Update page[edit]

Hello

I would like to update Whitgift School's wikipedia page. There are a number of facts and figures that are incorrect and the page generally needs updating. I am new to Wikipedia but can see the page is semi-protected. Is there a way to unlock it so that the necessary changes can be made? If not, what are my other options? I have an updated draft ready. Whitgiftian (talk) 07:49, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What changes are you requesting be made? Primefac (talk) 20:54, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. Some or all of the changes may be promotional in tone.

The entire page needs work, but as a starting point please see below revised version of the introduction which incorrectly states that the School has 'limited boarding'. 'Whitgift School is an independent day and boarding school for boys situated in South Croydon, London. It was founded in 1596 by John Whitgift, Archbishop of Canterbury together with a hospital (alms-house) to provide for ‘poor, needy and impotent people’ of the parishes of Croydon and Lambeth. The greatly expanded charitable foundation known as John Whitgift Foundation now runs care homes in Croydon, including the founder’s original Tudor Hospital, and three schools’: Whitgift, Trinity School of John Whitgift (a boys’ school with a co-ed sixth form) and Old Palace School of John Whitgift (a girls’ school acquired by the Foundation in 1993).'

I believe the above is a clear, factual and accurate description of the School.

Thanks. Whitgiftian (talk) 19:01, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there Whitgiftian. This edit request is

Declined because I find this revised version for the lead to be slightly/leaning promotional.

If you haven't done so, I highly recommend you read the COI guidelines or its simple version. Thanks!

Former teacher[edit]

https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1791439/whitgift-school-paul-dodd-child-abuse

Please can the page be updated to show that Paul Dodd, a History and PE teacher at Whitgift in the 1980s, pleaded guilty on 14th July 2023 to sexually assaulting boys as young as 10 at the school. He was fired, and placed on the List 99 watchlist (for those deemed unsuitable to teach children), but the then headmaster, David Raeburn, gave Dodd a 'glowing reference' when he emigrated to New Zealand shortly afterwards, enabling him to continue teaching children.
