CWL, I am unsure about the copyrights, but here are the sources:

• YSGOL centre
• Music building
• Old coat of arms
• Sports hall

The Latymer school homepage is down at the moment, so I cannot provide the addresses for the the remaining images.Minglex 10:43, 2 April 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

There is no indication of copyright on the school's official site

wouldnt really take that as a source mate Mbthegreat 17:17, 7 April 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The section on Garbett reads: "This led to the annual Dolbé-Keats Bazaar charity event for the first time". Surely the strike lead to the cancelation of the bazaar for the first time. I tried to correct this, but it was changed back immediately. What's going on?

It got mixed up with vandalism; there shouldn't be a problem with changing it back nowMinglex 13:00, 4 June 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

could we make the beginning of the article a bit more awkward please, perhaps we could crowbar in 'bastion' as well as 'canon' somewher

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

The article states that about 18,000 pupils enter each year.

This is absurd - the school has 1400 students in total. What's the real number? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.149.203.91 (talk) 02:02, 6 November 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This year around 2,000 people entered the first round, and 500 made it to the second stage (numbers approx). I assume your source was out by a power of 10 Derekman99 (talk) 18:02, 11 March 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It seems that the school website have gone through an overhaul, therfore a lot of the reference links are dead and will be removed. They need to be replaced by the reference from the new school website at the same domain. --Ieatyou1 (talk) 16:12, 22 May 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Looks like much of this has been taken from the school's website, sometimes edited to make it make less sense.

Current version of the article has "Pupils were educated in "God's true religion" and reading English to the age of thirteen at existing petty schools. The boys had to wear the red Latymer cross on their sleeves and were under a duty to carry out the provisions of his will "unto the end of the world"."

The first sentence doesn't make sense, and I think the second half of the second sentence refers to the trustees rather than the pupils. In any case this seems to have been copied from the school's website, which has "In return for being educated to the age of thirteen at a "petty school" the boys had to wear the red Latymer cross on their sleeves. The trustees are under a duty to carry out the provisions of his will "unto the end of the world."". Tacyarg (talk) 20:00, 2 April 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

And none of that is encyclopedic content - sourced or unsourced, paraphrased or copy pasted. It's just a bunch of meaningless rhetoric. We publish facts, paraphrased from reliable secondary sources. Period. John from Idegon (talk) 20:30, 2 April 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
