thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Newcastle High School Logo.jpg

message: Far too often I see "famous alumni" added to this article who never attended this school. Typically the people added are ex-Newcastle Boys High School (NBHS) students who people, apparently not understanding the concept of succession, think attended Newcastle High School (NHS) because of the statement "Newcastle High School, which began in 1976, is the successor of three schools". Prior to becoming just plain old non-selective Newcastle High, the school was called Newcastle Girls High School (NGHS) and was, as the name suggests, an all-girls (ie no boys) school. NGHS and NBHS were completely separate entities at different locations. Students of NBHS can't be considered to have been students of NHS because they didn't attend the school, or NGHS. When NBHS became Waratah High School in January 1977 it was just a name change, nothing more. Students weren't transferred en masse to NHS. Nor was any of the infrastructure transferred from NBHS to NHS. NHS is just the last of a family of schools that shared a sometimes common history. That's where the succession comes from. The common root is Hill High. NGHS split off from that in 1929 as a separate entity, although uniform colours and the motto carried on to the new school. NBHS started at Waratah in 1934 and Hill High continued on as Newcastle Junior Boys High until 1973. NBHS, using the same motto, colours and school song, survived a further 3 years until it lost its identity and became Waratah High. Meanwhile, NGHS continued on and is the only one of the three schools left to carry on with the colours and motto. The only people who can be considered to be students of Newcastle High School are females who attended Newcastle Girls High School until 1976 and anyone who attended Newcastle High School from 1977. --AussieLegend (talk) 10:11, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a redirect to this page from "Newcastle Boys' High School", so there's no other place for old boys of NBHS.  I've broken up the list by school attended, and I think it would be reasonable to add a section for NBHS. Giles Martin (talk) 14:19, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: NBHS students shouldn't be added to this article because they didn't go to this school. If there is a need to include famous NBHS alumni, then the NBHS redirect should be converted into an article. Any names that can't be verified as having attended the schools shouldn't be in either article. --AussieLegend (talk) 23:19, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

message: * What I think should be changed (include citations):
The following sentences be removed: 
Some students and parents have expressed their dislike of the new rules, which they consider give students too little time to get to class. They also believe the stricter new uniform rules are “over the top”. Some staff, students and guardians have reportedly expressed the view that Rosser's excessive implementation of these rules is a PR stunt aimed at making the school look good while reportedly ignoring requests for repairs by her fellow staff members and certain alumni. It has also been said that some students falling behind have found it hard coping with the new systems, and are reportedly being ignored by Rosser when they ask for a return to the status quo ante (i.e. the previous rules).
* Why it should be changed:
The sentences are conjecture and not cited or reliably sourced. 
* References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):
