Suit Yourself.

Schoolcruft

Basically, add anything that is backed up by third-party sources, that have no affliation with the school what-so-ever.

You may wish to look here for some notable alumni.

Id like to see some more information on history, something on scholarships, campus, bit on music/the arts, and some info on any specialist programs the school runs (eg. cadets). Twenty Years 15:52, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

OK, taking a shot at someone whos trying to help you is not a smart move, but ill let it slide, because i want to sort out the issues on Newington once and for all.

In actual fact, if you look at the revisions, you will see this: Extra deleted alot of info, i partially reverted it, keeping all that is notable.

You may have noticed that i edit Aquinas College, Perth alot, i based much of that article on Scotch College, Perth, using it as a guide for everything. You may wish to do the same, obiviously all schools are slightly different and will require different information, but it can act as a guide.

Add anything that ive mentioned above and ill fight nail and tooth to keep it. I guaruntee it. Twenty Years 16:28, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I have a comment on one or two of your remarks. There should be no need to make personal comments, it is not a personal matter. Twenty years has expressed a willingness to discuss the improvements, I think that some aspects of your approach are counter-productive. We all volunteer to contribute and respect should shown be to all editors. I hope you don't mind the sermon, at least too much. Thanks, Cygnis insignis 17:59, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Wikistalking & Personal Attacks

Any reason for your wikistalking [1] [2] [3] & personal attacks? [4] ExtraDry 12:36, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Pots and kettles come to mind. Mitchplusone 12:37, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Are you a newington old boy or current staff Is that why your interest in the topic? ExtraDry 12:42, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Please just leave this topic, both of you. Stop making personal attacks, and stop accusing each other of bad faith. You are both going the right way to a block/ban. Twenty Years 12:44, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Newington College

It goes without saying that admins are carefully watching edits related to this set of articles. There has been a disturbing amount of edit warring, quarrelling and assuming bad faith going on in edit summaries and on talk pages, as well as questionable additions to and removals from the articles in question. While the checkuser finding has come back fairly inconclusive, the behaviour of all parties is under scrutiny and breaches of policy will not be tolerated. If this warning is not heeded, blocks may well be the next stage. Orderinchaos 23:24, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

The template is intended for use in cases where a person has say 25 edits all of which are all on the one article, and that article goes to deletion. Use of the template in this case is disruptive, and I've indicated that on the relevant page. It is of concern that a lot of unproven allegations are being circulated with more authority than they actually carry - i.e. the word of one person whose past behaviour does not lend towards credibility. I differ from you in seeing it as a two-way thing, although the issues on one side are more gross incivility and on the other are more content/NPOV issues which can be disruptive if pushed too hard, but can probably be resolved by recourse to independent sources.

Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia

Hey Mitchplusone, Thats a good question. My reasoning for writing it like that was:

1. it got a little messy/complicated when I tried to include "the school is a member of..." and "the principal is a member of ..."
2. the heads of these schools are only members of the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (and the Association of Heads of Independent Girls' Schools) because of the schools they run. Principals of these schools are automatically members, therefore the school effects the heads membership, not the other way around.

Hope I explained that ok..it was difficult haha. I might be completely wrong so feel free to change the wording, its just that with schools that have a number of memberships (eg. PLC) I found it was easier to understand when it was heaped together. Loopla 09:40, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Scott

The society information is still cruft IMO. His latest thing says that its news report speculation which is probably alright, but simply adding it isnt alright, he must discuss changes, given the controversial nature of the comments. I think that this has brought a great deal of light onto Newington, and has meant that if any one slips up they will be slipped out. Twenty Years 11:17, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
