Hi You might like to update this image with a second fair use rationale for it's use on Independent Schools Association. In my opinion, it's use on that article is not in line with fair use in that it is "purely decorative" which is not in line with "fair use of copyright material". No discussion or analysis of Central Coast Grammar takes place at the Independent Schools Association article. Thanks, Ga rr ie 04:14, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Loopa. Great work on the PLC and related articles!
I just thought I would explain why I reversed your edit to Category:Presbyterian schools. It is already in Category:Christian schools which is a subcategory of Category:Schools by religious affiliation. The Catholic and Anglican schools categories are in that category on their own, but I think putting us Pressies there would be a step towards duplicating Category:Christian schools and defeating the purpose of subcategories.
That's my view anyway. If you choose to revert my edit I'm not going to get tied up in knots about it.
Keep up the great work!! Blarneytherinosaur gabby? 23:41, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey J Bar, Just wanted to compliment you on your picture of the Presbyterian Ladies' College, Sydney. It amazing! Nice work. Hope you don't mind that i've added it to the PLC article. Loopla 01:13, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
If you are looking for an article that needs work it is the now defunct St Patrick's College, Goulburn. I've started it but finding info on the school is proving difficult. Imalegend 16:24, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your good work on this article Loopla
You might like to check the reference to Sutherland Baptist Church. I don't think there was ever such a church.
Update (30/7/07): I just checked with someone close to this school and they tell me there definitely was a Sutherland Baptist Church, which relocated to Menai before the opening of the school.
Further comment (22/11/2007). Inaburra continues to be on my watch-list - and obviously yours. Thanks for undoing the revisions/garbage regularly posted to this article which emanate from a source/sources (?) which obviously 'have it in' for this school. I'll continue to watch the article, but you've probably got more predictable time and expertise to do the revisions...

Hey there. School logos again... I saw that there was a fair-use rationale at Image:StStanislausCrest.jpg explaining it's use at St Stanislaus College (Bathurst). Which is good. HOWEVER, the fair use policy requires a matching fair-use rationale in close proximity to the image in the article as well. I have added that rational in this edit.

Hello, I am thinking about adding some more photos for St Andrew's Cathedral School, and I am just wondering about the license for the photo, so just would like to see if you know the answer or not.
I found some images in Picture Australia website, one example is this: http://libapp.sl.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/spydus/ENQ/PM/FULL1?13270,I
The "date of work" for this photo is in 1944, which is over 60 years ago already. However, under the image, it said "This image is provided for research purposes only and must not be reproduced without the prior permission of the State Library of NSW."
So can I use a image like this for the school article?
Thanks

Hi Loopla
I just saw your edit on the Lavalla Catholic College page. You removed referenced information about a student who won an international (Australasian) neuroscience competition. I was just wondering if there is any part of this information that could be included as it is something that is notable, and sets Lavalla apart from other schools and thus should be included. Is it the reference to a minor the thing that should be excluded because if this is the case then I know of a number of school articles that list school captains who are likely also to be minors. Information that should perhaps also be removed.
Could you also give me some examples of what should be included in the article? It would be great if you could contribute to the Lavalla talk page. I was under the impression that having a student winning an international competition would be sufficient to be considered notable. Even more notable when you consider that it is a rural school, and yet it was written about in the Herald Sun, the Melbourne equivalent of The Daily Telegraph. Hopefully you will be able to put me on the right track as to what constitutes notability.
I see that you are a member of Wikiproject Schools, so I am hoping you might be able to give us some help. Tinkstar1985 03:10, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello,
I saw you removed the notable teacher section in the St Andrew's Cathedral School article. I added that section because in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools, it said if the teacher is "notable in their own right (for example, they have won a teaching award)". Therefore, I added that particular teacher because he was a receipent of NSW Teaching Award.
Just would like to let you know my reason for adding that section. :)

Hi Loopla, I'm sorry about not following the correct process for moving the Beaconhills article. I've had a read of the link you sent me and now see why copy and paste is not a good idea. Do you think it would be a good idea to undo my manual move and redo it using the move page feature? I'm concerned about the lack of edit history on the new page. Your advice would be much appreciated. -- SRHamilton 09:26, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
You are very correct, both of the daughter articles are Non-Notable. The middle school can be prodded or even speedied. Id say speedied. The football and futsal can be speedied aswell. To make it less contoversial, you may wish to just propose a merge, and we can quickly get a consensus to have them merged, then speedy the two daughter articles. I would love to remove the cruft from the main article too...it is OUT OF CONTROL =P If you ever have problems with cruft, just ask me i love schoolcruft. Cheers.

