thread_title:  Help me with the vandalism 

message: :Saying that LSC had won Bauhinia Bown 24 times and that she has already won the 2006 championship is strict vandalism. --Deryck C. 06:11, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm confused. The article above lists La Salle College as winning the Boys School award 24 times. I counted; it's definitely listed 24 times, not 21. So why is this incorrect—this appears to be a matter of fact, rather than opinion. (I'm happy to accept that this year's award is yet to be decided, although it is listed in the article on the Bowl). Where is the error? Sliggy 19:54, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Bauhinia Bowl]] 

message: I've decided to leave the version by 218.102.109.170 in order to avoid an edit war. However I've two points to question:
#Accuracy of Bauhinia Bowl is questionable. Please don't use that as a reference to this article.
#Although all Bauhinia Bowl competitions have finished and the estimated standings tell us that LSC had won the 2006 champ, but the official result has not been announced. We should not take the 2006 champs into this article for the time being.

message: I think F2s say this prayer solely because this has to be examed. In other forms, this never appears. I'd suggest this prayer be removed from the prayers' description. --Deryck C. 14:42, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Apostles' Creed? 

message: There is continued vandalism of removing the passage about Paul Lau. Would all active editors of this article please regularly check out such vandalisms and deal with them, as they happen so often whenever the passage is not (yet) deleted (being vandalized). --Deryck C. 05:57, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Continued vandalism 

message: Please discuss any proposed change to the section "The first layman principal" here, before anybody removes the passage again. --Deryck C. 05:05, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Paul Lau was decided not to be notable in his own right. From the AfD decision, "painful detail about the headteachers upbringing would not work well in that article, nor would much more than a mention in the infobox." Most of the material in the biographical section is not relevant to the scope of the article, hence removed. Paul Lau is not even headmaster anymore -> crud. If you want to discuss what influence he has been on the school's history, and how his previous career is relevant to this, fine. But don't just plonk down his whole biography, none of which is relevant. I read a perfectly ordinary teacher's biography here, and it doesn't belong. - Samsara (talk • contribs) 10:38, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

message: ===The biggest hug===
I have heard that the biggest hug was not officially approved by Guinness as a record due to some problems concerning the video recording. Is there anyone who can have good sources to know if the record did hold or not before?

replies: text: The biggest hug was not officially approved by Guinness, but not due to a problem with the video. The problem was, not more than three months before LSC performed the hug, another party performed a slightly bigger hug which was not put onto the list of records until a year after LSC performed another "record-breaking act". --Deryck C. 04:48, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

message: A good start but not yet a B as article is lacking any references. The alumni need sorting out. Red-linked alumni should be referenced. Ask at WikiProject Schools if you need any help. Dahliarose 19:34, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Assess

message: Hi I would like to offer some help to clarify and improve the history write up for the school.  It's right now pretty messed up and facts are wrong.  For example, how could <After the War> be talking about Bro Aimar and his 7 years of success?  Bro. Aimar died in Indochina in 1945, during the war.  The whole section of After the War relates to 1932 to 1939.  
Regarding the problems that the writings do not have references to support it, we can use the History book that I wrote, Sons of La Salle Everyone, that was published in December 2007 to support most, if not all, the history information.  
Other problems are for example: there is also little coverage on Perth Street, and the photos are also wrongly positioned, not relating to the period the text is talking about.  I can offer some good photos of the school
Also, some time ago, I had added more detailed information regarding the the German Interment in La Salle in 1939 to 1940, with a link to one of the internees (Gerhard Neumann).  That was in show up for a while, but I don't know how come that information has disappeared, and I can't find when it was removed/edited.
Can someone advise how can I make the changes to the history section?  I tried making changes yesterday, but the changes did not show up, as they were looking for some supporting information.

thread_title: Citations

message: I am quickfailing this article due to the lack of references. I have also glanced through the article so here are some comments:
*The lead should be expanded in order to adequately summarize the article. see Wikipedia:Lead section
*Right now the only references are from the school. Try using Reliable sources such as local newspapers. 
*:Image:Schoolbadge color.gif needs a fair-use rationale. Try using Template:School rationale.
*The academic section could use information about the entire student body rather than just individual students.
Good luck improving the article. Eóin (talk) 23:49, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Failed Good Article nomination 

message: I'm sorry, but the article cannot be passed at this time. Not all of the suggestions from the previous review of the article were addressed. Here are some more things to work on before renomination:
*The article needs to be fully referenced. There are sections and paragraphs without a single in-line citation.
*The lead needs to be expanded, per WP:LEAD to summarize all the main points of the article.
*Only the first word in a header should be cap unless it is proper. (A New Beginning)
Good luck. Nikki311 21:40, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Failed GA

message: It is not clear to me (North American) which grades or ages were allowed at the school. That is, there may have been a standard break between primary and secondary education in Hong Kong at the time, but I do not know what it was. What was the age range permitted at the College before 1956? Thanks, Fotoguzzi (talk) 02:25, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

message: Why is the word 'revere' used to describe local attitudes towards the school? This smacks of self-aggrandisement. 'Love unquestionably, uncritically, or to excess.' That is certainly matches propaganda put out by the school, but such mythologising in an encyclopaedic article is excessive and repugnant. Sexyharry (talk) 04:37, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
