[edit] st pats
The User: Robz0r keeps reverting my edits to this page. He has not contributed much to this article, while my edits have contibuted greatly to this aricle and I believe he should stop reverting my edits. Can somone please tell him to stop reverting my edits and to contribute to the article instead? Ivan Kricancic 13:21, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- Actually I tend to agree with his edits in the 'house' area. Better to use wikification rather than duplicating too much information. Create or update other pages as necessary. My edit will probably follow as a suggestion but I won't compete in a revert war :) And hi from a St Pat's (well, CBC) student from the early 70's --Bcsr4ever 13:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

- No. I think that the Houses section should have some info on the people they are named after. And if people want in depth info on the person, they can click the link Ivan Kricancic 04:00, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

- I disagree. The section is about 'sporting life' and the school houses.. It is not a section on History, which is where such entries would belong (especially Edmund Ignatius Rice). Simple information, such as what the houses actually represent (for example year 12 boys, etc) and who they are named after with a link would be sufficient. Duplicating info is uneccessary as the information about these people is only a click away for those wishing to know more. Here the reader is likely more interested in the sporting activities of the school rather than biographies of persons who are not actually connected with sporting activities. They have little need to click on additional information since you have likely included more biographical information than they want (since they are reading about sporting activities) and yet omit other information which may be more relevant, such as what class compromises year 12 grls. If you have additional biographical information about these persons then you can add that to the appropriate articles. Also it's probably worth looking at wikipedia as a collaborative effort rather than trying to write articles alone as you would with a personal web site. I personally vote for less biographical information in the description of the sporting houses :) --Bcsr4ever 05:32, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

- Well it's not really a "duplication" of their articles, it's more of a summary. Maybe there should be a little less info but I think some is needed, as some users may not want to read a huge article about someone, but just get some backround info on who the Houses are named after. I do think it is relevant to have info about the people the houses are named after and you are more than welcome to just make it have a little less if you want. This is Wikipedia. On another topic, I don't suppose you have anymore information to add to the history section, as what is already there is quite brief and was taken mainly from what me and robz0r can remember from a speech done by Mr Brown at the start of year 11 (mayber you know him).

- Perhaps a short summary is okay, but these, to me, seem too long (personal opinion). I don't have any more on history, sorry, but this is probably an area which could use a little more. I'll see what I can dig up. --Bcsr4ever 12:27, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article
I must say, that since I checked this article last, I am very impressed with the way it has developed. Great work. --rob.mck. 11:35, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
