Talk:College Historical Society

message: Right, I'm tired of reverting edits to the Hist and Phil pages. The text I try to insert is - in my opinion - neutral and fair-minded, at least compared to what others replace it with. I revert this page (and the Phil page) whenever petty attempts by either society are made to denigrate the other, or to unfairly boosterise themselves. I will say though that the Phil have been less energetic with the biased edits, but we've had them, and I've reverted them. Since both societies claim to be older, and both have a good claim, neither society's page should say that it is oldest, just that it claims to be oldest. Anything else is not NPOV. Check Wikipedia's policy document on NPOV for more details.
If anyone thinks they have a fairer text for the dating issue, please post it here. If not, please let mine stand for now.
Vandalism from each side on this issue makes both of the societies look chilish. Article6 15:46, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Does it realy make sense to have two different naming structures for the two prominant Trinity College societies? The Phil is called University Philosophical Society (Trinity College, Dublin) so it would seems logical to expect The Hist to have the same naming style as it has now. ww2censor 21:44, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That in itself shouldn't be a reason in itself, as they same reasoning could be used for renaming the other page. I'd be slightly against though, as there are other societies with names quite similar. William Quill 11:07, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Medallists

message: There is ambiguity in the laws regarding Officers being elected, and the debates convenor being an Officer. This has been shown from the editing wars regarding the DC which has gone on in this aricle.
Any suggestions on resolution?

message: There seems to be some doubt in some circles as to the name of this office. However if one were to be bold, as per wikipedia policy and read the Laws of the College Historical Sociaty CHAPTER IX  one would be left in no doubt!!!  Bogger (talk) 11:32, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Over the course of the history of the article all mention of the awarding of the Gold Medal has been removed. There is no explanation of what the Gold Medal is nor why it is awarded. The only remaining references are to a few individuals who have received the award. This is something that I feel should be corrected. IrishStephen (talk) 14:58, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
