If i recall, Vimes, and possibly Vetrinari, were both removed from open commisions. i'm going to check the source, and then update. 68.37.187.220 16:59, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC)

This article says that being dress black at night isn't the best camoflauge. Which color is better? /NoNo 23:59, 16 Jan 2005

In Night Watch, young Vetinari explores a whole range of colours much better for camoflauge, such as dark green and grey.

[edit] Rincewind has a price on his head???

Since when? From whom? I read all of the Discworld but Science of Discworld 3 and I don't remember that. I guess it is from the Assassin' Guild diary. Could someone please tell me if there's any explanation attached? Thanks

Yeah, it's from the diary. No explanation of who comissioned it (presumably someone whose path he crossed at high speed), but it says assassins are discouraged from carrying out the comission because, quite apart from the Luggage, "something" seems to be protecting him... --Daibhid C 1:06 17 December 2005.

[edit] Co-educational?

Can anyone provide a reference for this?

I'm pretty certain that it's a 'boys-only' institution, female lecturers notwithstanding chrisboote 13:29, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Also from the Diary, and confirmed in Night Watch, which featured a student assassin named Jocasta Wiggs. It was boys-only in Pyramids and the Diary describes this as a recent development. Daibhid C 16:38, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] School Rules

I've removed the "school rules" section from the article, which contained the following:

  • No boy is to keep any type of lizard in his room.
  • No boy is to build a deadfall in his room.

This is obviously not a complete list of rules, but rather a selection of a couple that are mentioned in the books. They don't really add anything worthwhile to the article, and in my opinion the section interrupts the article's flow. So I was bold and deleted it.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mr Teatime.jpg

Image:Mr Teatime.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
