== IB's authorization "standards" ==
I just received an e-mail from London pointing out an IB school in the UK which was authorized in June, 2008. http://www.ibo.org/school/000484/ I was also referred to an article that hit the UK press during the 2 year IB authorization process: http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23384657-details/We+do+use+books+that+call+Jews+%27apes%27+admits+head+of+Islamic+school/article.do
Frankly, this is outrageous. Is this the sort of "cultural understanding" IB is willing to slap its label on, as long as the cheques are good? [[User:ObserverNY|ObserverNY]] ([[User talk:ObserverNY|talk]]) 20:59, 27 August 2009 (UTC)ObserverNY
:Observer, this is [[WP:NOTFORUM|not a forum]]. That second link does not mention IB specifically anywhere on it, so any sort of statement you'd want to make about connecting the IBO link to the article is [[WP:SYN|synthesis of sources]], which is a type of [[WP:OR]] - and is inadmissible. Again, this is not a place for you to discuss your outrage regarding "cultural understanding," so take it elsewhere. — [[User:HelloAnnyong|'''<span style="color: #aaa">Hello</span><span style="color: #666">Annyong</span>''']] <sup>[[User_talk:HelloAnnyong|(say whaaat?!)]]</sup> 21:55, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
::ROTFLMAO! What a perfect example! Well done HA! ''The UN's stated objective is to maintain international peace and security, but since its creation there have been 160 wars throughout the world.'' '''IB aims to create intercultural understanding and world peace but authorizes schools that breed hatred.''' ROTFLMAO!

HA - well done again, HA. If the information cannot be addressed or incorporated into the article as per [[WP:SYN]] I respect and abide by that policy. [[User:ObserverNY|ObserverNY]] ([[User talk:ObserverNY|talk]]) 11:26, 28 August 2009 (UTC)ObserverNY
== IBDP article and talk page ==
Nice job Cinchbug and Candorwien (regarding recent edits). While the history of the UWC is fascinating and very much connected to the development of the IB curriculum, we can only add here what is verifiable and accurately reflects what is said in the sources. Thank you for remaining focused on improving the article and maintaining a collaborative approach to editing. HelloAnnyong, I applaud your efforts as well. What can we do to discourage editors from climbing soap boxes? Didn't check before writing this---have we abandoned the "to-do box" idea, or is it in place? Cheers!

:TK has placed the box at the top of the page. I encourage editors to use it--but please use the "Preview" button before saving changes, so that you can learn how it works! My experience with these pages suggests that editors too often don't bother to review their changes using "Preview," resulting in a great number of otherwise unnecessary additional changes. Nevertheless, thanks to TK for the box! Regards, • [[User:CinchBug|<b style="color:#0C0">Cinch</b>]][[User talk:CinchBug|<b style="color:#93C">Bug</b>]] • 23:58, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
