[edit] Total schoolcruft

Could whoever is working on this article please go and read WP:Schoolcruft. IT sets out everything that a school can do wrong with an article, and provides some direction about what to not do.

To start with - if what is on this page cannot be referenced to a source not published by St Stannie's, then it probably doesn't need to be said here either. The acknowledgement, the aim, the goals, the mission statement - they all belong on the school website, not in an encyclopedia article about the school.

Secondly, the History section should not really include current events - "Other Vincentians who are currently part of the Bathurst Community but whose main apostolate centres on assisting parishes when priests are on leave include...."

If you cannot reference it, don't mention it. Garrie 04:41, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Two articles

This school currently has two articles, the other being St Stanislaus' College. Does anyone know how to fix this up?? Loopla 03:59, 20 June 2007 (UTC) St Stanislaus' College is now a redirect to St Stanislaus College (Bathurst). They both appeared to be identical. Garrie 05:38, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] sections removed

Please note: 1. When I removed the Acknowledgment, I moved the text to the History section. This is an encyclopedia: put your acknowledgement on your schools website, put historical information here. If you can find a source which says, the college has had a smoke ceremony to formally acknowledge the traditional owners, then put that in.

2. Please look at WP:NOT. Mission statements etc would come under WP:NOT#WEBSPACE. People discussing Stannie's mission statement would not comment on the individual elements - they would comment on the qualities of the students coming out of the school.

3. REFERENCE EVERYTHING OR I WILL REMOVE IT. And if the only thing left is the information I have added and referenced then I will redirect the article to Bathurst per WP:LOCAL.Garrie 05:18, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Loopla, GREAT WORK. especially with regards to the Notable alumni section, compared to the "Famous graduates" and "famous alumni" which was here before, as totally unreferenced & unverifiable information.Garrie 04:05, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

No worries. Hopefully people with a better understanding of the school could improve on this article (all referenced ofcourse). Stannies seems to have quite an interesting history. Loopla 04:36, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

As a former west of the mountains boarder - Stannies deserves a decent article. As a non-catholic, it won't be me writing it.Garrie 03:39, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
