Truro School

My apologies on being so brusque. I figured out what the situation is. The issue I had was you gave ages that overlapped. Houses and ages have been reassigned. The current state of the boarding section: Truro School#Boarding

Your edit:

Trennick – Senior boys (ages 15-18)
Pentreve – Junior boys (ages 11–15)
Malvern – Senior Girls (ages 15–18)
Poltisco – Junior Girls (ages 11–14)

Note that ages on Junior boys and Senior boys overlap? I looked up the ages on page 18 of "Truro School New Pupil Handbook 2018-19" (PDF). and found this:

Malvern – Senior girls, Sixth form,^[1]^{: pg 24} ages 16–18
Pentreve – Junior girls, first–fifth year, ages 11–15
Poltisco – Junior boys, first–third year, ages 11–13
Trennick – Senior boys, fourth–fifth year, and Sixth form, ages 14–18

The junior boys' and girls' houses, Pentreve and Poltisco, were swapped and the age assignments have changed. You had only change the ages for Junior boys, which I thought strange that the Senior boys' age range had not changed. If this is in error, please let me know?

Next time you get reverted, please start a discussion? The process is called wp:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. It's fairly easy. Just go to the article's talk page, in this case talk:Truro School, click on the "New section" tab and make your points. You need to reference a wp:reliable source as Wikipedia goes by what those say, not what you or I think. I added a link to the two new handbooks that I found on the school's website. You can always ask at the wp:teahouse or wp:help desk to fix something you found in error and don't know how to. wp:Cooperation, and not wp:edit warring is the key to a pleasant editing experience. Best of luck at your school! Jim1138 (talk) 21:01, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
