[edit] Scotch College, Perth

I have a self nominated this article, because I believe this is of a high standard. It is already featured on the schools portal. SELF NOM --Hamedog^Talk|@ 13:01, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

• Object Have it peer-reviewed first. Daniel Case 18:20, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

It was. Look at the talk page --Hamedog^Talk|@ 23:01, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

OK, but since it was such a while back, you should have put a link here. I couldn't find it otherwise. Daniel Case 21:15, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment The references are screwed up; the {{ref}} tags go in the text and the {{note}} tags go in the References section. AndyZ 20:33, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I did what you suggested and now they won't work.--Hamedog^Talk|@ 23:13, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, works now --Hamedog^Talk|@ 00:04, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Is chess really a sport? Some of the other lists should be converted to prose. AndyZ 01:36, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Object. The article has gotten a lot better since Hamedog took over its writing, but is still heavily list-dominated. We want prose in a Wikipedia-wide featured article, and given how hard its been to get school articles through FAC, only the best survive. Also, where is there anything speaking even critically, let alone negatively, about the school? No wrongs, ever? Nothing in the Perth press about high fees, or too exclusive? Just thought that needed to be noted. Harro5 21:01, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I couldn't actaully find anything like that on google. The only thing that springs to mind the the porn tape at PLC, a girls school scotch sometimes has socials with. --Hamedog^Talk|@ 09:02, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

• Object. Has many lists which should be converted into prose. Also, requires footnotes. It seems well on its way, but requires some more revision and probably another Peer Review sometime in the future. RyanGerbil10 23:08, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I have put some of the lists into seperate pages but I think if i was to remove the music and sports list it would take away from the article. --Hamedog^Talk|@ 09:02, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Object—Criterion 2a: the writing is uniformly mediocre. Tony 03:59, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment- I have converted some of the lists but not sure if I should change the rest as it means a sentance will probably be a list and this doesn't always look good. --Hamedog^Talk|@ 06:24, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
