[edit] Unsourced references
I added a reference to the sucking of Peter Brooks in 1993 but this was removed due to their being "no references". Whilst agree that there are no web-based references, the college clearly have record of this. I named the head and deputy head teachers at the time. I have not added this do "discredit" the college - it is quite simply a matter which occured when I was a student. It is therefair of the college to insist on removing them.
I've edited the article after investigating the references given. Many of the references only refer to the incidents they are supposedly supporting in very broad and general terms, and do nothing more than confirm that an event took place - much of this seems to be one persons malicious take on events, twisting the reports to discredit the College (most evidently the claims of unfair student selection methods, where no charges were brought, and the investigating body merely advised minor changes to a fundamentally sound selection process). Also, reference to the 'Hockerill Observer' is null and void, since no such publication exists - I've investigated it's existence, and appears to be entirely a figment of the original posters imagination. I'll continue my enquires, and continue to monitor this page. Thanks Rooney the waster (talk) 09:07, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
The Hockerill article is burdened with unsourced statements. I think that everything is true but Wikipedia needs proper sources. If anybody knows any, please edit the article. Thank you, --Mensuur 14:14, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
This article is currently being reviewed by staff here at the College, in particular the slanderous comments assigning blame for the missing Rwandans to Mr Ullmann. Hockerill Anglo-European College 08:13, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
The article doesnt, nor ever has implied that Mr Ullmann in any way, shape or form, aided the Rwandans to escape or wanted this to happen. It merely states that as head of the department, he is ultimatley responsible for these children's whereabouts.
[edit] Assess
This article needs more content and a few references to qualify for a B. History? Alumni? etc. Dahliarose 17:02, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
The history of the school can be seen on display around the campus, particularly in the chapel where there is a small display of material. Despite requests, the school have refused to release copies of this material onto the web and cannot be sourced. Contact Dr Worsnop, assistant principal, who has compiled a book on the school. Despite it being biased and ridiculed by the students (!) it's very interesting and contains sourced information regarding the history of the school.
[edit] Advertising
There is much more that can be added to this article regarding the history of this establishment and this article currently seems to serve as an advert!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.208.10.232 (talk) 09:13, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
I agree that Hockerill has tried, in the past, to make their wikipedia page an advert, but thanks to clean up by moderators and concerned observers, the article is probably acceptable. HOWEVER: small sentences such as "As a result of the inspirational work of Paul Foulkes, Director of Music, the school has been able to blossom in this area." Im not familiar with the finer points of wikipedia's standards, but i would like to know how this vocabulary could be considered fit for an encyclopedia.
[edit] Continued advertising
Hockerill need to tone down their "advert". I am going to adjust. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacobsdad (talk • contribs) 00:39, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