Hi - thought I'd let you know that I've removed the level 3 warning you left at User talk:58.173.101.118 as I'd already issued a level 2 warning for that same act of vandalism when I reverted it, and I thought it would be unfair for there to be two warnings for the same act. It may have been an edit conflict issue: sometimes I think I've reverted the vandalism, only to find when I check the history that someone else just beat me to it. If, however, you think that your warning was correctly issued, feel free to reinstate. With best wishes, Bencherlite Talk 11:29, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Greetings, just a quick query, the Template:Rescue has now got a yellow border, I know this may sounds picky, but I chose the serious tag because what is more serious that an article that contains encyclopedic topics being deleted? Style does not really handle it as we (the Article Rescue Squadron) are not editing the layout of the document, but adding citations and sources to prevent it from being deleted mistakenly. I am refraining from editing the Template due to other issues, but could you please reconsider your edit? Fosnez 10:27, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
This article has been nominated for deletion at the exact same time as I created it - how is this done? - and so the nominator appears not to have even read it. I would apprecaite your opinion on the quality of the article and the notability of the subject. Have you any suggestions as to where I might find details of his publications so as to beef up his credentials. How do we alert Australian editors (who understand the notability of GPS headmasters) to this call for deletion? Thanks Mitchplusone 04:00, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
What is your opinion on the removal of biographical details for David Scott, current Headmaster of Newington College, from the main school article. Should he have a wiki article on him, should a para about him be included in the Newington article or should he only be on a table of Headmasters or is he so lacking in notability that he should be no more than a name in the info box.

My sister was born in 1955 and left Meriden in 1973 so a 1954 dob and 1971 leaving date is plausible. Meriden has a centenary history but no register to the best of my knowledge. A class date (Class of ' 64) should always be the HSC year no matter if a person left early they are still a member of the last class Leaving Cert or HSC year - so her PLC reference should be Class of '71. It would be good if all Aussie alumni lists could use that style or at least have the years at a school (1973-1978). How can we confirm Richard Maddrell as an Old Boy of Scots. He was there, but the reference "I used to go to dances with him" isn't going to keep ExtraDry happy! Have a look at the David Scott Headmaster mess at Newington if you have a chance.

