BEM - Bordeaux Management School

Hello. This is NOT an abreviation. It is the full legal name of the school. Best Regards, Anthony — Preceding unsigned comment added by Warwickensis (talk • contribs) 14:25, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Changed to the name used on the website, which one presumes is the most commonly used organization name. Fæ (talk) 14:44, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

BEM

Thank your for your help. Could you please help me to display the infobox? Best regards, Anthony — Preceding unsigned comment added by Psb75 (talk • contribs) 14:51, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for jumping in on Ravians

I'm baffled by the outcome. We delete the page, but leave the same apparently hair-on-fire BLP vio material, plus lots more, on the institution page? If the BLP trump demands immediate expunging in this case, what about virtually every other educational institution with such an uncited section? BusterD (talk) 01:10, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Alumni Lists

How should it best be worded when adding a former pupil who is best known by their pen name and fame as an author but at the school was known by their birth and legal name. Lenzie Academy and Jane Duncan RafikiSykes (talk) 15:18, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

The two names would have to be linked in public documents and if this is the case and they can be referenced then I would see no problem in listing the most commonly known name followed by their other name. As Misplaced Pages is intended for the general public reader rather than previous members of the school, I would go for the commonly known pen name first. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 15:28, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Yes the article citing her attendance also gives her real name family member names etc nothing not in public doman and as she is dead no BLP issues.RafikiSykes (talk) 15:54, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Thumbs up then, give it a go. --Fæ (talk) 16:13, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

A bit puzzled about your revert to Gerda's userpage

Hi Fæ! I must admit I am wondering why you made this change to Gerda's user page. No doubt there is a good reason, but I'm not smart enough to see why. Please enlighten me! --Shirt58 (talk) 10:15, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out, I think it was a glitch when browsing from a tablet, probably a consequence of moving around using a touch screen rather than a mouse. Cheers Fæ (talk) 10:41, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Wilma Pang

Please help save Wilma Pang, I think it is just being deleted due to wiki politics ironic for an article on an actual politician. Thanks hon.

I looked at it before but thought it was the wrong site of the WP:1E guidance and I'm not sure the main event in question would justify an article. I decided against putting in an opinion either way on this one. This probably is a good example where userfication would be a smart move depending on what Pang gets up to next.

Perhaps you should consider returning to use your named account (assuming I'm not mistaken about who you might be)? You make interesting contributions so it's a shame not to have these done in an open and collaborative manner. Getting unblocked might be a bit of a drag, but if you can genuinely explain you understand the policies and intend to stay within them, this is normally seen favourably. If you have been up to anything that would look dreadful (such as gaming the system) then contact me by email and I would be happy to put you in touch with someone experienced and independent to advise you on how best to proceed if you want to become an open and valued contributor.
