[edit] OK... who has gone and fucked up this page??
It is utterly shagged! I blame Rennie from the kitchen... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.163.130.242 (talk) 17:14, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- Obviously someone who would claim to be from St. Ann's College [1]. A pity that the good work done by many can be ruined by one. From reading the new information it seems highly likely that it was entirely copied from the College website. ABVS1936 (talk) 02:39, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Word to the wise
You may be aware that the St Mark's College page was recently nominated for deletion (the result was keep). As a result of the nomination, many references were added and a significant amount of "cruft" removed in order to ensure the page complied with Wikipedia's guidelines (WP:VERIFY and WP:NOTE specifically). The other SAAUCC pages could do with much of the same sort of cleaning up if they are to avoid problems like this too, as they are presently less referenced and more crufty than the St Mark's page was prior to the AfD. Happy to help if someone at the college can point me in the direction of sources.--Yeti Hunter 04:33, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
I think you ought to reference the college history that was published a while ago - St Ann's College : the first fifty years 1947-1997 by Pauline Payne ; edited by Margaret Adams and Rosemary Brooks Published: North Adelaide : St Ann’s College ; c1998. I'm not being lazy by not adding it myself, just new to Wiki and don't know exactly where it goes.
[edit] "Through Learning Light"
Surely this motto actually means "Through the light of Learning" or "Through learning to Enlightenment" or something like that. Can't find it anywhere on the net though. Does someone at the college want to add it? I'll take your word for it.--Yeti Hunter 23:20, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
More than likely but I could only find out what each word means not how to construct in. My Latin is non existent, but I will find out some time when I get around to reading the history of Anns. Scott 192.43.227.18 05:45, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Copyvio infringement
I just reverted about 15 edits by 192.43.227.18 - most of which was a direct copyvio from the St Ann's College Website. Please dont give potential trolls any ammunition with which to delete this page (see above). If you want to add back the information, PLEASE write it in your own words and include relevent citations, preferably from sources other than the Website (though this is not essential). Cheers, DNFTT,--Yeti Hunter 00:24, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Ok I understand, slightly annoying (considering some of the web page are my own words!), but I understand. Cheers Scott 192.43.227.18 05:47, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Logo stanns.gif
Image:Logo stanns.gif 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.

[edit] Copyvio history section
this is part of what was reverted as a copyvio:
History The College was established in 1939 and affiliated with the University of Adelaide as a non-denominational university college for women. It opened to students in 1947 after the war. In 1973 the Council decided that the College should be co-residential, and there are now approximately equal numbers of male and female students. The original property at 187 Brougham Place was bequeathed by Mr Sidney Wilcox. The adjoining premises at 191 Brougham Place, 292 and 298 Melbourne Street were later acquired and a spacious dining hall and common room built in 1961. The latter were named in recognition of the service to the College of Dr Helen Mayo. Following the 2001-4 construction of the Dame Roma Mitchell Building and major refurbishments, most student rooms have an ensuite bathroom and air conditioning; all have high-speed internet access.
Should probably be included, if someone (not me, not now) can be bothered.--Yeti Hunter (talk) 06:47, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
