[edit] Methodist College Chess Club

I don't think this warrants a seperate page. On its own it is barely notable. I suggest redirecting the page to Methodist College Belfast and merging the contents, in a much more shortened form. Any thoughts? Stu ’Bout ye! 10:25, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

There may as well be sections on Clubs in Methody - Rugby, Cricket, Choir, Chess, Rowing etc. These are important parts of the school community and do add something of interest to the article. I think the Chess Club is too weighted toward the present though. Throughout it's existance we've won titles at all divisions and levels. It's the greatest acheivements that should be going into a summary like this. I am going to edit the page to reflect this I think. ZincAtari

My above comments referred to a seperare article that existed on the chess club. I've since merged the contents from that page here. Stu ’Bout ye! 07:44, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion and gossip about the current headmistress

We need to keep this objective, factual, and told from a Neutral point of view. Newspaper interviews need to be referenced.--feline1 21:51, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Wildly POV and probably libelous. I've removed it. Stu ’Bout ye! 08:02, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
The majority of this is actually true, and I would like to see it re-written NPOV with references. There are several newspaper stories available on the web that make reference to the current headmistress's unpopularity. e.g.

http://www.sundaylife.co.uk/news/story.jsp?story=697992 & http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/story.jsp?story=704789

I'm happy for the page to be changed to reflect what the Sunday Life article states, but the Telegraph one has been archived and I can't read it. It can't be used unless people can access it. I seriously doubt it mentions most of the accusations on the wiki article, the quotes especially. Stu ’Bout ye! 07:58, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Ah, she's been given the boot! Can I be the first to say: "Yeeeeeeeeooooooooow!" LOL --feline1 13:52, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
I've heard different stories; only official line is that she resigned, does any one have any info?

If you read her article, there is a link to the UTV page, and she was on TV. Im glad im not the only one who disliked her! Must add some information about Astronomy club.

[edit] Significance of both Chess and Astonomy Clubs

I would not consider the rather mundane success of both these clubs to merit such large sections on the Methodist College page. To balance the article, each club and society would therefore need to be given similar content. Otherwise it should be removed from the main school article or given its own page.
