	Reasoning for assessment: Barely a B, could use more work to retain this status. — Calebrw (talk) 17:01, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply] Upgrading to High importance due to Wall Street Journal reference and alumni. Could use more references (especially third-party), expansion via Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/Article guidelines, and images. --Jh12 (talk) 13:12, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:BlakeSchool.gif[edit]

Image:BlakeSchool.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Vandalism[edit]

MANY of the edits that have occured within the past month or so are specifically malicious, inserting 'silly' facts into previously true statements. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.202.199.225 (talk) 17:35, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We've got a problem....[edit]

There are multiple "Blake Schools". This is another chain. One in Plantation, FL and the other in Lake City, FL [1][2]

I've moved the page so that it now has location. I also added a disambiguation page so that they're sorted. Will add more soon! If someone gets a change... please redirect some more of the links from the redirect of The Blake School so that it goes where it needs to (the MN Blake School) and not the redirect. The goal would be to have the redirect take you to the disambig page. Katanada (talk) 06:54, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blake School (Minneapolis) → The Blake School (Minneapolis) – As per the logo itself pictured at this article. In text treatment on the school website, it doesn't even say "Blake School" but simply "Blake" Tenebrae (talk) 06:14, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:58, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Tenebrae: There may be two opinions about adding the "The". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:58, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The website does use "The Blake School" in the formal welcome from the head of the school: http://www.blakeschool.org/page.cfm?p=498 . I support the move. Kablammo (talk) 17:13, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
