[edit] No sources!

Okay, the vandalism I understand. Students driving by and vandalising happens. However, someone has clearly put a lot of work into writing some of this, so they might appreciate a heads up. If someone doesn't start making this article attributable/verifiable by adding some reliable sources that assert notability, I'm going to slash and burn! Sorry for the jargon, but basically, we need some published source other than the school itself to say some things about the school, then we can say what they say! (but in our own words) Good luck!

... nine months later, and there is nary a source. I just added a banner at the top, and numerous citation tags in the article at the most critical places where a citation is likely needed, as a guide to would be editors. I can't believe that a school approaching its 400th anniversary, and with academic credentials claimed as it is would not have a multitude of sources. I have no doubt that this can be a great article about what appears to be a great school! I hope someone will add some rather soon, because otherwise as Skittle suggested, the chainsaw may need to be taken to this article. LonelyBeacon (talk) 16:34, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

When will wikipedia editors realise that "notoriety" is more than what they can find in google?! Many sources exist, but guess what - statues, books, ancient carvings and stained glass windows can not be searched with google. Feel free to go and read the inscriptions on the actual physical items themselves because google sure as hell wont ever get to index them. I have added a source from the BBC (which took 5 seconds to find in google incidentally...) to satisfy your questionable insistence that everything must have some mention on the internet to be considered credible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.166.160 (talk) 20:15, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The continued writing of balls

needs to be fixed, i dont know what was written before. so someone who does- can you fix it please.

HEY! Stop removing my Trivia section! I put it there first, and as I student I feel entitled to do so. It has since been added to by other pupils of the school. All of the information contained is true, but as the section name suggests, may seem a little trivial to you non-owenians. Leave it there, it's not false, and it's not affecting you. Go and edit a page on Paint Drying Championships, as you seem to be such an expert on so many other topics.
(By the way, the italics means I was being sarcastic.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by JTR2000 (talk • contribs) 17:14, August 29, 2007 (UTC)
