Please do not write comment on my page unless I can write on yours, otherwise it's unfair and I will report to Wikipediea Administrator. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seekfairness (talk • contribs) 09:05, 18 March 2010

If you have any comment to me, you can write it on this page or my talk page as you prefer. However, American International School of Hong Kong is not "your" page; it is a page that belongs to Wikipedia, and if you continue to make unconstructive edits to it (such as deleting sourced content or inserting unduly promotional language), you will be blocked from editing. cab (talk) 01:10, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

CaforniaAlibaba, I do not know how to comment on your page as you've protected your page. So it's unfair you can freely write on my non-protected page and I cannot have the same access right to yours.

I do not represent the American International School, so play no biases but simply stating the facts for the general public. I have edited your last edition to the American International School page for following reasons:

- I have removed your Chinese references as this is an English Wikipedia site and English reader cannot understand Chinese references and hence they cannot verifty the sources themselves not fair for the English readers and the school.

- The two kidnapping incidents are not conducted by anyone in the school, could happen anywhere hence have no direct relationship to the school and shall be removed.

Chinese references are perfectly valid. (It's quite hypocritical of you to suggest that they are not when you already inserted references to Singtao Weekly in order to expand the "Famous people" section). There is no language requirement on references, merely that:

English-language sources should be used in preference to non-English ones, except where no English source of equal quality can be found that contains the relevant material

Hong Kong is a Chinese-speaking city and as such many happenings there will only be reported in the Chinese press, not by the two English newspapers (of which one keeps its content behind a paywall and the other produces extremely low quality reporting). Furthermore that statement about the kidnapping is the only sourced content in the entire article. The rest is unsourced puffery inserted by people associated with the school. The article should be written by summarising what reliable sources (newspapers, magazines, and other third-party reports) have said about the school --- including this kidnapping --- not by writing brochure-like language about how the school produces "Expected Schoolwide Learning Results namely Well-Rounded Individuals, Global Citizens, Empowered Thinker and Effective Communicators". The simple fact is that the kidnapping did not happen anywhere, it happened at the school. Removing sourced content is vandalism and will be treated as such. And the reason "California International School" is bolded in the second paragraph is because California International School redirects there. This is standard Wikipedia formatting. cab (talk) 04:26, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
