Talk:List of Old Sydneians

message: Would it be a good idea to list the sources where we found that these people are Old Sydneians under a references heading? Just an idea. If this page is put together well enough it may well be worth considering nominating it for a featured list. --mdmanser 08:47, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's always a good idea to list sources for any page on Wikipedia. It is the only way our work can be considered as reliable as Brittanica etc. There are some good books about SGS that refer to famous old boys. There's even one just for those who fought in WWI and WWII called College Street Heroes according to my knowledge. GizzaChat © 12:43, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah I've heard of those, and that's probably a start. But I know there's a long list at Cricket.com.au. Would that be a reliable source if it was to be included under references during an RFA?. --mdmanser 13:24, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If the notable OS's mentioned are cricketers, then I am sure it is. GizzaChat © 07:04, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sources 

message: I'm making an effort to reference each person with a link stating that they were educated at Sydney Grammar School. This is so that the article is more credible, and helps push it towards a featured list nomination. I do, however, feel that there are a few things that may prevent this list from ever getting featured:
* The list is very "point of view". What defines "famous." There are hundreds of possible candidates to get on this page if we simply go by a weak definition. We need to have some sort of qualification system for including people on here, such as an existing Wikipedia entry or a biography on another internet page.
* The layout is poor - should we make the list in the form of a table and include a column stating when that person attended Grammar?
* Perhaps we should change the page title to "notable" rather than "famous."
Any opinions? --mdmanser 05:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Notable is a better word. Simon Hannes in the business section for example, is infamous not famous since he's a criminal. For notability, anyone with a Wiki page and/or can be supported with refs and will page WP:BIO. If someone can pass WP:BIO but doesn't have a page yet, we will create it, hopefully good enough to be a DYK. GizzaChat © 07:52, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Featured List Consideration 

message: I doubt if we can this info online. We'll need some books. GizzaChat © 04:18, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Class years 

message: Current Attorney General of New South Wales Bob Debus and Shadow Attorney General Andrew Tink were teacher and student at SGS, respectively.
Unfortunately no longer. Debus is moving onto federal politics, Tink has retired from politics.
