Orphaned references in Purnell School

edit

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Purnell School's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "NCES":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 19:17, 24 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Editorial Deletions

edit

Several years ago, an editor/administrator (who shall remain nameless) made changes (deletions) to the article without much thought given to the 2-5-minutes of thought that their erasure might have applied. It was an entirely disruptive edit. More than half of the article was abjectly deleted (without any reconstruction) which, in its current format, leaves most of what is left, incomprehensible and entirely out of context. If someone has the time to fix the damage by reading what existed prior to 2012, with, of course, some brevity, (to avoid the outrage and revenge of the returning administrator/editor) the uniqueness of the subject may be able to be restored. But to do so, would require some time given to how more succinctly describe the history of the school's origin, without the extensive wording that was originally given the article. It is a unique secondary school, and it was designed to be that way, so a reconstructed explanation of its uniqueness is valid in Wikipedia; although now, in the article's current condition, that would be very difficult to discern.
