Improvements[edit]

Hi all

I'm Head of Physics at the College and will be working with the College Staff to make this page far better. Watch this space! Adrian Baker 17:16, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a lot more detail about the college and expanded the list of old stortfordians. I don't have all the OS dates yet, but will add more detail when I can Adrian Baker 22:38, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Famous old stortfordians[edit]

suggest Robert Kirby is added--Profstandwellback (talk) 15:48, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... looking at the report, it seems to be a case "where free-content edits overlie the infringement, or where there is only partial infringement or close paraphrasing" and so is a candidate for Wikipedia:Copyright problems rather than Speedy. I would also note that much of the problematic text has been in this article since 2008, and it is quite possible that the College website copied us.

Google search[edit]

The following are from the first few pages of a Google search for "Bishop's Stortford College History" - [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]

These may help to recover some of the early history that was deleted in November owing to being unsourced. Tony Holkham (Talk) 15:10, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The principal source for the school's early history is Bishop's Stortford College 1868-1968: A Centenary Chronicle, by John Morley & Norman Monk-Jones, JM Dent & Sons, London, 1969, ISBN 460 04801 5. The fact that the article consists of PR witter about events since last Tuesday is a bit sad. Khamba Tendal (talk) 19:55, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
