refs?Victuallers 19:28, 24 March 2007 (UTC) Reassess - lots of information but poor structure and needs wikifying - readers want to know where this school is, who is taught... all in the opening section. Welcome Victuallers 19:31, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The talk about the Jubilee School

Neutral Point of View Disputed

From my reading to this article, I have found the article to be more of an advertisement to the school. It showcases the pro's in the school, and states its "goals" in a certain way to promote the school and increase its publicity. Eshcorp 21:17, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly, from the school's official website, which tends to be an advertisement itself. About being one of the "best known", this doesn't justify anything. The article isn't neutral. And just because people know it doesn't mean that all people like it, or want to go to it. Besides, take Microsoft for example, a very well known corporation, much more well-known than than this school but still it maintains a neutral point of view! Eshcorp 19:24, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article is ridiculous; calling it an advertisement is quite suitable in my opinion. BTW, I graduated from the JS in 2000! And no I did not have a bad experience there; I'm just being objective. Also, regarding "one of the best known schools in Jordan" comment, I wouldn't be too sure of that. It is surely THE best in terms of how good the students are (consistently achieving best Tawjihi results) but that is due to the fact that the students are accepted based on an entrance exam, so that is not a surprise. To claim that a student would not get as good an education in a different school is a dubious claim at best. User:ozaidan

Fair use rationale for Image:Jubilee school.gif

Image:Jubilee school.gif is being used on this article. 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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (I did this page for my school, and I was objective and informative. I actually tried to imitate another wiki page about a school so I don't understand why it's considered promotional.) --Jubileeschool (talk) 20:13, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jubilee school isn't promotional

Please understand that I did this page for my school. Jubilee school is a non-for profit school, so it doesn't really matter to promote it or not. It also doesn't accept any students who don't have high IQs among the country, and those students pay almost nothing. I have made this page so that people know about this page and learn about it and what it has to give as it has more information than what's in the website. Jubilee school is an institute so it's neither a private nor a governmental school. It's an institute and an initiative by Queen Nour of Jordan. It is one of the best schools in Jordan, like another one called Kings academy which is also for gifted students only. Jubileeschool (talk • contribs) 20:19, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you mustn't use clearly promotional phrases like: balanced program, differs in ways extending students' knowledge, asmitted for intelligence, sophisticated theatre, fufils special needs, graduates rank high in the national exam scores for secondary schools, etc. Only possible way of adding such phrases is by giving references, like rank table so we could see the graduates rank high for real, explain how it differs so it extends knowledge. Either do it good, or not at all. I'm sorry I can't help since I know nothing about school. Admin said all on history page. I fully support you in updating this article's content. 109.92.219.199 (talk) 20:23, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much, I can see now why it sounds promotional. I will change some phrases and add citations to claims. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jubileeschool (talk • contribs) 12:02, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Queen Rania and non-Muslims?

What are the possibilities of me meeting Queen Rania if I attend the institute (not kidding)? What about non-Muslims? 109.92.219.199 (talk) 20:32, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Very low, I have been here for 4 years and I never ever heard that Queen Rania visited the school. Only Queen Nour, Prince Hamza, and Princess Sumayya visit the school on special occasions, like Tree day, graduation day, and huge ceremonies. But, if you want to meet queen Rania or King Abdullah then maybe you should attend Kings academy, it's somehow similar to Jubilee school but with some differences. the king and the queen visit kings academy on the graduation day. Oh and the religion doesn't matter.

someone deleted the extracurricular activities

Can someone please help me on how to write the extracurricular activities section in a way that doesn't look like promotion? I mean there are a lot of wiki articles about schools and they write their extracurricular activities in the wiki page, i can't understand why don't you go bother them.. All I did in this article is imitate what another article called 'The city of london school'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jubileeschool (talk • contribs) 12:21, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to help you by re-writing what you've already written. You should try to make sentences direct and sections short. Check at 16:00 UTC (19:00 in Jordan) or earlier. Always sign your comments with four tildes (4x~). They are present below comment place. Go from 'Insert' to 'Wiki markup' and click on them (left to 'ref', right to '§') 77.46.182.116 (talk) 14:53, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did it, an hour earlier. What do you think? Plus, you may want to translate this article to Arabic Wikipedia. 77.46.182.116 (talk) 15:03, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much, I guess that looks better and hopefully causes less trouble. Someone also asked me to change my username so that it doesn't look promotional as well. I will try to translate it into arabic as well.--Jubileeschool (talk) 18:35, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
