Talk:St Columb's College

message: The bulk of the article comes verbatim from the History of St Columb's College at the St Columb's website, and is also copyrighted at Lost School Friends Ireland. As the diff was posted from , an IP address with a repeated history of abuse, it doesn't look likely it was posted with permission. 86.140.108.154 03:37, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The default on Wikipedia is to assume articles are copyrighted unless definite proof of permission exists, and an anonymous assertion won't do. An e-mail from St Columb's would be good. If you simply revert, it'll go to the formal copyvio procedure; believe me, that takes forever. Tearlach 18:50, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

text: Many of the people you deleted have articles, whilst I am not passing judgement on their merit (indeed you may have a valid case - my initial belief was that your deletion was simply agenda driven deletion) your best option would first be to sumitt an WP:AFD request for articles which you believe are superficial rather than simply deleting the links which serves little long-term purpose.

thread_title: Deletion

message: I have been debating with Eog1916 as to whether or not St. Columb's should be referred to as an English-medium school on my talk-page, as he believes, and so his edits of the article would confirm, that it should be. What do others think? Danny InvincibleTalk|Edits 19:43, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems odd to me too, they've edited a great many articles on schools in Northern Ireland to call them "English-medium", which doesn't really fit in with his own article on English-medium schools. As you pointed out Danny, his article refers to schools built up to 1870 in the Ulster region, that doesn't include the editing he has done of late. But more importantly, it would seem to assert that the school uses a language not in common use in the country the school is built in. I might suggest Eog has a bee in his bonnet about Irish language, but I am satisfied to note that unless English is replaced overnight as the main language (official or not) of Northern Ireland, to edit this article and others to remove the reference to English-medium teaching. What clinches it is his article on the Bunscoil an Iúir, an Irish-medium school, this is specifically pointed out in the article to show that Irish-medium teaching is in a distinct minority. Since most of Northern Irish life is in English Medium, I am removing the mentions of "English Medium" where I see them Alastairward 18:26, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: The college as an '[[English-medium]]' school

message: It seemed to me that, as per normal British and Irish English conventions, this should be "St Columb's College", and a check of the Web site showed that the U.S.-style full stop doesn't appear in the main logo.  Are there any objection to moving and editing it accordingly? --Mel Etitis  (Talk) 11:29, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I've removed the head boy entry in the infobox. There have been at least 6 months of edit warring over which name to list, and there is no source. I can't tell which name is correct, so I've removed it. Please provide a source when the correct name is replaced. Meters (talk) 18:17, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
