This appears more as an advertisement of the school than an accurate source of information about it. This is an encyclopaedia at the end of the day and most of the points made here are a matter of opinion and lack any points regarding the negative side of the school, which makes a very unbalanced article which interferes with the factual content of this article. I would suggest that all comments based on opinion such as 'impressive editing suites' be amended and other points on both sides be added. Adding 'impressive' in front of editing suites does nothing for the factual content but simply makes the school sound better. They mention how impressive parts of the school are but fail to regard the disrepair other parts are in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.66.108.150 (talk) 20:36, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed I much agree, the article had been thusly trimmed and I post a reminder here to all, please reference anything you write. I do think someone should comb over the list of notable pupils though, just to make sure. 90.207.203.172 (talk) 20:40, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

why does every time i add informtion about this is it deleted as vandalism, and how to i quote sources? these are newspaprre articles retrieved using lexisnexis? — Preceding unsigned comment added by User:82.34.171.9 (talk)

If you have newspaper articles, please list them, with online references if possible. See WP:CITE for inofrmation on the usual way of presenting the references, and why they are important. Also read Wikipedia:Verifiability. Thankyou for your contribution. It will not be removed if it has proper references, but you will understand that the text looks like it could be childish vandalism if it is not cited and verifiable. --Scott Davis ^Talk 05:05, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This did indeed happen, I was there at the time. I have included one reference, but there are definitely more from the Kent Messenger which I will try to find later.

Why do these revisions continue to be removed even with media references? This DID happen and HAS been referenced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.68.85.246 (talk) 17:05, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello all, I believe that the combined cadet force section is in a state where the template messages referring to the lack of sources and academic boosterism are no longer needed. I have removed the template message for lack of sources already. However I wanted to put this in the articles talk section to see if anyone thought otherwise before removing the academic boosterism message. Any objections?
