Neutrality, Style and Citations

Have looked at this article and in my opinion neutrality is not in question. It certainly does not deserve a tag. In comparison to other NI school articles on wiki, it is a fairly standard stub/start type article. I have done a minor tidy up and inserted a couple of citation requests. I would be interested in what in real terms you consider breaches the NPOV requirements? Unless you can come up with more tangible reasons for the NPOV dispute tag, other than I hate hockey and all the players, I would propose that the tag is removed. Below is a autopeer review generated by javascript. It picks up on weasel words when they are present, so this criteria seems to be cleared at present.

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.

Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.^[?]
Consider removing links that add little to the article or that have been repeated in close proximity to other links to the same article, as per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links) and WP:CONTEXT.^[?]
Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.^[?]
This article is a bit too short, and therefore may not be as comprehensive as WP:WIAFA critera 1(b) is looking for. Please see if anything can be expanded upon.^[?]
This article needs footnotes, preferably in the cite.php format recommended by WP:WIAFA. Simply, enclose inline citations, with WP:CITE or WP:CITE/ES information, with <ref>THE FOOTNOTE</ref>. At the bottom of the article, in a section named “References” or “Footnotes”, add <div class="references-small"><references/></div>.^[?]
The article will need references. See WP:CITE and WP:V for more information.^[?]
Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.^[?]

As nobody has come forward to explain how this article does not meet NPOV I am removing the maintenance tag.Weejack48 10:28, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added the tag to this version of the article, and I have no problem with its removal. As you can see, the article's been much improved since that version. A lot of the material I had a problem with I removed myself (which youc can see in that diff I provided), but I still thought it was biased in that it only contained positive info about the school. Anyway, it was good of you to check first on the talk page but it's fine that you went ahead and removed it since I didn't notice this for a while. delldot talk 21:35, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just removed some complete rubbish here, move along..............

Magazine section?

Just wondering about some of the content of the last paragraph on the magazine. It would appear to be rather uncyclopedic, if not entirely fabricated. Does anyone know if the court case does exist?
