Concerns
editThe article currently reads like a detailed memoir or essay. It has no references and is potentially presented from a single, subjective POV. A major contributor to the article was also closely involved in the events discussed. Keri (talk) 15:02, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
Correct. I am one of the students cited in the summons shown on the page. Most of the entries derive from the Times Archive. The others are from personal recollections, notes published by a number of students, and an Australian source. I have circulated the page to all the former students I can trace as well as the Surrey County Council member named with an express request to either modify the page directly or to advise me such that I can modify it. None has yet done so. A BBC Education programme on Guildford School of Art to which I contributed will be aired towards the end of October 2014. I will add the link to this and this may prompts further contributions.
An attempt by Mrs Bernard Brett to rescue her husband's reputation was added a few years ago and then removed (not by me). It referred to one of the students who much appreciated Bernard Brett. This person painted motor racing cars.
I will add what links I can find. PeterFV (talk) 15:26, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
The use of multiple headings has the advantage of articulating the event in temporal terms as well as rendering it more digestible.PeterFV (talk) 23:11, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
Extremely poor quality page
editThis page is an embarrassment to Wikipedia. It is supposed to be about an art school, but it doesn't even have basic information like when it was founded, who founded it, what subjects it taught, how many students it had, etc. If that sort of info is added it should, of course, be sourced and cited with sound references. Most of the page is unsourced POV about a student protest, so badly written it is difficult to follow what it is going on about. It seems to have been like this for quite a number of years with no real improvement.94.139.1.109 (talk) 07:52, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
Updating and adding refernces
editThis is a fascinating story and I am keen to help develop the article about it to align with Wikipedia's style. I have found a large number of number of verifiable references which, over time, I will insert into the text. Noracrentiss (talk) 22:03, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
