School Reassessment

edit

I have reassessed the importance and moved the school from low to high. This is partly based on the alumni but is really based on the age. There must be many who are missing but you do have some older students like the Du Ponts. The article itself is not up to this standard. We need references, more topics and more pics. We can help.

NPOV

edit

I have removed the statement about PC being one of the most exclusive schools in the US and the "World". Even though I am the sister of a PC alum, I would say that might be a little bit of exaggeration, good though the school is. LJade728 22:54, 8 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

The article still reads like a school prospectus. Cyclopaedic (talk) 22:49, 6 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

J. Presper Eckert

edit

Electronic computer inventor J. Presper Eckert attended William Penn; should he be added to the list of alumni? Robert K S 21:07, 13 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Eckert was OPC '37, according to PC website. Received alumni award in 1991. Added as alum. Gavin.s 04:27, 29 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Notable alumni

edit

Should Dan Spink really be considered a "notable" performer? The most notable productions were listed as the American Pie films, where he was a bit player ("Boy with Monkey") and which, not incidentally, his brother's business partner produced. According to IMDB, most of his other credits are unnamed characters. If simply appearing on a movie screen or tv screen makes one "notable," I can think of many other PC alums who have done the same.216.194.0.20 03:40, 30 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Good call and I agree -- he's only done bit parts which have gone uncredited a good chunk of the time. If just being in movies was enough to be notable, there'd be an article for me on Wikipedia; and an article for pretty much everyone else. At the least there should probably be a distinct speaking role to separate the actors from the extras. --Bossi (talkgallerycontrib) 11:29, 30 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
