[edit] Photos of PLC Students

i think that the photos of the plc sydney and armidale students should be removed as they are under the age of 18 and it could be a danger to their safety. i also think that adding the number of staff at the school would be an interesting feature. -a plc student —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.45.121.176 (talk • contribs) 17:42, 6 August 2006 (UTC).

I agree with this, i know one of the girls in that photo and they weren't even aware that they were on the website. -plc student —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 143.238.104.246 (talk • contribs) 18:51, 7 August 2006 (UTC).

I have removed the image Image:ArmidaleSydney.jpg from the PLC Sydney and PLC Armidale articles. It wasn't displaying very well at that size anyway. Blarneytherinosaur 01:21, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PLC Sydney/PLC Armidale alliance

I was just curious as to how I could alter the 'PLC Sydney/PLC Armidale Alliance' section so that it complies to Wiki rules? The announcement by Jeof Falls is the only one I have been able to find that clearly outlines the importance and details of this alliance. Is it necessary to alter his statement? I would appreciate some input so as to improve the quality of this article. 203.206.240.186 03:17, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I should have explained my reasons for tagging that section.
Obviously you can't alter the statement, although you don't need to quote all of it. It is a good idea to write our own analysis of events, based on available sources, rather than quoting a source word for word. Here's why:
Like all good press releases, this quote is not written in the neutral point of view. I don’t think we need to repeat the unsourced advertising-like sections such as:
"one of our country’s most experienced and successful Principals"
"so that these fine schools can further develop their existing high level of academic and co-curricular achievements"
If this quote represents a notable development in the history of the two schools, the most pertinent part of the newsletter article could be included. Some description of the background and effect of the decision may also be included, where necessary citing Mr Falls, but not quoting verbatum. Blarneytherinosaur talk 03:16, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

I have attempted to remove the advertising like content from this section. Would appreciate if someone could check it and decide whether or not it now complies. Thanks. Loopla 07:35, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the hard work head on, Loopa. A nice bit of editing without compromising the integrity of the quote. Fantastic work. Blarneytherinosaur talk 09:44, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment

The previous assessment was:

This article needs a major trimming and reorg. Six of the ten inline references are duplicates and the reference section should be made inline. Much of the information is only of local interest. Adam McCormick 04:35, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I am now re-assessing this article as B / High per a request. This is a strong article which should now be considered close, if not already at GA class - a peer review will be required to take the article to this higher rating. This article is well referenced with no obvious weaknesses. I have changed the importance to high due to the extensive history of the school and large amount of alumni.

[edit] Infobox

I think the infobox used in this article is far superior to the Australian Private School one (Template:Infobox Aust school private) that is apparently supposed to be used. In my opinion, the Austschoolprivate one is not overly suitable to schools like P.L.C (and the AHIGS and GSV schools), and it doesn't look as nice either. Must all of the large number of Aust private school articles using the infobox in this article be changed to the inferior one when the existing one works just nicely?? It all seems a bit rediculous to me. Thoughts, opinions?? Loopla 16:07, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

This should be brought up at the talk page of the Aust School Private template. Twenty Years 16:48, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
