Talk:Caulfield Grammar School

message: I am currently adding extra content based on great advice and feedback from Ambi. Hopefully this will take the aticle one step closer to FA status. Harro5 10:40, May 22, 2005 (UTC)
*Ambi suggests to add info on the school uniform. This only adds to the list effect. 
:I think it wouldn't be too hard to write this up in prose - you probably don't need everything (just the major points). Ambi 06:32, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Improvements 

message: I can find no mention of why it's called "Caulfield Grammar School". This strikes me as unusual since, I would imagine, every student in the place can probably tell me who/what/where Caulfield is and why I should care about him/her/it. I'm curious for obvious reasons -- EmmetCaulfield 20:33, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why is it called ''Caulfield''? 

message: Given that Caulfield Grammar School’s founder was one Joseph Henry Davies, and that he employed his two brothers and sister, and that Davies is not a common name in Melbourne's history, I feel that it is most important for this article to explicitly state whether or not the Victorian Cabinet minister, Sir John Davies, (Valentine's Mansion, Malvern Grammar School) was related in any way to the CGS Davies family.
Thus, it would either say ". . . and in 1924 moved into the Valentine's Mansion, formerly the home of Sir John Davies, a Victorian Cabinet minister, and the ( nephew/cousin/son, etc.) of Joseph Henry Davies. . ." or ". . . and in 1924 moved into the Valentine's Mansion, formerly the home of Sir John Davies (not a relative of the school’s founder), a Victorian Cabinet minister."
Hope this information is easy to trace, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.94.6.28 (talk • contribs) 
*That's a great point, and I think the answer might be implicit in that it is never mentioned in a history of Caulfield that Sir John Davies was a relation. If he were, that would likely be pointed out. Of course, speculation isn't good in a Wikipedia article, but I have a booklet from CGS about the Malvern Campus/Valentine's history (the info from it is found in the third paragraph under history), and a relationship between the two men is never mentioned. Sir John was a wealthy British man, and John Henry was a poor minister looking to employ his siblings; again a highly speculative guess would say that it is unlikely one side of an old British establishment family would be so much poorer. But I think the answer lies in the Lives of Valentines booklet not mentioning a connection. Thanks for your invaluable input. Harro5 23:04, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Davies & Davies

message: On the basis of St. Kevin's College, Melbourne's display of their "College War Cry", their "School Song", a description of the heraldic constituents of their school crest, and their house names, would any of that sort of stuff further embellish this site. For example, the School Song plus Mrs. Archer's music might be published on the site in the form of a pdf?
I earnestly beg you, however, if you are going to publish the CGS war-cry, that you please avoid publishing the "meet them, beat them, treat them all the same, Caul-field Gram-mar is the name!" version that was once imposed upon the school by Stan Kurrle (Old Grammarian)

thread_title: ...?

message: This looks like a pretty solid article -- there are just a few things that need addressing:
*'Middle School structure" has no inline citations. Is this information covered by the general citations?
*Again, citations in "School uniform" and "Alumni"? Confirmed?
*Take care of the  in "The Arts" section.
The article obviously doesn't read like blatant POV, so I'm not suspicious of the factual accuracy of the information provided. However, without inline citations, I as a reader am unable to tell whether any particular fact is verified or not. I see five general citations down at the bottom; ideally, those should be accompanied by <ref> notes with the specific page cited from those volumes.
Here are two other thoughts I had that won't stop me from promoting the GA, but about which you should think if you're looking ahead to another FAC.
*"The school amalgamated with..." -- is this a proper use of "amalgamated"? It sounds odd, but I'm no expert (nor a speaker of Australian English). It just jumped out at me and was repeated several times, so just make sure it's good word choice.
*There seems to be some confusion of topics for discussion in the "History" segment. Discussing the Yarra Junction and Nanjing campuses is fine in History if it discusses how they were acquired and established (it does). However, it seems like those are springboard topics to discussing the programs at those campuses today, which would be better treated under "Academics." I'm looking particularly at the sentence beginning with "At the Nanjing Campus, Year 9 students.."
Drop me a line when you've addressed or explained my concerns. Dylan (talk) 05:43, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I will start to address these things; thanks for your comments. Any ideas on what of Nanjing and Yarra Junction should stay in history and what should be moved? Also, amalgamate seems to be the right word based on dictionary definition. Will look at the other things now. Harro5 02:18, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  GA: On Hold 

message: Sorry I wasn't able to help more, I've been tied up with other things today. Moot point, because you've done a fine job of addressing my concerns. Nice work! If you use inline citations a bit more, this won't be far from being reinstated as an FA. Dylan (talk) 01:07, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  GA: pass 

message: Hi all,
Just wanted to hear other people's opinion on the academics section. To me i think its unnecessary, requires more citations, advertisement like and I don't think its suitable for wikipedia. Furthermore a lot of the history section is not really wikipedia material. I'm happy to discuss.

message: Hi, I've been going through this article and there was a litany of really obvious issues with chronology WP:VERIFY, WP:RELIABLE, WP:BOOSTER, WP:NEUTRAL and WP:DUE, several claims with no relevance to the article at all were included, lots of un-cited claims, piles of undue detail, non-neutal language and lots of boosterisms. I've tidied up the obvious problems...and I've been very generous in leaving the lions share of claims cited to WP:PRIMARY sources which really don't belong on Wikipedia either, if we were to stick to the rules, but I don't want to gut the article and believe we can find reliable third party sources to back those claims. Someone has done a very thorough job at some point, but it's been filled out with unverifiable claims and trivia. This article needs a heap of work and based on all the boosterisms and non-neutral language I'd urge Caulfield Grammar staff, students and Alumni editing this article to read this guideline and declare their WP:CONFLICT as is required.
