Re-rated

Though Still not the amount of third-party refs I would like, I am now rating this a B-class article. Calebrw (talk) 16:44, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lowering to Mid importance for the state... am hard pressed to see how it rates a high (read: as important as an actual CT town). Markvs88 (talk) 16:48, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

POV tags

Can someone please provide examples of advertising or POV so that we can make the appropriate changes to remove the tags?LedRush (talk) 01:03, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Universal nobility and reliable, independent sources for alumni page

Convert List of Hotchkiss School alumni to editable, text-only list (see Exeter, Andover, Choate, and Yale's alumni lists) with reliable, independent sources of class year, free of repeated listings, plugged unknown authors, over-tagging, and over-titling. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:D:1280:344A:F88E:4149:8876:9BF7 (talk) 15:11, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Initial comments

The lead is a great concern, for one citations should not be in the lead unless it's citing controversial information and secondly there are far too many links
The lead does not summarise the article per WP:LEAD and the second paragraph composes of a list with no prose
"and among the Classes of 2011-2014" - why is classes capitalised?
The table in the Athletics section should not be in a GA article
The prose in the sub-sections of the Extracurriculars section is too short
" 827 acres (3 km2)" - wouldn't acres be converted to hectares?
The Notable alumni and In popular culture sections are the major concerns here, there is no prose and the sections only consists of lists, which go against the GA criteria

References

No dead links but formats are not consistent

Close - not listed

I am sorry to do this but there are too many problems to be addressed here before this can meet the GA criteria. The article is mostly list-y and the lead does not summarise the article either. The table in the Athletics section goes against guidelines and other than that this can't be promoted right now JAGUAR 12:31, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 3 external links on Hotchkiss School. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
