Talk:St John's College, University of Sydney

message: There have been a lot of additions to this article recently but very few are sourced. For example, there is now a long list of alumni, but how do we know that these people were alumni? We need references. In some cases, there could be a reference in an article about the person, but few of the alumni listed have articles. In the case of Tony Abbott, there is a sentence there saying he was at St John's and it has a reference at the end of the sentence. That reference confirms much of the sentence but not the St John's bit. Other sections are also missing sources, so I added a tag for the whole article, not just the alumni stuff. --Bduke 02:13, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I started this article a long time ago after staying in the College for a conference and being surprised that there was no article on it. It has come a long way since then. Congratulations to all concerned. Nevertheless, the point I made above five months ago still stands. This article needs many more references. If you were to put it forward for good article status you would be told that pretty firmly. Apart from the lack of references I think it deserves to be a "good article" or even a featured article. --Bduke 23:13, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

None of these are used in the article now, and none of them have any descriptions, nor do their filenames make any sense, so it's a little confusing as to what they are. They could be moved to Commons if we knew what they were. Any help would be appreciated. howcheng  {chat} 20:59, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

message: As someone who has studied Latin, I couldn't help but notice that the translation provided is quite distant from the original text. A better translation would be "In vain without the Lord", since that's the exact meaning of the words. What are everyone else's thoughts on this? (Huey45 (talk) 12:18, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Can you please add the paragraph below
The College has had a change in governing legislation in recent years with the “St John’s College Act 2018” replacing the St John’s College Act 1857 on 2 July 2018. Under the new legislation, the College Council will now have 13 members including the Rector, reduced from the original 18 members. 
to appear following this paragraph.
Government of the College is vested in the College Council by the 1857 Act of Incorporation The Council consists of the Rector and eighteen Fellows, six of whom must be Catholic clergy. The Catholic Archbishop of Sydney, currently the Most Rev. Anthony Fisher, takes the role of Visitor of the College. This is a largely ceremonial role, but he can also be called on to give guidance and resolve internal disputes. Under the direction of the Archbishop as Visitor, the College associates itself with the interests of the Church and its mission, particularly by the fostering of appropriate academic directions in education, charity, social justice, ethics and the environment.[5]

replies: text: Not done for now: This request is too long; it’s difficult to discern what you want changed and where you want it changed. Additionally, although you have listed sources, some are improperly cited (see the errors on your references), and it’s unclear where each piece of information is coming from. This could be a good contribution - just condense and clarify it a bit, then reopen the request. — Tartan357 (Talk) 06:16, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
