worthy to note that these changes were possibly, if not likely, made by someone affiliated with the school.

In this RfC there was a consensus discussion about the use of any variation od "religion: none" in article infoboxes.
Please read past the RfC title; that was the original question, but during the RfC the additional question
was asked, and the answer was
Note the "in any article". User:Alansohn appears to have only read the RfC title and missed the fact that it applies to any artice. [1]
There was a very long discussion during the RfC, and a related discussion at Template talk:Infobox country#RfC: Religion in infoboxes of nations. In both cases, the overwhelming consensus was leave the parameter blank if the subject doesn't identify with a specific religion, with 65 support comments.
The Wikipedia community had ample opportunity (in the "other" section") to decide that the parameter should not be left blank if sourced or to decide that the parameter should not be left blank if the institution had a religion sometime in the past. The decision was clear: "Leave the parameter blank if the subject doesn't identify with a specific religion." The RfC did not list any exceptions. Anyone who feels that there should be an exception should post an RfC and see if the community agrees -- which is extremely unlikely, because there is no religion named "none", and according to the rules for filling out infoboxes we don't list "none" in any other infobox entries (children, spouse, college degree, etc.).
On a related note, I made an error. I normally limit myself to two reverts, and in this case I made three because I failed to check the edit history. This is still under the "no more than three reverts in any 24 hour period" rule, but I personally prefer to stop at two. I apologize for this error. Sorry about that. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 16:18, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
