Talk:Adelaide High School

Selective?

Is Adelaide High selective entry? Sfdasfr 05:55, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Not sure what you mean here. The school is a state high school with a catchment area in which there are no selection criteria. Also has a language, rowing and sibling entry system for others - Peripitus (Talk) 11:35, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I mean Melbourne High School selects its students via entrance examination. North Sydney Boys High School also does this. Does Adelaide High do this? Sfdasfr 06:00, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes and No. For students inside the catchment area there is no exam. For outside the catchment there is one and, if you pass and are accepted, a requirement on minimum length of time you study languages for. - Peripitus (Talk) 06:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Other site uses

I want to add other uses of the Adelaide High site (both historic and current) to the entry, but have had examples removed. Would Wikipedians support such additions if they were in a supplementary list? I'm not going to put the effort in again without feedback and support. And by that I mean not just from the school itself, but also uses which the school and I can include in the upcoming centenary history book. ...MartinSFSA (Talk) 09:30, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

this edit is the one being referred to ...maelgwntalk 08:46, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Dr Who fan club.... other uses of the school ... perhaps not in the article. Better to add uses of the schools land before the school was built, information on the recent demolition of the old-scholars sports building and so on rather than what is usually regarded as spamvertising - Peripitus (Talk) 08:51, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Dirt Playground

No idea if they're notable or not (define this), but the reference belongs in students. MartinSFSA 06:17, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

The article on the band got speedily deleted. Showing the lack of notability. WP:NOTE is the normal guideline. With respect to notable alumni sections - this serves as an appropriate guideline as well. :: maelgwntalk 06:53, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

It is now but was still there on first revision--how do you tell without the direction of a Wiki editor? MartinSFSA 07:36, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry - I dont follow. When I saw the article it had a very large header saying that it had been nominated for speedy deletion with a reason. They tend to dissapear rather quickly after they are tagged like that.(WP:Speedy has more stuff on speedy deletion. :: maelgwn - talk 08:20, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

This is in line with consensus; it's not one person determining the notability of something.MartinSFSA 09:02, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Adelaidehighschool.jpg

Image:Adelaidehighschool.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Neil Page

Regarding the addition of Neil Page, which was added with the edit summary " Is notable & redlinked for future article". First, WP:WTAF. Second, the section already suffers from severe lack of sources, per WP:NLIST ("every entry in any such list requires a reliable source attesting to the fact that the named person is a member of the listed group.") and this is adding another person lacking such a source. --Muhandes (talk) 09:36, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

As no response was given for a week I am removing it again. --Muhandes (talk) 19:04, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Was added again, which is fine as the article was created. But a source verifying membership in the list was not given. I tagged all the list appropriately.--Muhandes (talk) 13:55, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
