Hello,
I am a student a Lancaster Royal Grammar school who was set a challenge by my history teacher. We were asked to make changes to the schools Wikipedia page and see how long it takes to be changed back in an experiment to discover how well Wikipedia is administrated. I do not believe asking a class full of 13 year old pupils to change a Wikipedia page is good idea as it could easily get out of hand. However I don't believe that a formal warning is fair considering that a teacher at LRGS had asked us to edit the page and report back our discoveries. I, GBfan, Scribble monkey, loleggs, troller74 and GRIMREAPER524 are all students I know of who had been set the same task. As it says on your page, you are a post graduate of sociology in Ohio which is in America therefore I wonder what relevance an English school could be to you and why you would change edits by students who attend the school because although some are obviously illegitimate changes, some could be serious changes that could improve the page and give more up to date information to people who aren't connected to the school like yourself. I would be grateful for the warning to be revoked as we had good reason to change the page as it was a particular interest a teacher had shown and had asked us to find out the information for him instead of him having to do so himself. Also as a numerous amount of students had made changes to the page so we could take an average of our different results to find the most accurate. I hope I speak on behalf of all of my fellow classmates when I say that we have got slightly out of hand in our changes to the schools page. As we were asked to change the page by a higher member of authority at the school I think that it is not as severe as you are making it out to be.

I have recently edited a page about an American National Historic Home that has been closed due to the recent occurrences of the Federal Governments negotiations regarding the budget. This information was not advertising, but merely to let people know that if they wished to tour the home at this time, they would be unable to gain admission.
