[edit] Erin Burnett

Only place I can find Erin Burnett listed for this school is a fan page link on the internet. [this] says it was the St. Andrews in MD. Unless verification can happen on this, I am removing her from notable alumniSpryde 15:46, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

I haven't checked school yearbooks yet, but the only SASs in Maryland are in Potomac and Edgewater, both on the other side of the bay. Neither is boarding. One way or the other the fan page appears to be in error. Mangoe 17:32, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Look... i am a recent graduate of St. Andrew's school (2007) and also a photographer. Erin Burnett is a proud graduate of SAS, and she will be featured in the fall magazine. I personally went with one of my former teacher to interview her on floor of the stock market (I am a photographer). The yearbooks are avalible online... at www.standrews-de.org —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.64.145.234 (talk) 22:30, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Ah-- in the past the yearbooks have sometimes been behind the alumni firewall (and I can never remember my login there). I've checked and made the appropriate updates. Mangoe 23:11, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

--Yep; I was in Erin's class at SAS, and can confirm her existence, from 1991-1994, there. I didn't know she was on this show, but checked her picture and it's her! Good job Erin! -- andrew mahlstedt, SAS '94 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amahlstedt (talk • contribs) 01:33, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

I feel as though much of this reads like an advertisement for the school, and is not in an encyclopaedic tone. For example:

• The St. Andrew's honor code is the source of much of the trust between the faculty and students
• They also offer financial assistance to upper income families, so they get the full range of family economic situations, not just the dumb bell effect of just rich and poor
• It is a bright, positive, inclusive nurturing environment.
• The school cultivates in its students a deep and lasting desire for learning

I hope this illustrates my point. Sorry that it took a day to post this on the talk page, it's been a long weekend :) Jellocube27 16:30, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, yeah. I haven't been watching the text so much of late, but you're right. I'll go after it this week. Mangoe 22:02, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

I have updated the page. Its neutrality should be satisfactory. 162.84.232.206 (talk) 19:53, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

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

Image:Standrewsseal.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.
