Talk:Hawks' Club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This would be a better article if it was written from a neutral point of view. State facts about the club only. Eclipsed 21:33, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
- It would be even better if huge chunks of it weren't word-for-word identical to an article on the Club's own website. I can only get at its Google cache and not the website itself so haven't listed it as a copyvio, but have a look at this. Loganberry (Talk) 14:27, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

- I don't think the fact that it's only in the Google cache should deter you from listing it as a copyvio. However, it's worth checking whether the author of the website is the same as the author of the Wikipedia article, or has given / would give permission under an appropriate licence. The Wikipedia article is presumably written by an insider, so this is certainly possible. Stephen Turner 15:21, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

- A full month has now gone by with no response from Peteyboo, so I'm now listing it on the Copyvio page. Loganberry (Talk) 13:57, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

- The club website is at www.hawksclub.co.uk and the text referred to is indeed taken verbatim from http://www.hawksclub.co.uk/public/notice.asp?n=4. You will notice that the website does display "Copyright 2003" - I suggest emailing steward@hawksclub.co.uk as he will be in the best position to advise you on how to proceed.

I notice the line about the 2004-5 President and Secretary was removed by 86.138.232.225 - not sure whether this was because the information is now out-of-date or whether you don't think this information should be there. I have added the equivalent information for 2005-6. If this isn't a suitable thing to put in the main body of the text I could put together a new section listing past Presidents and Secretaries (probably only the last 5 years or so though) in the style of the Cambridge Union Society.

I have added a number of notable members, and added post-nominal letters to those who have them, except for members of the royal family where the list of honours/titles is so long as to make the entry look silly. Rmbyoung 19:08, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rename article
I propose that this article be renamed from Hawks Club to Hawks' Club. That is the form of the name used in the vast majority of cases on the website. I think the intention might be for the apostrophe to be slightly ambiguous - it appears as Hawks Club, Hawk's Club and Hawks' Club in different places in the clubhouse... However, the last version is the most common and appears on any official things associated with the Club. Rmbyoung 01:38, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
- This has now been done. Rmbyoung 22:40, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
