message: What on earth is the gang violence section?  I was in VCE in 2001, and the 'gang violence' was no different to what goes on at any other school -- certainly not remarkable.  The only incidents I can think of were the Ryan Moses incident (which, admittedly, made it to pg2 of the Sun, and pg3 of the Age), and a couple of hyped up 'Asians vs Turks' shovefests on the oval.  There were a couple of things before that, but they were largely aberrations, and I don't think it really warrants mentioning.  Drug use was certainly not exceptional. 203.49.196.168 01:36, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Good update with the surrounding area. But when I was there we had someone beated up pretty much every week. We had at least 10 hospitalisations per year in the later years... In any case gang activity in the university high school area is particularly high. Noteworthily high.

text: Unfortunately, it seems someone has removed the section completely. Could that get restored please? I will try and dig up the newspaper articles mentioned above but I am in no mood for searching through the history.
Theres defitenitly no noteworthy violence nowadays. 218.215.129.75 08:30, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Keep the warcry. We needed to learn it on enrolment day, it is the equivalent of a school anthem.
The war-cry is no longer taught on enrolment day, and as of 2007 has been removed from the school diaries. It is no longer an important school tradition, and so should not have a section devoted to it. 58.160.83.19 (talk) 11:19, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

message: :can you please put back the notable alumni?
I was disappointed to see the list of notable alumni deleted. Uni High has many notable alumni---past and present of diverse backgrounds---deserving of recognition and in whom there should be pride.

message: I've just finished a quick clean-up of the article and don't know very much about this school, so i've had to have a guess at the school colours for the infobox. If I have got them incorrect could someone please change them. If anyone needs help with the colour boxes, let me know and I will help you out. Cheers! Loopla (talk) 04:20, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  The colours are green and white, at least according to the school uniform we all wore for sports. --Carbonrodney (talk) 14:05, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  School colours have been green and tan since at least the 1930s (the colours which are on the UHS insignia). 122.108.114.243 (talk) 01:50, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

message: There has been a lot of edits made regarding musicals, some of which were reverted only to have them added again later by someone else. A recent addition was the names of the directors. I propose we introduce a table format, with the year, the musical and the director. Also, does anyone know what they were further back than 2002? 58.160.83.7 (talk) 08:01, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello all,
In accordance with Wikipedia formatting policy, I have removed most of the lists (bullet points) as this is in general unencyclopaedic. Where possible, I replaced them with brief text. See What not to do and when lists are appropriate. I would also like to remove the past principals list, but I'm leaving it for now in case someone can think of a good way to integrate it (otherwise I'm just going to cull, sadly).
When writing a paragraph, try to add information that is reliably sourced - where this is not possible, reference something semi-reliable - where this is not possible, at least don't predict the future. =P
So, combining those two points... Most of the notable alumni are about to be culled. This has been a problem area for some time, and in the past I have been a supporter of inclusion but it really should be restricted to a handful of people - perhaps, Nobel laureates and people of similar standing.

message: HiUHS historians.  On Lawrence (LA, or "Dicky") Adamson's page it says "In 1898 he joined Otto Krome as joint-headmaster of the University High School"   This tallies with what I have read elsewhere. I don't know how long this joint headship lasted (LA's main attachment before and after was to Wesley College) but the table should be complete.