Hi Loopla,
Thanks for the list of Notable Australian Presbyterians at Presbyterian Church of Australia. It is similar to List of notable American Presbyterians, and List of famous Australian Presbyterians which I created very early in my Wiki-ing which was deleted as a copyright vio (and also needed a independent source or two). I'm thinking we should migrate this list to a separate article like that because 1) it is a list and I think they are discouraged where possible, and 2) it means we can put all the Australian Presbyterians there without having to figure out whether they were members of the Presbyterian Church of Australia or not. At the moment the list contains at least one who actually doesn't qualify on that ground - Reverend William Miller of the Free Presbyterian Church of Victoria. There may be others, particularly early on, who were also actually members of the other Presbyterian denominations in Australia (though there was a bit of coming and going between them). What do you think? Blarneytherinosaur gabby? 04:58, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Loopla, is a school a member of the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia or is a Headmaster, Headmistress or Principal a member of the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia. You seem to accept the former as being ther case as you add it and reference it but my undestanding is that the comment would be more correct if it read "The Headmistress of Meriden School is a member of the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia." The association is an association of Heads not schools. Mitchplusone 09:02, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
If you read the AHISA Constitutuion it is clearly he Head that is appointed not the school and the school doesn't remain a member after the head retires - and an acting head isn't a member. If a school sacks its head and appoints another AHISA doesn't just ask the new head to be a member. They will need to be convinced that the relationship between the governing body and the head is appropriate blah blah blah. You say "Principals of these schools are automatically members" but there is no set group of schools hence the name Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia rather than "Association of Heads of the Independent Schools of Australia". In the case of the conferences that merged to form AHISA it was certainly the Heads were appointed rather than the schools being members. Does it matter at a wikilevel? I think so but I wouldn't change your wording. Give it some thought and maybe in the future .... Mitchplusone 12:55, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your very thorough updating of this list. Given that you seem to have access to a wide range of sources, I was wondering whether you can find any information to verify the fact that Basil Holmes Travers (former Headmaster and Rhodes Scholar) also captained England in Rugby Union (before returning home to Australia after university study). Additionally, I had understood that Neville Emery (old boy, former master and father of Phillip Emery the test cricketer) was at one stage captain of the Australian rugby union team and in fact played in a match against BH Travers. This would have occurred some time during the 1940s.-- Calabraxthis 06:07, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
I am extremely ofended by the tone of the message which was left on my user-talk page by yourself and I request that you redact that statement immediately.
There are a multitude of reasons why your petty assumption of "test edits" is wrong, which I will not delve into right now.
It is completely inconsiderate to make those assumptions. Further, I would like to ask how the hell you connect a cosmetic improvement of an article to a "test edit"? What would I ave been testing?

I understand your concern for the possibility of non-cited statements on the St Edmund's page, however (and no offence is intended) but how can one cite or source references when the only information for the school can be collected from the School's website or from the students who attend the College?

The reason why i have been removing content from Macgregor State High School is due to the fact that the part i am removing is not sufficently sourced. Sure there is an article that suggests that a fight took part at the school but this article does not 100% confirm that it took place at the school or involved school students therefore the article is not a sufficent source.
I ask that you revert your eedit to the page and investigate the sources before you take action in the future.

Hello Loopla, thank you for your excellent edits on this article. It occurs to me when I re-read this that another relevant source of the name of Longueville originates in Chateaudun in France. I formerly lived in Longueville and was encouraged by other older locals in the area to visit Chateaudun when I travelled to France (in 1993) as it possessed both a Longueville and a Dunois wing to the castle, which was understood locally to be the origin of the naming of the suburb. Dunois Street is one of the main streets in Longueville. I have made consequential amendments to the article. Kind regards-- Cala braxthis 16:33, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

I'll continue to watch the article, but you've probably got more predictable time and expertise to do the revisions...

Hey there. School logos again... I saw that there was a fair-use rationale at Image:StStanislausCrest.jpg explaining it's use at St Stanislaus College (Bathurst). Which is good. HOWEVER, the fair use policy requires a matching fair-use rationale in close proximity to the image in the article as well. I have added that rational in this edit.

Hi Loopla,
I see you beat me to warning that anon. I was just about to warn them, but I got caught up in something else. It's good to see people who don't just revert, but make an effort to warn vandals as well. Keep up the good work. Blarneytherinosaur gabby? 04:42, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I am thinking about adding some more photos for St Andrew's Cathedral School, and I am just wondering about the license for the photo, so just would like to see if you know the answer or not.
I found some images in Picture Australia website, one example is this: http://libapp.sl.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/spydus/ENQ/PM/FULL1?13270,I
The "date of work" for this photo is in 1944, which is over 60 years ago already. However, under the image, it said "This image is provided for research purposes only and must not be reproduced without the prior permission of the State Library of NSW."
So can I use a image like this for the school article?
Thanks

