message: I remember a service conducted all in Welsh, presumably on St David's Day. If this tradition is continuing, it may be worth mentioning. --Alf melmac 07:50, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Quite right, Alf. The St David's Day service still takes place each year. Having been in the choir for that service a good few times, I must be one of the select few non-Welsh speakers in the world who could write this out from memory... "Gogoniant i'r Tad, ac i'r Mab, ac i'r Yspryd Glân; Megis yr oedd yn y dechrau, y mae yr awr hon, ac y bydd yn wastad, yn oes oesoedd. Amen." I'll add a little paragraph! --Casper Gutman 10:55, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Glory be! :) new section works for me, I was previously unaware of the pudding. --Alf melmac 15:22, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Someone (anonymous) changed the entry for "named after" in the infobox from "Jesus Christ" to "Jesus of Nazareth". I feel the former was probably marginally preferable — though calling Jesus "Christ" is a specifically Christian thing there can be no doubt it was the Christian messianic figure the college's founders had in mind when they named the place! Anyone else have any views? --Casper Gutman 20:07, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree that "Jesus Christ" is better in this context.  Was tempted to make the reversion myself when I saw it earlier, but wasn't sufficiently concerned to act unilaterally.  If there is consensus either way on this one, so much the better.  Bencherlite 20:16, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Peer review 

message: Jesus doesn't have an MCR, instead it has a GCR.  I tried to edit the file to reflect that, but changing the M to a G just made the entry not show in the table.  Can someone cleverer than me fix this?  
booth.adam 3/1/07. (Disclosure: old member).
:(I took the liberty of moving this to the bottom of the page, to keep the comments in date order).  From what I can see, the infobox is based on a standard template and changing MCR to GCR can only be done at the source template page - which would mean that all other Oxford colleges would be given GCRs, when the majority have MCRs.  Short of coming up with a second template for Colleges-with-GCRs, we may have to live with it... Bencherlite 23:25, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Since the infobox template has many optional fields, I could see no harm in adding one more! So, it now has a "GCR president" option as well as an "MCR president" one. Of course, no article will use both of these! This seems to me like a reasonable compromise. The (more complicated) alternative would have been to provide an entry for "MCR name" or similar, with a default value of "MCR". This could have been used for e.g. Brasenose's "HCR". I'm afraid my mastery of the more esoteric features of template-coding weren't up to this though! --Casper Gutman 20:12, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So why exactly has GCR been changed back to MCR in the Infobox?D22 20:44, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Casper, who is no fool when it comes to Jesus College matters, changed it in this edit with the edit summary "GCR -> MCR: see http://gcr.jesus.ox.ac.uk/", but I can't see anything there to indicate that Jesus now has an MCR.  (Pops off to ask Casper what he's doing).  Bencherlite 20:58, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Should have replied to this sooner. Perhaps I did, somewhere else.... The GCR/MCR seems confused as to what it's called just now. Apparently the G/MCR committee tried changing the name (to MCR) a couple of times but failed to get the members to vote for it! Perhaps they'll manage to make the change one day but until then I'll leave the page alone. Casper Gutman (talk • contributions) 16:16, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A little post hoc, but I should say that I participated in the vote to change the name last year and that it was passed, albeit after some debate, and that "MCR" is now correct. The change is largely cosmetic and was made because a sizable minority of the active membership at the time weren't actually graduates (4th year physicists, medics etc.) I am no longer a student at Jesus, I handed in my thesis last summer, so I am a little out of the loop, but I have not heard of any changes in this regard.

message: I have removed the following from the lead: 
"As of 2006 the college had a financial endowment of £119m.Oxford College Endowment Incomes, 1973-2006 (updated July 2007)"
It is out of date and I am not sure about the website hosting the figures. If the size of the endowment is worth mentioning in the article, then an up-to-date and properly sourced figure is needed; the material should also be in the body of the article, not just in the lead.

message: The article currently describes The Sheepshagger name as a reference to an 'offensive joke' about the Welsh. Is this really true? The term is freely bandied about amongst groups of English and Welsh friends with no offence intended or taken. No sane English person genuinely believes that a significant proportion of the Welsh population has sex with sheep. --Ef80 (talk) 14:48, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
