replies: text: It also occurs to me that listing recent (and only the good) HSC results goes against WP:NPOV. If you list the full results (ie, use band distribution so that people can see the full range of results) then it wouldn't go against WP:NPOV. Also, simply being true and independently verifiable does not make it encyclopaedic. And as I stated just above, it is a form of self-promotion of SGGHS, which is also against WP:NOT#SOAP.

message: I think it's irrelevant. "The grade is given full artistic license to this annual event, from the script-writing process, casting, directing, and acting." That is not one bit true. Well, it's half true.  But anyway, the Mock Assembly is not even an official event. — *Hippi ippi 00:06, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Two issues here: first, I don't think the school hymn is necessary as it is rarely used (and most of the students have never even heard of it). I'm removing it.
Secondly, while I have cleaned up the alumni section by finding a source, I cannot help but wonder if the people cited are "important enough" to be mentioned. They may have a sentimental value to the school, however, most of them are red-linked.
Thanks--Welcome to the dark side. (talk) 14:01, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed the song also, per Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/Article guidelines#School songs.2C school hymns and fight songs. As far as alumni, you are right- the guideline is more strict than "sentimental value to the school"; you did a great job finding basic sources, with alumni, several things are needed. First, the alumni needs to be tied to the school, and then if they don't have an article of their own (ie their name is red), the guidelines for notability need to be established with reliable and verifiable sources- in other words, more than something from the school or alumni association. tedder (talk) 16:17, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks again. I'm not really sure what to do about the 3 red-links. Angelspitseems to have its own page and they seem to have been going on for a long time...that makes her kind of notable? Well she is notable in Australia and New Zealand. I'm not sure so I'll let you do as you wish with the red-links.--Welcome to the dark side. (talk) 01:09, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I think we need a new history section. Let's beat tech. Can someone please do some research and find out about the school's roots - it's almost 100 years old there must be some history to it. We don't want to live in the depths of anonymity forever do we?--Welcome to the dark side. (talk) 14:56, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