Hi Loopla
I just saw your edit on the Lavalla Catholic College page. You removed referenced information about a student who won an international (Australasian) neuroscience competition. I was just wondering if there is any part of this information that could be included as it is something that is notable, and sets Lavalla apart from other schools and thus should be included. Is it the reference to a minor the thing that should be excluded because if this is the case then I know of a number of school articles that list school captains who are likely also to be minors. Information that should perhaps also be removed.
Could you also give me some examples of what should be included in the article? It would be great if you could contribute to the Lavalla talk page. I was under the impression that having a student winning an international competition would be sufficient to be considered notable. Even more notable when you consider that it is a rural school, and yet it was written about in the Herald Sun, the Melbourne equivalent of The Daily Telegraph. Hopefully you will be able to put me on the right track as to what constitutes notability.
I see that you are a member of Wikiproject Schools, so I am hoping you might be able to give us some help. Tinkstar1985 03:10, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello,
I saw you removed the notable teacher section in the St Andrew's Cathedral School article. I added that section because in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools, it said if the teacher is "notable in their own right (for example, they have won a teaching award)". Therefore, I added that particular teacher because he was a receipent of NSW Teaching Award.
Just would like to let you know my reason for adding that section. :)

What are your thoughts on creating a WikiProject for Education in Australia, which would encompass all of its schools, uni's and higher education stuff including the general articles about private and public schooling in the country?

Hi Loopla, I'm sorry about not following the correct process for moving the Beaconhills article. I've had a read of the link you sent me and now see why copy and paste is not a good idea. Do you think it would be a good idea to undo my manual move and redo it using the move page feature? I'm concerned about the lack of edit history on the new page. Your advice would be much appreciated. -- SRHamilton 09:26, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
You are very correct, both of the daughter articles are Non-Notable. The middle school can be prodded or even speedied. Id say speedied. The football and futsal can be speedied aswell. To make it less contoversial, you may wish to just propose a merge, and we can quickly get a consensus to have them merged, then speedy the two daughter articles. I would love to remove the cruft from the main article too...it is OUT OF CONTROL =P If you ever have problems with cruft, just ask me i love schoolcruft. Cheers.

Hi - thought I'd let you know that I've removed the level 3 warning you left at User talk:58.173.101.118 as I'd already issued a level 2 warning for that same act of vandalism when I reverted it, and I thought it would be unfair for there to be two warnings for the same act. It may have been an edit conflict issue: sometimes I think I've reverted the vandalism, only to find when I check the history that someone else just beat me to it. If, however, you think that your warning was correctly issued, feel free to reinstate. With best wishes, Bencherlite Talk 11:29, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Greetings, just a quick query, the Template:Rescue has now got a yellow border, I know this may sounds picky, but I chose the serious tag because what is more serious that an article that contains encyclopedic topics being deleted? Style does not really handle it as we (the Article Rescue Squadron) are not editing the layout of the document, but adding citations and sources to prevent it from being deleted mistakenly. I am refraining from editing the Template due to other issues, but could you please reconsider your edit? Fosnez 10:27, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
This article has been nominated for deletion at the exact same time as I created it - how is this done? - and so the nominator appears not to have even read it. I would apprecaite your opinion on the quality of the article and the notability of the subject. Have you any suggestions as to where I might find details of his publications so as to beef up his credentials. How do we alert Australian editors (who understand the notability of GPS headmasters) to this call for deletion? Thanks Mitchplusone 04:00, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
What is your opinion on the removal of biographical details for David Scott, current Headmaster of Newington College, from the main school article. Should he have a wiki article on him, should a para about him be included in the Newington article or should he only be on a table of Headmasters or is he so lacking in notability that he should be no more than a name in the info box.

My sister was born in 1955 and left Meriden in 1973 so a 1954 dob and 1971 leaving date is plausible. Meriden has a centenary history but no register to the best of my knowledge. A class date (Class of ' 64) should always be the HSC year no matter if a person left early they are still a member of the last class Leaving Cert or HSC year - so her PLC reference should be Class of '71. It would be good if all Aussie alumni lists could use that style or at least have the years at a school (1973-1978). How can we confirm Richard Maddrell as an Old Boy of Scots. He was there, but the reference "I used to go to dances with him" isn't going to keep ExtraDry happy! Have a look at the David Scott Headmaster mess at Newington if you have a chance.

