Multiple accounts have added potentially libelous allegations of corruption about school personnel to this article. I realize that there has apparently been some trouble with the management board of the school, as discussed and cited in the article, and I understand that some people may be upset about that. However, unsourced allegations will not be tolerated. Addition of potentially libelous allegations in this article without the inclusion of a reliable source corroborating the allegations may lead to the offending account being blocked from Wikipedia without further notice. --Jaysweet (talk) 13:35, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since the beginning of December a great deal of unencylopedic text has been added to the article [1]. HitroMilanese (talk · contribs) and myself have attempted to clean up, but our edits have been undone by an editor who appears to be a student at the school, Hello1181 (talk · contribs). In my opinion, the text is overly promotional (see WP:PROMOTION) and contains overly detailed lists of department heads, extracurricular activities ( see WP:NOTDIR) and the school's internal rules for promoting students. At least part of the text is copied from the shool's web site (see WP:COPYVIO). Furthermore, tweaks such as correction of spelling and capitalisation have been reverted by this editor. Apart from the conflict of interest the editor appears to attempt to own the article. I would really like to have a discussion on this page to reach a consensus about the article. Please leave your comments. Sjö (talk) 11:59, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed some of the blatant copyvio - Wikipedia policy regarding that is not negotiable and editors can be blocked for repeatedly pasting in such content. Anyone wanting to see that text can go to the school's website (i.e. the External link). Wikipedia is not BISD's mirror site. Also note the WP:DATED problem, as details about departments and teachers will change over time, and again current information is available on the school's website. It seems reasonable to retain the sections on History, Curriculum and Achievements, although only the Achievements section currently has references. I haven't found a direct copyvio on the Teachers section, although that is too short and seems to have problems with WP:OR and WP:DATED. Hopefully there are other secondary references available to support and expand the remaining sections. Dl2000 (talk) 00:12, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What was left didn't need the headings, so I got rid of most of those and did some other cleanup. I removed the cleanup tag, but I would like some independent sources i.e. something else than the school's own web site. Sjö (talk) 16:26, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay i think what you have done is very good and it helped me a lot thank you very much !!! Sjö and Dl2000 thank you for contributing your edits to BISD and i have many external and independent sites though i am a ex-bisd student! thank you very much for correcting my mistakes! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hello1181 (talk • contribs) 21:10, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I can see that there is less information about the school in this wiki page. So I request the students to improve it. And also improve the Arabic version as there is NOTHING there. MRC rules (talk) 15:06, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please check my user account or the view history carefully if you have any doubt regarding contributions. I have contributed the most to the article and please check carefully.

Hello there! I know that wikipedia need references but you could help by searching sources instead of deleting all of them. I will give references in a few days from the school website itself. Please have a discussion at the talk page before doing such a major edit. Thanks. MRC2RULES (talk) 08:38, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you know that we need sources, then you should post them when the information is added. It is not our job to find sources for you and anything added without sources can be removed at any time. --Khajidha (talk) 18:38, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is a volunteering community. It's not only my job since I don't own the article. Everyone has to help MRC2RULES (talk) 12:17, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you add something, it is YOUR job to source it. No one "has to help" you fix a problem that you made. If you add unreferenced text and someone else removes it THEY are the ones who are helping Wikipedia and YOU are the one who is causing the problem. --Khajidha (talk) 13:01, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'll add sources from bisdammam.com the website experienced a failure and some of the content was lost. So it's a bit hard to source MRC2RULES (talk) 12:18, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
