[edit] Cover-up
how do you cover something up by sending a letter out to lots of folk? --Ajvphilp 17:32, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. I removed the sentence. I'm not sure the whole episode should be included; it seems a rather minor thing in the whole history of the school, but it is fairly recent. Anyway, I left one sentence mentioning it and I added a reference. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 05:59, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] schools assess
impressive list of alumni and old school for Scotland. Hope you the authors don't mind the intrusion of this assessment but I saw that you were working on it. Looks fine. More advice if required. Remember wiki loves refs Victuallers 18:34, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Notable alumni
[edit] Blair Mowat
I'm working on cleaning up the remaining red links in the Notable_alumni section when I came to this entry:
- Blair Mowat, television screenwriter and presenter of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy
I can't find any evidence this is accurate:
- A google search found only this article
- The IMDB full credits don't list Blair Mowat at all, let alone as a writer or 'presenter'
I'm going to delete the entry. If someone can find a proper citation, please revert the deletion (contained in one, stand-alone edit), but please add a citation. I'm wondering of this entry is a result of original research, a mistake, or if I'm somehow missing something.

- I suspect this is nothing more than a bit of vandalism, given the claimed role... Shimgray | talk | 00:57, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Professor Sir Abraham Goldberg
I replaced the red link with an external link to his FRSE obituary. The distinguised gentleman is quite notable, and most desrving of a Wiki article. Perhaps an alumnus can create at least a stub? There are a number of articles that red link to Professor Sir Abraham Goldberg.
I'll note that I could create one by reading and synthesising the voluminous information available, but it is not at the top of my list of Wiki article to create.
