[edit] Terry Wogan

Someone keeps adding Terry Wogan as a past pupil. Odd since he was born and raised in Limerick and there is no boarding in Belvedere.

Not really, he went to Belvedere in 5th and 6th year. Have a look in his auto biography. Got out of limerick as soon as he could!

Terry Wogan went to Belvedere.

he was a star of the belvedere debating team

[edit] Belvedere Science

Is there anything that can be added to the science paragraph? Should we include the names of the students?

[edit] Belvedere Crest

Someone has deleted the Belvedere Crest and motto from the top right hand corner of the page. Is there any way to recover it?

This image can be used:

I don't know why it was deleted. It's not great quality and would probably be best to scan in a high resolution version. Curtains99 14:24, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Only In God"

I attended Belvedere from 1982 to 1991 and never heard this particular song. When did it become popular?

I attended Belvedere from 1998 to 2004 and it was one of the first Rugby related songs I heard Takeshi316 21:43, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

It was popularised by the class of 1995 during a senior cup campaign.

[edit] Alumni

Names keep on getting added here which may be notable but which do not have Wiki entries, nor any citations of notability given. I have removed the following : John Gerard Campbell; Paul Robert Duffy; Fionan Murphy; David Ryan; Karl Mullen - on the basis that there is nothing cited for them, and none of them have a Wikipedia entry of their own. The only one I've heard of is Karl Mullen. I appreciate that a presence on Wikipedia should not be a minimum requirement, but when such a presence is lacking, I think there should be some kind of indication of notability by another means. --Wastekiller 12:01, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Belvedere Classification

This section has been removed by user Mjss3. I thought it was useful, neutral information, although it might have been a bit more concise. Any thoughts? Curtains99 10:05, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

useful to whom?

The class naming system is a notable feature of the school. Please sign your comments by adding 4 tildes at the end of your comments (~~~~). Curtains99 13:46, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] First paragraph too long and unstructured

I have tagged the article for cleanup. Curtains99 10:05, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

It's one line.

You're right. I meant to say the lead section before the contents pane is too long. Have a look at WP:IA for guidelines or any featured article to see that lead-in sections should not be this long. I will restore the cleanup tag. Curtains99 13:49, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
