[edit] Copyrighted information

I have removed the History section of the article, as it was copied from the website http://www.nudgee.com/Past%20Web/nc_tradition/tradition_intro.htm. ... discospinster 00:43, 25 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Tone

Tagged for tone and POV. It is not wikipedia's job to comment on how impressive or beautiful something is. At most, it should say it is regarded as impressive or beautiful. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Android93 (talkcontribs) 16:59, 19 October 2006 (UTC).


The phrases have been removed and instead replaced with facts. ie. The facade has been used in movies and tv adds no mention as to why it was used for those things. and the chappel has won design awards as oposed to beautiful.

Added NPOV due to article promoting the school in good terms, failing to mention varying negative aspects. Will be added in future.

[edit] International Collective

The Famous "International Collective" departed in 2000 after five years. This group is widely acknowledged as bringing about an end to the mob mentality which had plagued the school for much of the 1990s.

What on earth is the International Collective? And why is it famous? It is really notable at all? When will the questions end?.... Blarneytherinosaur talk 12:21, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

A figment of some students imagination. ObesAU 23:48, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

No big surprises there. Thanks for confirming that, ObesAU. Blarneytherinosaur talk 02:48, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

I have removed the NPOV tag - there may have been an issue in the past, but I can see nothing that could even remotely justify the tag now. Nothing in the article portrays the College in an unjustifiably positive light. If anyone can prove otherwise, then do so by all means. Cheers, Rob Lindsey 09:07, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Except for one possibly borderline term which I have toned down...just to make sure! ;) Rob Lindsey 09:10, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

If you look at the history that tag continually is getting put back in by a vandal that is just logged in via an IP. Surely there has to be some way of limiting anonymous and first time entries. A lot of the vandalism that goes on is slander is by first entry users or anonymous users. Because it gets stored in the history forever it causes many people a lot of grief because they are being attacked and have no way to defend themselves. ObesAU 23:40, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Cool, thanks for the pointer. I'm not too concerned about blocking vandals in this case... I'm taking on the task of protecting Christian Brothers schools articles from vandalism (as part of my pet Wikipedia interests), so if it happens again, it won't be up for long!

  • Oh, and to answer your comment, I suppose articles can be locked from editing by unregistered or new users (most featured articles are), but I understand that it's only for extreme cases. Rob Lindsey 00:06, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Great news. I have been staying on top of it as much as I can. And its good to see someone fixing up the CBC pages. ObesAU 09:06, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
  • "In the latter half of 2007, Nudgee College was voted by its fellow members of the GPS as the greatest GPS school through its achievements in the classroom, community and sporting field." - I seriously doubt it, as far as I know there is no award for the greatest GPS school and if there was, I doubt it'd be Nudgee. I'm not 100% sure but I think it should definitely be removed from the article. Thanks. 121.45.203.92 (talk) 06:51, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Agreed and removed. Thanks, Mattinbgn\talk 06:57, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
