Talk:New College, University of New South Wales

Named after what?

Is New College really named after New College, Oxford? I thought it was named after the body that founded it, namely the New University Colleges Council (established 1960). There is an article on the history of the college's founding at sydneyanglicans.net and also the official website. Journeyman 23:48, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Seeking a sponsor/volunteer editor

Hi, I am currently working for New College in the Public Relations department so I have a conflict of interest and can't edit this page or any associated topics. However, I would love to work with a volunteer to get this page up to scratch as well as potentially create some new pages regarding past Masters, CASE and the New College Lectures. If there is anyone who is keen to work together to make this happen I'd love to hear from you! New College has an exciting history and I'm sure together we can create something really interesting :) --Ralahar (talk) 05:18, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Third party references

I'm going to be posting third party references here for those who are working on the page. Under each heading I have either written the information in a sentence/paragraph with the corresponding reference/s in bullet form. The table lists New College Lecturers and includes wikilinks as well as resulting published works.

• Comment - The first of these two books is published by New College, and is in no way an independent source, and besides, the sentence above appears to be a standard description from the publisher (New College), not written by the author of the book. This book should not be used as a reference. The second book is also not an independent source, but is a little better because it was prepared by a professional historian. He worked at the University, but still I think bare facts from this book should be okay.—Anne Delong (talk) 07:39, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

• Comment - This list is ordered to make the present master seem most important - it should be chronologically ordered instead. Most of these references are not independent, or are not publications. I started a history section with some of this information, as a start to changing this from an ad for the college into an encyclopedia article, which doesn't promote ideas or people.—Anne Delong (talk) 07:39, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Ralahar. I have made some comments above about various items here. I have no opinion about whether this list of lectures should be added.—Anne Delong (talk) 07:39, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
