Talk:École secondaire catholique Garneau

message: :Maybe we can make a page so former and present students can associate themself to the page... kinda like the babel language.  When a user speaks english and puts that babel thingy on his user page he is categorized.  This in turn might creat a strong patriotism.  May also begin a good discusion group where people can put their silly ideas.  I'm not sure how to do a category though? I'll try. --CyclePat 16:18, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

message: :Do you know what school district this school is part of?  Is it part of a Francophone Catholic school district, or is it a French immersion program in an English Catholic district (or maybe something else)?  Also, note I added :Category:French language schools in Ontario which matches :Category:French language schools in Alberta.  --Rob 00:44, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: School District of Garneau

message: I will also make a french version at the same time at , which will be redirected to the full school name.  --Pat 02:00, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps Garneau (in both languages) should be a disambig page, not a redirect.  The disambig page could link to École Secondaire Catholique Garneau, Marc Garneau, Louis Garneau, Francois Xavier Garneau, and maybe more.  This approach should probably be done in both "en" and "fr" wikis.  --Rob 16:14, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I removed :Category:Wikipedians from Garneau from École Secondaire Catholique Garneau.  Unfortunately, I would suggest such a category or link to it, should only be on a user page, at most.  Generally, information about us (e.g. wikipedians) should never appear in any article.  
It's actually an unnecessary category as anybody can see who's interested in the school by the edit history or by the talk page of the school article.  Which Wikipedians went to the school is not important, but what's important is which wikipedians have an interested in editing the school article.  Since, we only use verifiable information, anybody (or at least any Francophone) is equally able to edit the article. 
Generally, we would only track alumni of a school for notable/famous/well-known people, not regular folks like us.  The link to the category I already put above (on this talk page), should suffice.  Also, I can't predict of other Wikipedians will accept the idea of the category in general; I don't object to it, but I can't speak for others.  --Rob 02:22, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: just for future reference:  Yes! I figured that would come up eventually.  It's like being part of a smaller, Geographical district zone, but really you're part of an organization.  I debated that one in my mind for several minutes.  I browsed categories on within wiki and I didn't see anything for schools.  I did see something for organisations but it wasn't appropriate.  I figured, if you can say, I'm going to Place d'Orleans and it signifies a geographical location, then why can't I say I'm going to Garneau.  With the same inference, if I'm going to somewhere that has now been named by the organisation name, well that would be logical to say that is the geographical location. It's all on naming and perspective!  --Pat 02:41, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, an even better precident than geography would be :Wikipedia:Wikipedians by alma mater or :Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Canada; which currently goes only to universities (not schools).  I have no personal objection to the existence of the category (some may though, I can't say).  The only serious issue, is that it can't be mentioned on the article.  As long as our readers don't see it, Wikipedians are welcome to categorize themselves however they see fit. --Rob 02:56, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  About the category of wikipedian alums 

message: I put in an infobox, and tried to make it look a little like some other school articles (like Beaumont Composite High School which is half French, half English).  I copy/pasted the exact spelling/case of the school and district name from the respective web site also.  Also I use the term "Francophone Separate Catholic" which I beleive is accurate, but might not be the terminology normally used in Ontario.  Feel free to change what I've done.  --Rob 05:55, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Tell me your feed back
:Nice addition.  It is certainly a motivator seeing as a failed my objective to make this a featured article by the new year.  Bah!  j'étais ambitieux.  C'est bon de voir quelqu'un qui travail sur cet article.  D'un premier coup d'oeuil, beau travail.  --CyclePat  01:24, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  School specialty 

message: I did a redirect to École Secondaire Catholique Garneau from école Garneau. I checked, and there wasnt any other school on wikipedia with the name of Garneau. So i thought that not every one will put école secondaire catholique garneau, and even that citation wouldnt work, since i didnt put in the Capitol letters. Maybe we should add a redirect for école secondaire catholique garneau paat 20:05, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think you need a redirect for lower-case, as I *think* a search will still work (test it, and if I'm wrong, then go ahead).  Also, of more value would be a redirect for an unaccented letter "e".  --Rob 23:31, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  K. thanks Rob. I just finished the Page for in french, and I'll get to the redirect page right now. paat 03:03, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: French Version need expansion

message: Yay!!! I'm soo happy. Next week, me and the rest of the editing team for the GuG review will meet up to finalize the new review! I've got a few reviews in there ( i think its supposed to be a 14-page review), and I did the cover page! When I get a copy of the new cover page, I must add it into this page. But what will the copyright be? I'm really the author, but its for the whole user group, so i dont think i get individual copyrights.... I know the teacher wouldn't hate that the cover page is on wikipedia, but i guess i should still put the right copyright... what do you think? paat 23:32, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Garneau is the school in which my dad attended when he was in hight school. We find a few teachers present there today who attended the school as students themselves in there younger days. We find a various range of teachers from old to young. All teachers have there advantages and disadvantages just like many schools. Suking up to the teacher is always a good choice ;) The students at Garneau get along well. AS a current student there myself i have to agree with my last statement. No one is denied in the school. Shure we all have our groups of friends and those are the ones we spend most of our time with but we are no scared to stop anyone in the hallway and talk to them, we all get along quite well. Our teachers resêct us just as we should respect them. AS much as i can't wait to graduate i hate to think of leaving it all behind. Remembering visitors come to school and ask for directions....I never think they make it to there destination before asking 5 students. The colorful lockers, the windows leting us see into the gym, the carpet steps we sit on at lunch and before school are all part of what makes Garneau, Garneau. I have to agree that the school is falling apart, the roof leakes and it is slowly sinking on one end but its all part of its uniqueness and history. Having instaled smart boards in almost every class, the students had a chance to leave there mark, they signed the bricks of the school. In the past students where asked to decorate the science classes, paint the walls as well as part of the hallway. It all adds up. We also find 2 rabits (one called moufasaa) and a lizard (Ginette). Shure everything is upside down and its not easy to go up so many stair everyday but I do not regret being where i am now. I love my school and wouldnt want to be anywhere els :) GA GARN GARNEAU LETS GO GARNEAU !!!!! proud to be golois :)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.241.79.52 (talk) 22:13, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
