[edit] Vandalism

It would be greatly appreciated if pupils were to stop vandalising the school's page. If you dislike attending MCS then leave don't inflict pain upon the wiki-viewing public with such poor attempts at what you might like to call "wit". Most boys are proud of MCS and have enjoyed their time there, you might try being respectful, there is no point biting the hand that feeds you. Please leave this page alone, if you really are so sad that you have nothing better to do than be an online vandal go and do it to another page, perhaps a rival of MCS though I think any vandalising is stupid and deems you wholly unworthy of attending MCS. Stop it, if you're caught the IT staff have decided that you'll get an instant referral/cause for comment. User:86.139.12.255 22:54, 10 December 2006

[edit] School Breaktimes

"the boys at MCS mostly play cricket in the tarmacced playground, using bins as stumps, although some have the option of playing in the ICT suites," Must be expensive. Presumably whoever wrote this was not educated at MCS 62.56.100.86 22:26, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

62.56.100.86, thanks for your comments - as Wikipedia is a collaborative project, feel free to help with articles - mistakes can always be reverted, so be bold! --Firetrap (talk • contribs) 23:05, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
I've made some changes to this based on my experiences as an Old Waynflete. See what you think. njan 18:37, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Changes look sound to me, thanks for putting time into the article, and in to cleaning up the talk page! --Firetrap (talk • contribs) 19:20, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
My pleasure. :) njan 20:19, 6 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Controversy

I removed the last half of the edit made on 15th Sept, as it was unsourced, and quite apart from being original research, is false to the best of my knowledge - feel free to provide a source if one exists however. The section I removed read as follows;

"Magdalen College School has tried to supress knowledge of Dr David Brunton's death for fear of being implicated as a reason for his suicide."

[edit] Kingball Removal

I reverted 62.136.66.67's edits, which had stripped the entire Kingball section from the article - if people think it should be removed I'd rather there was a discussion here beforehand, especially considering that no reason was given by 62.136.66.67.
