• Prime Minister of Thailand Seni Pramoj [1]

edit ***

I think it is rather terrible that anyone has been trying to vandalise our old schools listing, Trent was an excellent school and will always continue to be. Please only leave positive comments. I met met many nice friends there including, David Tarquin Grange, Phil Large Clark and David Arthur Budden, Adam Arderdanmost Smith. By John Christie (Pupil)

I have added one reference, please add any more that can be found. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 18:33, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Albert Ball's association with Trent is detailed in Albert Ball, VC (Gillian Elias, 1993) . There're also several memorials to him at the school itself but I doubt that counts. --Niu 01:25, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism

Any chance of semi-protection on this page?

Ram4eva 07:51, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Visit Requests for Page Protection, where any user can request protection. Just follow the instructions at the top of the page, and an admin will take a look. —Krellis 15:27, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I went ahead and made the request after reverting yet another bit of vandalism, and the page has now been semi-protected by an admin. If you check out WP:RFPP within the next few hours you can see the Trent College entry as an example of how you can do this in the future. —Krellis 16:38, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for that, I didn't realise there was a formal way of requesting protection. Ram4eva 18:17, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

No problem, I'm glad to help out, and now you know about it for if you need it in the future. —Krellis 21:23, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Jonathan Lee

Contrary to the article, Jonathan Lee did not retire from his post as Headmaster until the summer of 2006. Is there any way that this can be corrected? Jonnymuir 14:48, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Founded by a puppeteer? Surely not

The page pointed to by the internal link to Francis Wright claims he is a British actor, puppeteer, and writer. Seeing as he isn't dead, why not invite him to Speech Day?

copyvio?

The first two paras of this article are identical with the opening comment on trentcollege.net. I don't know which site is original nor whether permissionis needed/was obtained, but since they read like a brochure anyway it may be as well to rewrite them. 178.96.113.125 (talk) 07:09, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Child Abuse Scandal

No mention of the child abuse scandal which came to attention in 1990, resulting in the dismissal of Mr Ling, Mr O'Gorman, Mr McGowan and Mr Anderson? Poor old Howard Lowe got buggered to hell and back. This isn't vandalism; it really happened. Four teachers were sacked and imprisoned, with Mr O'Gorman committing suicide in Leeds prison, and Mr Ling taking an absolute pasting from the 1st XV whilst on remand. Mr Maltby (previous headmaster) had covered up the goings on, which is why he had to resign and Me Lee became headmaster. Can someone with more info perhaps add to this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.31.231.195 (talk) 05:42, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

92.54.156.226

Hello 92.54.156.226 (talk · contribs). Your edit Trent College has been ideologically captured by the Church of Woke. Accordingly, when their Chaplain pointed out that people were still entitled to believe the truth (ie, that wokism is ideological nonsense), the College nonsensically reported him to the Government's Terrorist prevention scheme: Prevent. The police subsequently confirmed that this referral was totally without merit and that no action would be taken. is not sourced, and it is clearly an original research. Please do not add it to the article.

£300 cost of chapel?

Even taking inflation into account, can this figure be correct? 31.54.248.212 (talk) 18:54, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

• £300 in 1873 is equivalent to approximately £40,000 today. palmiped^Talk 19:06, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
