We have accusations of copyright violation. My impression is that the information in question is taken from sources such as school magazines and newspapers and so we just need to rework and represent, citing the original sources. Anyway, none of this is a reason to revert back to 2006 since we have good content added since. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:36, 17 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

I agree that there is good content that can be restored. The key point is that facts are not copyright but creative writing is. For example, the following can be restored from the timeline:
"1958 - The primary school is moved to a building near Raja Chulan Road. Miss Elena Cooke became the first Malaysian principal of BBGS."
This is purely factual and is not copyvio.
However,
"1977 - Miss Cooke retired.
New gymnasium and a Junior Library is built. The Yang Di Pertuan Agong bestowed the Award of Kesatria Mangku Negara upon Miss Cooke."
should be reworded:
"1977 - Miss Cooke retired. A new gymnasium and a junior library were constructed. Miss Cooke received the Award of Kesatria Mangku Negar from the Yang Di Pertuan Agong"
This removes the copyvio whilst leaving non-copyright facts. HTH. TerriersFan (talk) 17:27, 17 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
