It still needs more referencing to reach the "Good Article" level IMHO, though perhaps the nature of the subject means independent verifiable sources will be tricky-ish to find. Try to give web links to references where possible, e.g. for recent newspaper articles. This makes the references much more useful to the reader as the source material is only a click away....

Contents 1 Tolkien 2 Multiple Newman Societies 3 Oldest society? 4 Fair use rationale for Image:BRIDESHEAD.jpg

[edit] Tolkien

J. R. R. Tolkien spoke to the Newman Society in the 1880s? This was quite an achievement for the precocious Tolkien who was not born until 1892. Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 14:58, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Multiple Newman Societies

I understand from the John Henry Newman article's discussion page that there's more than one Newman Society in Oxford, and that OUNS is in dispute with a society that claims to have continuity with the historic Newman Society. This is an interesting development, and one that's worthy of note in this article. Countersubject 15:18, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oldest society?

"The Oxford University Newman Society (est. 1878) is arguably Oxford University's oldest student society,"

Can any interested editor support this statement? Both OICCU and OUMS appear to precede it. 79.73.100.28 00:19, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BRIDESHEAD.jpg

Image:BRIDESHEAD.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
