message: The given source only mentions "administrators had been warned" and does not mention any ignoring. It is entirely possible that there was an internal investigation that turned up with nothing - or perhaps not, but the source doesn't mention it. --220.239.82.62 09:29, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "ignored" 

message: The positioning of this information gives it far too much weight and effectively turns the article into an attack piece, which is unacceptable. This is one nasty but basically small incident in the whole history of the school and should be treated as such. Wikipedia is not a newspaper and must balance contemporary matters within the whole history. I have therefore moved it to a more appropriate position at the end of the article. It is essentially an appendix. Furthermore there are unnecessary details, which I have removed such as the names of the insurance firm and the lawyers. Tyrenius 06:05, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks Tyrenius. I agree with your assessment regarding undue weight and I appreciate your input. I also agree with removing the unnecessary details. Unfortunately it has been a matter of dealing with this section on a near word-by-word basis. Cheers, Sarah 12:59, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

text: 4 editors as above are in agreement which makes a strong consensus. This section should not be significantly changed and certainly not enlarged, given more prominence or more negative content without gaining a consensus to do so. Attempts to go against this will be viewed as disruptive editing and may result in being blocked. Tyrenius 19:09, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Sexual abuse incident

message: This appears to be unreferenced:
:Lynch had been charged in 1997 over the abuse, but committed suicide shortly afterwards.

text: Maybe one of the students or editors living in the area could take some pictures? Sarah 07:44, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pics 

message: I believe that the former version of the sexual abuse section in no way overemphasizes negative aspects of the school and/or present biased information. I edited the old version to remove many claims, but now it has been severely hacked at. I want to restore the old version because I believe that it complies with all the 'demands' of the above 5... no 4 editors. I will agree with the placement for the time being, but believe the old version is superior. I see no reason why it was deleted. --Paaerduag 07:21, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Instead of continuing to assume bad faith and making wild accusations about everyone being against you, please, firstly, respect the fact a new consensus has been reached and, secondly, address what problems you have with the new version. For instance, why do you feel it is critical to include the name of the law firm? Sarah 08:01, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

text: The superfluous information shouldn't be in there because consensus was reached to remove it. If you feel it should be in there, you need to reach a new consensus. What you are doing now is not the right way to do this. You can't win an edit war when your edits are disruptive and against consensus. Sarah 08:26, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  sexual abuse section 

message: I have rewritten the section from sources, removed POV comments and text, retitled it. AFAICT, it was not a sex scandal as such and thus should not be so labelled. The scandal only apparently broke when the school had to pay compensation out of its own pocket because the headmaster failed to notify the insurers that students had lodged complaints against Lynch's sexual transgressions. Whilst the introduction of better context has increased its weight within the article, I feel that it is necessary to make the story neutral. Ohconfucius 04:50, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Kevin Lynch

message: I have remove some long and dry lists of subjects and courses without descriptive text about why these are in any way special. I have also removed paragraphs about mission and vision from the article because it makes the article seem promotional. School articles should conform to wikipedia's policies and guidelines, namely WP:NOT#DIRECTORY and WP:SOAP and WP:SPAM. In addition, please also refer to Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools, which attempts to set the global consistency of school articles,and the debates which have been taking place on the associated talk page.

message: The school logo source appears to no longer work (http://www.bgs.qld.edu.au/) appears to be a defunct link.
The new website can be found at (https://www.brisbanegrammar.com/Pages/Brisbane%20Grammar.aspx), however the image of the school logo is quite small, and would be heavily pixelated if scaled up.
I'm new to Wikipedia so I'm not sure how this works, but I have made a high-quality version of the school logo. If you would like to use it, I can link it here.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by William Shorrock-Browne (talk • contribs) 14:28, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
