Old Boys

Could you please make more effort to showing notability of old boys before creating a stub for them? Please do a little more to build quality not quantity. Each stub should independantly establish notability of the person mentioned. I know you would remove prods from these articles so I will take Kevin Paull for one to AfD. Being headmaster is not notable (see WP:PROF for some guidance). Other than that he was a board member (not the chairman, just a board member) at the Edmund Rice centre. If that is so important, why is the centre not mentioned at Edmund Rice Camps, if that is the same thing the board is not mentioned there and all board members (since 1981) would be equally notable for being on the board of the Edmund Rice centre.

Userfy articles

Some those articles that Garrie is listing are in very poor shape, you can ask to have them Userfied while you work on cleaning them up. Gnangarra 06:50, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know how to do this yourself? Are you happy to do this yourself, or do you want me to do this rather than take them to AfD? Sorry to say but Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kevin Paull was pretty scathing. Especially Heperian's comment leads me to consider a bulk AfD listing for many of the articles.

Starting a project

I think it would be a terrible idea. See Wikipedia:WikiProject reform for discussion on why WikiProjects with less than a thousand or so articles are discouraged. Excessively small ones are very strongly frowned upon.

If you really want to monitor and coordinate edits to PSA article, why don't you seen something up in your user space? I collaborated with User:Ghostieguide on convicts for ages; it wasn't a big enough project to warrant starting up a WikiProject, so we coordinated at User:Hesperian/Notes/Convicts. It worked well.

Uh, I don't think people would much like that idea. Not being a "real" WikiProject, I think it would be better if you approached editors directly, rather than advertising for them on talk pages. None of the convict pages contain any boxes pointing back to my user space - when I saw an user contributing to convict articles, I would let them know of the page and tell them to feel free to edit it.

No thanks, I've got enough projects to keep me out of trouble for a while, but if need a any help just ask. Gnangarra 14:22, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm pretty busy at the moment but I would be happy to help out where I can when I have time (eg proofreading, that sort of thing). Incidentally, DanielT5 and I are doing the same sort of thing as Hesperian's coordination with articles relating to the Wheatbelt region - it's at User:DanielT5/Wheatbelt Scope. The idea is that we are going to try and improve all of the articles to a given standard, then select some to push forward. That'll probably be my main content contribution to the Wiki for a couple of months until my outside life becomes less hectic. Orderinchaos78 22:41, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading Image:Front Of School.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. —Angr 08:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I whacked a logo copyright on it, as it is the logos of eight houses and therefore copyrighted under that fair use licence. You will need to review this however. Orderinchaos78 12:50, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Consider it done. :) Thanks for letting me know. Orderinchaos 10:32, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