Hi Loopla,
Thanks for the list of Notable Australian Presbyterians at Presbyterian Church of Australia. It is similar to List of notable American Presbyterians, and List of famous Australian Presbyterians which I created very early in my Wiki-ing which was deleted as a copyright vio (and also needed a independent source or two). I'm thinking we should migrate this list to a separate article like that because 1) it is a list and I think they are discouraged where possible, and 2) it means we can put all the Australian Presbyterians there without having to figure out whether they were members of the Presbyterian Church of Australia or not. At the moment the list contains at least one who actually doesn't qualify on that ground - Reverend William Miller of the Free Presbyterian Church of Victoria. There may be others, particularly early on, who were also actually members of the other Presbyterian denominations in Australia (though there was a bit of coming and going between them). What do you think? Blarneytherinosaur gabby? 04:58, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Loopla, is a school a member of the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia or is a Headmaster, Headmistress or Principal a member of the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia. You seem to accept the former as being ther case as you add it and reference it but my undestanding is that the comment would be more correct if it read "The Headmistress of Meriden School is a member of the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia." The association is an association of Heads not schools. Mitchplusone 09:02, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
If you read the AHISA Constitutuion it is clearly he Head that is appointed not the school and the school doesn't remain a member after the head retires - and an acting head isn't a member. If a school sacks its head and appoints another AHISA doesn't just ask the new head to be a member. They will need to be convinced that the relationship between the governing body and the head is appropriate blah blah blah. You say "Principals of these schools are automatically members" but there is no set group of schools hence the name Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia rather than "Association of Heads of the Independent Schools of Australia". In the case of the conferences that merged to form AHISA it was certainly the Heads were appointed rather than the schools being members. Does it matter at a wikilevel? I think so but I wouldn't change your wording. Give it some thought and maybe in the future .... Mitchplusone 12:55, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your very thorough updating of this list. Given that you seem to have access to a wide range of sources, I was wondering whether you can find any information to verify the fact that Basil Holmes Travers (former Headmaster and Rhodes Scholar) also captained England in Rugby Union (before returning home to Australia after university study). Additionally, I had understood that Neville Emery (old boy, former master and father of Phillip Emery the test cricketer) was at one stage captain of the Australian rugby union team and in fact played in a match against BH Travers. This would have occurred some time during the 1940s.-- Calabraxthis 06:07, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
I am extremely ofended by the tone of the message which was left on my user-talk page by yourself and I request that you redact that statement immediately.
There are a multitude of reasons why your petty assumption of "test edits" is wrong, which I will not delve into right now.
It is completely inconsiderate to make those assumptions. Further, I would like to ask how the hell you connect a cosmetic improvement of an article to a "test edit"? What would I ave been testing?

I understand your concern for the possibility of non-cited statements on the St Edmund's page, however (and no offence is intended) but how can one cite or source references when the only information for the school can be collected from the School's website or from the students who attend the College?

Hi Loopa, The Westbourne Grammar entry appears to be edited by someone using an ID Westbourne IT, which is not the same as the Westboure IT contributor who is myself from the IT department. This user made edits over the 2nd of November - this is not me, but appears to be someone with some detailed knowledge of Westbourne. We do not want 2 Westbourne IT users editing this site.

The reason why i have been removing content from Macgregor State High School is due to the fact that the part i am removing is not sufficently sourced. Sure there is an article that suggests that a fight took part at the school but this article does not 100% confirm that it took place at the school or involved school students therefore the article is not a sufficent source.
I ask that you revert your eedit to the page and investigate the sources before you take action in the future.

Hello Loopla, thank you for your excellent edits on this article. It occurs to me when I re-read this that another relevant source of the name of Longueville originates in Chateaudun in France. I formerly lived in Longueville and was encouraged by other older locals in the area to visit Chateaudun when I travelled to France (in 1993) as it possessed both a Longueville and a Dunois wing to the castle, which was understood locally to be the origin of the naming of the suburb. Dunois Street is one of the main streets in Longueville. I have made consequential amendments to the article. Kind regards-- Cala braxthis 16:33, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
