replies: text: Yeah? Well there is no substantiation that any of the cited alumni or staff ever went to the school--and I'm sure the same applies to all schools in Wikipedia. Let's remove 'em all, eh?! Or, preferably, let's get real, please. --Bjenks 15:29, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Citing Sources

message: The article states in the notable alumni section: "Andrew Chan - convicted drug trafficker, a member of the "Bali 9", Chan was at Homebush Boys High School till year 10." Achievement in what? Is there a more appropriate category to place this piece of info?Pristine 08:38, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes indeed. Together with the thug Roger Rogerson, Chan should be either removed altogether or placed under a more meaningful heading, like Notorious convicted criminals or Negative newsmakers. --Bjenks 09:18, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Achievement of public prominence in various fields of endeavour 

message: OK, will someone please unprotect this article and search/correct these typos: recogonised, Certifiate, 'team were runners up'. Also, here's one OB who remembers a couple more notable staff:-- Olympian oarsman Dave Anderson and NSW and Test leg-spin bowler Peter Philpott, during the 1950s. Notable Alumni should also include André Frankovits, former Executive Director, Human Rights Council of Australia, and Emeritus Professor Richard Collins,  the former Head of Physics at the University of Sydney.

message: Having looked at various guidelines, I feel obliged to disclose that I attended HBHS for three years in the 1950s and will therefore refrain from making any further contributions to this article  on potential POV grounds. In any event, it has not been the most productive editing experience I have had with Wikipedia. Cheers Bjenks (talk) 01:26, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for your comments, if you wish to add reliably cited information in future you are welcome. I have to say that I've encountered this issue before on school articles, people wanting to add lots of names to alumni list. Michellecrisp (talk) 01:29, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
