6-pack?[edit]

The 'six-pack' reference seems like a slang term not appropriate in that context. If someone could clarify whether or not it is appropriate, that'd be great. -- Supercraft99

"History"?[edit]

Can someone please re-do the "History" section of this article? It sounds like it was directly copied from the main West Point Grey website. 154.20.188.74 00:01, 5 November 2006 (UTC)Requiem[reply]

(this has since been done...it's no longer a school advertisement but actually fact-oriented. good suggestion) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rehvan77 (talk • contribs) 01:58, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bias?[edit]

This article is obviously written and maintained by West Point Grey Academy staff. Perhaps a rewrite from an objective party would help the article's legitimacy. Jkl449 11:17, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I totally agree with this, but I don't know what to nominate this page for or how to do that

Ratings assignment notes[edit]

I have updated the Canada project tag today, and in so doing I assigned the following ratings:

Importance= Low, which is standard for an individual school
Class= Start. The article is well beyond the 'stub' stage but needs referencing and expansion before it could be considered 'B' class.

I used the same ratings for the Vancouver project tag. PKT (talk) 18:36, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Wpga homelogo.gif[edit]

Image:Wpga homelogo.gif 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Sources[edit]

Where are all the sources for all these achievements and trips? Could someone cite a news article which could verify all this information

This page has 10 sections and two sources, one of which is inaccessible! Considering all the accolades the school has received you would think there would be more references.

Exam Scandal[edit]

Between one version with a malformatted and broken ref and an unreferenced one, I've removed the whole section. Feel free to re-enter based on reliable sources.--Tikiwont (talk) 10:26, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If the incident has actually considered media attention, it shoudl be possible to write a sourced NPOV version. Otherwise it hsould stay out. --Tikiwont (talk) 10:39, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, this section is being messed with by too many people who don't know what they're talking about.

Let's just delete it. 128.125.208.133 (talk) 10:52, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I didn't want to mess with it. I handled a vandalism report earlier, found that the previous version was unsourced either. Lately i just tried to fix the position of the ref but between the many edits and slow updates there was some confusion. Are there any other sources than the Sun which you seem to deem inaccurate?--Tikiwont (talk) 11:02, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your efforts to maintain the accuracy of Wikipedia and this article. While I know firsthand that much of the information in the Sun article is inaccurate/misleading, I don't have other sources to cite. There were only a couple of articles written about the incident, and most of the sources for those articles (including the one from the Sun) were students that the reporters were able to talk to on the playground at the school, most of whom had little accurate knowledge of what was going on. 128.125.208.133 (talk) 11:08, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I see where you coming form. Mots of the Sun article is sourced to the headmaster who refused to comment on the claim, how they entered the systems which is indeed only sourced to 'students'. But I think there are wordings that can take care of this. --Tikiwont (talk) 11:17, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As you have meanwhile discovered yourself..--Tikiwont (talk) 11:23, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

School Colours Are Wrong![edit]

I go to the school and our school colours are NOT green and grey. Our school colours are gren, navy blue, and black. Grey is not part of the colours. Yellow may or may not be one of the school colours, same goes for the colour white. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.116.98.205 (talk) 00:29, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Team name[edit]

Multiple attempts have been made to change the long-standing team name form "Grey wolves" to "Wolves". The only mentions of the team name I can find on the school's website refer to "grey wolves". See the athletic logo here https://www.wpga.ca/page/jk---12-overviews/athletics for example. Please provide a reliable source if the school team name is just "wolves" Meters (talk) 22:55, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
