Assessment: Hello all, and thank you for contributing to this school article. I'm part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools/Assessment team, and I'm reviewing this page. I'm currently giving it a grade of Start on the Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale and an importance of Mid on this importance scale. For information on improving this article, please visit the WikiProject Schools Project Page. My reasoning is as follows: more history, pics and more refs required to make this a B standard. It is noted that work is in progress. Well done. Victuallers 14:43, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notable alumni

I have removed the section on notable alumni because none of them appear to be notable. Doing a quick google search, none of the entries returned results that would validate their addition to the article. I would argue that having exceptional skills at basketball and having outstanding athletic abilities, for example do not qualify for notablility. - Akamad 23:54, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I have removed another section on notable alumni which is largely false and/or does not appear to be name specific.

Notable Alumni of the school include Thomas W. Simons, Jr. (Former US Ambassador, Professor at Brown, Cornell and Harvard); Benazir Bhutto ( former Prime Minister of Pakistan); Shahzada Mustafa Ahmad Saddozai (Founded the Crocodile Attention Syndrome), Hamza Usman Sadiq (Founder of Comic Collectors Pakistan; CCP), Ahsan Amjad (Best Debater), Kamila Shamsie (author), Jenna Jameson (Adult industry mogul), Jesus Christ (religious fanatic); Waheed Murad (silver screen idol); Raisa Mobin; Sarah Shazad (CEO of the Rabea Tariq make-a-wish foundation) Chishty Mujahid (Cricket Commentator); Pervez Hoodbhoy (Educator andPolitical commentator; Rabea Tariq (Originator of the J.Butterfly within the education system); Raja Khan Taimur (Created the vaccine for the Dengue virus under the ICFT) and innumerable luminaries in the fields of politics (ministers, advisors, members of parliament), business (CEOs, Entrepreneurs, executives), academia (professors, Deans, Chancellors, teachers), Arts (performers, artists), and any other profession imaginable.

In addition, I have also removed the following statement, which does not appear to be from an authentic source.

The school's reputation and its agenda of indoctrinating its alumni with a craving for success and prominence is evident within the socio-economic landscape of Pakistan. The cultural and social elite of Pakistan are dominated by the "old money" (purana paisa) Grammarians

[edit] Registering at KGS websites

I am an alumni that has just returned from the U.S after 26 years. I have been trying to access both the alummni website and the KGS official website but to no avail. They are either down or non-existent. Could some one please guide me as to how to go about registering myself and accessing upcoming events I may attend. Thank-you very much.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Kgslogo.jpg

Image:Kgslogo.jpg 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.
