Talk:List of international schools

Vandalism edit

The "M. Wright International College Preparatory School" in Yongin, Gyeonggido was randomly removed by the IP address 86.108.105.216 without notation or reason at 09:36, on 4 November 2009. I believe this to be vandalism and a part of a group effort to discredit the school. (See Talk:MWICPS for current controversy). The link has been readded and should stay there until the final decision on the MWICPS article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.194.121.90 (talk) 13:33, 7 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

This link was removed previously by 'Scleaston' on the false grounds that its lacking of a wikipedia page somehow deems it non-existent. The article was removed for lack of nobility, nothing else. The school's existence was not in question and was sufficiently proven, despite its lack of nobility. The nobility of most South Korean international schools is minimal as most are small and cater to less than 70 students. 124.80.163.204 (talk) 16:06, 20 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

General list concern edit

I don't want to go back to before the "clean up" took place if I don't have to but, someone accidentally (I assume!) removed every nation after Japan! If this can't be rectified another way, I will go back and change the page back to it's state just before the clean up (which appears to be the same time the countries were inadvertently removed).

Problem now fixed. --mervyn (talk) 17:14, 5 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Weblinks edit

Are there not supposed to be links to corresponding school webpages from this list? It seems like this would be an appropriate informational and non-soliciting reference to the schools in the list. I noticed that some schools still have links, but other countries have been made uniform and all links have been removed. I don't want to do anything outside the parameters of appropriate guidelines, but if it's acceptable, I would like for those who use this list to have the opportunity to link directly to the school's websites if they want additional information (this feature is available for articles - why not for the list? It can still be "clean" - be worded so only the arrow is visible. Just curious...66.193.225.69 (talk) 14:23, 5 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

No - external links should not be used - Wikipedia is not designed to be a Directory of links (see WP:NOT ). The names should only have an internal wiki link to take one to the school's article. If there is no article, the link will show as red, indicating where new articles are needed. --mervyn (talk) 17:14, 5 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

International School of Berne edit

Just curious. Why is there no listing for the International School of Berne, the school in which Kim Jong-un is supposed to have studied? It seems neither to be listed here, nor have its own wiki entry. - Alternativity (talk) 09:43, 25 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Accreditation edit

I have seen some other people wondering why certain schools didn´t make the list. Because there was no explanation of requirements nor links, I am curious what accreditation body was used to determine if the school was ¨international¨. Can anyone shed any light. There did seem to be a lot of ¨American¨ schools on the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joyo1987 (talkcontribs) 13:47, 17 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Huge gaps edit

This list somehow leaves out almost all German schools around the world and many French schools. Why is that? Is it just an Anglo-American centric thing ( British and American schools are all included ) ? Anyways, I’ll try to add as many as possible. Jeremiasss (talk) 08:45, 1 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
