Mid	This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.
	Reasoning for assessment: Overall, the school has enough facts to become a B class. I've upgraded the quality scale to a B class, instead of the Start class. However, St. Paul's school shouldn't be rated a High Importance, and I've downgraded that to a Mid-level grade. If that at all.Nick2crosby (talk) 01:37, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sculpture in the chapel

I added a link to John Angel (sculptor) and a reference. Both have been removed. So that we are not unclear, here is another reference which specifies the work that was being mentioned. ^[1]

Put it back, put it somewhere else, or not as you will. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:12, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have no opinion as to whether a reference to the John Angel sculpture belongs in the article, but I am quite certain it does not belong in the caption of the photo of the New Chapel, which should be remain a very brief description of the associated photo. If others want to re-insert this reference somewhere more appropriate, I have no problem with that. Ebikeguy (talk) 17:19, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've offered you alternatives. I understand your POV on the caption. It is up to you and those other editors interested in this article. Which doesn't include me. I have proposed. You may dispose. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:30, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New lead section

I've changed the article's lead section a good deal and would like to hear others' thoughts - is there anything that's been overlooked in making these changes? Thanks. -Editchi (talk) 22:46, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As I stated clearly here months ago, I would be more than happy to hear thoughts and suggestions on the lead. For example, I think there needs to be a section included about controversies but I’m not exactly sure how much to include there. There is likely much more that can be improved which is why I would appreciate input here.

In regards to the edit in question - one of the main objectives with a lead is establishing the subject of the article’s notability early on. This school’s “eliteness” is perhaps the most notable thing about it - and more often than not in a negative connotation now. The concept of “elite” is referred to throughout the article, talking about the school’s original purpose, its student body, its social culture, and perhaps notably its perception as such in the context of current controversies.

More importantly, I have looked over the essay at WP:BOOSTER and have not noticed a direct example here. It is likely that I might have missed something so I would appreciate if any such case could be pointed out. For example, use of the word ‘selective’ here refers to the type of school and the relevant Wikipedia article is linked as such. -Editchi (talk) 16:44, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
