February 2019

This article does not seem to read as if from an encyclopedia but rather like it's an advertisement or brochure from the school. There is also far to much detail about the individual clubs and music programs. I propose changing the clubs and music section to just having a list of clubs and list of music programs, as what is included now is an unnecessary amount of unsourced and unhelpful information. The clubs and music sections could also be removed altogether. Meszzy2 (talk) 04:38, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it should be pared back. It's odd to have the lead claim "Central is known primarily for its academics, arts and athletics programmes." and then have no sourcing to support it. Gab4gab (talk) 13:03, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the unsourced claim in the lead, and also removed the overly detailed and non-encyclopedic information in the clubs and music section, which contained statements like "Central has a variety of sports teams to offer from all grades" and "RamsChess meets every Tuesday in the school to play chess, The club is open to all ranges of player and new members are always welcome." I also moved music ensembles under Extracurricular activities. Finally, I have added two sources to the schools website, and music department website, however the information taken from those sources is now just basic information and nothing opinionated.
