Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did to Category:Democratic, Sudbury model, and free schools. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalized, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. ^blurred_peace ☮ 09:11, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Further to the above, I've also seen your discussion points on the Talk:Free school page. The "D, SM & FS" category does feel clumsily named but I suggest it is best pursuing this through the WP:CFD process? AllyD (talk) 11:15, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Rowen House School

Hi I notice you moved the article Rowen House School out of my sandbox into the main Wikipedia. I don't particularly mind. It had been put there for Bryn Purdy to comment and possibly add to it and I hadn't realised how the time had gone by. I was wondering however - do you have a particular reason for your interest?

Sudbury model

Maguire09, would you please undo your merge of Sudbury model with the List of Sudbury schools? The Sudbury model article explained the ideas and history of this type of school. That's a very different topic than a list of schools that follow that model. Thanks. —Ben Kovitz (talk) 23:31, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your thoughtful response about Sudbury model, Maguide09! I thought there was one major difference between Sudbury schools and other democratic schools, plus some minor ones. I could be wrong. I'll do some digging. —Ben Kovitz (talk) 17:55, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
