![]() | King George V School, Hong Kong was a good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | ||||||||||||

The IP number User:210.0.177.84 serves the King George V School. It has remained a long-standing source of constant and exclusive vandalism of Wikipedia. Among the hundreds of thousands of Internet users, this is the sole feature of the King George V School that comes to mind. -- Wetman 06:13, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
The issue of what and who the Headmaster is should not be censored. I thought people were supposed to respect other peoples' view on things, no? I made the assessment at a B-class; I don't feel able to judge the importance. The main reason it won't get any higher at present is a lack of references. The whole article needs citing. It's also weak on history, and a bit too focused on more recent events. -- Trebor 23:37, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
This article needs a cleanup - there are a large number of grammatical errors and some sentences could do with a bit of re-shuffling. A good effort nonetheless!
I would like to improve on the introduction of this article but i don't know what to add. KGV 14:26, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
I've removed the lyrics. They may be copyrighted. This needs to be addressed before we include them here. User:Zoe| (talk) 03:58, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
I am currently creating a section for the KS3 curriculum. It is here - KGV Curriculum - KS3 Section. Comments? - jlao 0 4 13:20, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
I have restructured the section on "teachers" (now renamed "teaching staff") into another chapter. Please add to it - it is not yet complete. Zero76 11:03, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Its complete now. KGV 05:26, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Somebody just deleted. Should it be put back on? Zero76 12:15, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
The content of the article is okay, but a lot of changes are needed before it can become a GA. Please address:
Carson 05:13, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
It's been in excess of the 7 day maximum that the GA nomination was put on-hold and issues relating to the original reviewer's comments still exist.
There has definitely been some work since the last reviewer went through the article. However, this article still falls short of the good article criteria (see WP:WIAGA). The citations still contain spelling errors and are not formatted properly. Other general grammer and spelling errors exist in the article. It needs a good read-through to catch and fix these errors.
For citation help, see Wikipedia:Citing_sources. To assist with copy-editing, see Wikipedia:How_to_copy-edit
Work on this article, and address all the issues raised by Carson and myself and then try to re-submit this article for good article review. Cheers. Nja247 ( talk • contribs) 17:50, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
I have added a category on Users whos secondary school is KGV, if you are one of them, please add [[catergory:users whos secondary school is King George V School]] on your user page. KGV 14:27, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
I have created a userbox for users whos secondary school is KGV, if you are one of them, please add {{ user kgv}} on your user page. KGV 09:39, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
This article needs immediate attention as it don't have much citations. Please help. Thanks KGV 10:00, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Why is this section always being deleted? As this is an encyclopedia I think no information should be considered "irrelevant". Zero76 07:56, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
The staff list is of no interest to anyone outside the school. Members of staff could of course be included in the article if they are particularly noteworthy in their own right. Lots of school information is trivial and not relevant for an encyclopaedic article. The article should focus on noteworthy and non-trivial subjects. Dahliarose 10:36, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
I've had to delete the staff list yet again. If anyone really thinks the staff list is necessary please discuss the issue here and provide justification for its inclusion. The consensus so far is that the list is unnecessary and counter-productive. Such information is also impossible to verify and impossible to maintain in the long term. Dahliarose 11:47, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of March 6, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a GA review. Thank you for your work so far. -- Shimeru 04:27, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
On a separate note, it seems the school webpage is down, so I can't check the composition date of the song. Please note that it may be a copyright violation. If the lyrics are still under copyright, that section should be removed from the article. Shimeru 04:32, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
I don't think that pavilion rooms are prefixed X: there aren't any classrooms there
The JCSRC is NOT part of the KGV school, except for the jr. pastoral offices. KGV does NOT use the garden rooms for teaching.
The section on teaching staff would be wonderful if it were added again in a table.
Do we need a longer trivia section? Or should we delete it altogether?
The school song should be all right to be on here. I don't think it's copyright. It's online at [1]
students can choose 2 languages out of four, and EAL is taught to the children with bad English (it's not a choice for them).
Section on buildings doesn't include DS rooms? BS rooms? MS rooms? K rooms? LO rooms? we could have a rooms section instead, if it wouldn't be too much trouble.
The sentences
"The school motto and song is Honestas Ante Honores "Honesty Before Glory" in Latin. It is sung at school events such as the Junior School Celebration and Speech Day."
"In 1974, the principal Miss A. Smith decided to join the English Schools Foundation, and in 1979, the transfer was complete. KGV is currently the oldest school in the ESF.[2] [3]"
are confusing.
The form letter G seems to stand for Galaxy instead of Ganymede, so alter it + the "heavenly bodies and planets".
you could reorganize the sections so that the Senior Student Council could be below School Council, and curriculum could be higher up.
Else well done.

On the KGV School Info Page it states that "the school provides 1,500 places", while the article says it's 1,700. Which is correct? Fickleflavoured 12:44, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
1700 is correct. Blland ( talk) 05:28, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
Is the table about the Current Student Council noteworthy? Students councils only last for one year? I don't think anyone outside the school would be interested in knowing who's in the student council. I'm going to remove it, if you disagree, discuss it here. - plau ( talk) 10:48, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
The school logo does not seem to be used in school or mentioned anywhere in the school's website (www.kgv.edu.hk) and was therefore removed. The school logo mentioned was Azure, on a chevron charged a lion rampant. Replace the logo back into the School motto and song section if you believe the logo is correct and accurate. Referencing would be appreciated. -- Lennieii ( talk) 14:20, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

I found https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/education/article/3090434/ceo-hong-kongs-english-schools-foundation-says-complaints which could be covered in this article WhisperToMe ( talk) 08:00, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
I changed the MYP to be more accurate to what the school says in school for e.g. - Arts to Creative Arts and Science to Biology, Physic ... . This is because any parent who might want to understand the Curriculum and asked there kids by the wrong name they might get confused. (Note : Please reply to this description)
