[edit] Moving page to list of former students of Fort Street High School

I am changing to "List of Former Students of Fort Street High School", as the convention of "old fortians" is merely a PR stunt by schools to make themselves sound more prestigious than they actually are. It is unfair on non-elite schools who do not have a "title" for their alumni.

The convention on Wikipedia is to use the school's preferred term: see List of Old Sydneians and other such lists. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 08:57, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

As a matter of convention, Wikipedia prefers usage of the school's own name for its alumni whenever these are established and reliable. Please stop cut-and-paste moving. If there is ever a consensus for a move, do it properly. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 11:06, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
