While I agree that the old version of the page was bad, what the replacement with had *no* references and looked like it was written by the school's PR office. I have reverted it, I'd like work with you to create a properly referenced page with a Neutral Point of View. Naraht ( talk) 16:01, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
I am authorized to update this page as a member of the school's administration. The page offers extensive external and internal (wiki) links to neutral websites, and uses an objective tone of voice. Please clarify how you are affiliated with the Waldorf School of Baltimore before making judgement calls about the information provided, and/or attempting to block any page improvements.— Preceding unsigned comment added by SVHwikieditor ( talk • contribs) 16:22, July 19, 2017 (UTC)
Hi Randolph Finder, if you feel compelled enough to oversee the information listed on an elementary school's page in Baltimore, Maryland, please feel free to bring in a 3rd party. I would prefer that versus you repeatedly undoing the factual edits that needed to be made to bring the page up-to-date. As you have stated yourself, that last page was "bad", but you're against this one because it lacks "external references" (???). This had proven to be untrue, as stated in my previous comment. Please clarify why this page means so very much to you, as for you to watch each update and pass judgement.— Preceding

Thank you for the suggestion Randolph, I have submitted the page for 3rd party review. Have a good rest of your day.— Preceding unsigned comment added by SVHwikieditor ( talk • contribs) 17:51, July 19, 2017 (UTC)
As I indicated, Conflict of Interest is the primary issue. Please see WP:COI and understand that that is a primary policy of the board. Waldorf School of Baltimore doesn't own or control the page about Waldorf School of Baltimore at all. Until you understand that, I don't think you will have any luck making any permanent changes to the page. Naraht ( talk) 18:15, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi Randolph Finder, this is the first time you've provided any feedback worth using. Your exact words were -- "old was bad, new isn't much better" - this was neither constructive or helpful, and the page was reset by me without hesitation. It has taken multiple messages to get around to the fact you balked at the the way "Johns Hopkins" was/is spelled, which can obviously fixed very easily and doesn't require resetting the page back to it's "bad" prior listing. Correct? While I have you, please note almost all Wiki pages have some from of "conflict of interest" with internal folks (who actually care about what is being posted about their organization) monitoring and editing content. What you deem "subjective" is subjective at best. Please feel free to submit the page to 3rd party view, as you are clearly overly invested in fighting some imaginary "good fight" with me about an elementary school's page. Also, DO NOT attempt to contact our offices again, as this crosses way too many boundaries. I no idea idea what would complete you to take this that far. I look forward to the 3rd party's feedback.— Preceding unsigned comment added by SVHwikieditor ( talk • contribs) 19:08, July 19, 2017 (UTC)
