[edit] Rating

I hate having to point this out, but as this article was not submitted to GAC and passed, it has not attained GA status. This is a technical, not a merit, issue - while rankings up to B are project ratings, GA is a community rating and allows meaningful input from a wider selection of the community. I have checked the last 1,500 edits at WP:GAC to come to this conclusion. The rating was introduced by this edit on 27 February 2007. If you disagree, you are more than free to raise an objection at Good Article Review, or to submit it for consideration at Good Article Candidates. I suggest reading What is a good article? and making sure each point there has been addressed (it's actually more readable than the Featured Article one, so quite easy to follow.)

I thought it was A-class, not B. Auroranorth (WikiDesk) 11:57, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Auroranorth is correct, before it was rated GA-Class it was A-Class, so i will revert it back to its original rating of A-Class, if there are any objections, please post them here or on my talk page. SMBarnZy 03:20, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I have decided to revert what i did, and leave it to someone with some real experience. SMBarnZy 03:22, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Good decision ;-) I think B is about right, perhaps B+ if there was such a thing. The GA reviewer could conceivably move it to GA - its certainly not a long way off. Best to be patient and wait for your turn in the queue. —Moondyne 03:33, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

BTW, its never had an "original rating of A-Class". It was only when Auroranorth decided to update it here [1] that it changed. —Moondyne 03:45, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removal - Notable Alumni

• Matthew Cowcher — Recipient of Fogarty Foundation Scholarship to UWA - not very notable scholarship (about 3 years old) - his brother (Jeremy Cowcher) won the same scholarship the year previous. SMBarnZy 11:05, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possible New Articles

• Salter Point Campus - an article on the Aquinas College propery, including the Mount Henry area, City of South Perth plans for the site (along the river), ovals, structures, westpoint facility
• Edmund Rice Administration Wing - this article is heritage listed, but we also need to weave in a few extra facts and interestng pieces of information to make it "Notable"
• Headmasters - some of the notable headmasters that the college has had. Smbarnzy 12:36, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CBC Perth Site Plaque - Removal

I couldnt find a place for this image in the article

this is an important image in relation to the college, and i would like to put it into the History section, possibly in the "college split" section, and then have the foundation stone in "post split" im not sure at the current time. Smbarnzy 12:20, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notable Alumni

• Peter Durack QC was dux of the college (but i dont remember what year - he is already listed on here)
• Eddie Whitnall (not sure how to spell it) is like "high-up" in the Gypsy Jokers or one of those bikie clubs in Perth i was told, he went to AC. Buti cant find a reference for it. SMBarnZy 03:17, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

naaa,

I don't think the pages are needed. The subjects are too specific and small to be useful

[edit] Logo /Crest

The school logo is described in the article yet, there is the cb logo. The cb logo is also with the section labelled "foundation" even though there is the foundation stone image ( above) available talk to symode09's or Reveiw Me! 05:15, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

The school logo should only be used once in the article and it is used in the infobox, and the school logo is an adapatation of the former christian brothers congregational crest and therefore we have that image in the coat of arms section. Please see your talk page Symode09. SMBarnZy 05:18, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

"It was suggested on the talk page that we do not use the schools logo twice within the same article" I disagree and even if I am wrong, why is the cb logo on a page about aquinas?

talk to symode09's or Reveiw Me! 05:19, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

The CBC logo? that is on the page because Aquinas was originally established in 1894 and was named Christian Brothers College, Perth - read the article to find out more, that why its there. Having the same image twice (i have been told) will not let this article go to FA. When we had the canning river image twice, we got done for that in Peer Review, by hamedog i believe SMBarnZy 05:23, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Lovely number of references. Has quite a number of one sentence paragraphs that need to be merged together. Overall, certainly a good article. PhoenixTwo 17:17, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notable Alumni

• Trevor Flugge - Past president of the Australian Wheat Board [2] made article SMBarnZy 10:18, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
• Jono Fievez - Rowing National Senior A Team - [3]

I would like to see external sources cited for the Alumni section to give it more firepower, it also doesnt harm in extending the references. SMBarnZy 12:40, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
