SAJC and blogging[edit]

Is the issue about SAJC students being suspended by their principal for blogging nasty stuff about their teachers news-worthy enough to add it to the section? Cmyk 05:46, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

3 in 1?[edit]

Also, wouldn't it be better if each school has its own page? Merging them together makes everything abit constrained. Furthermore, how many students actually go through 12 years in St Andrew's? The numbers are definitely not significant enough to warrant a merged page. And MOE still sees them as 3 separate entities isn't it? Cmyk 05:50, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Originally, the schools had their own separate pages. However, some people came along and put up SAJS for VfD. The majority voted for SAJS to be merged with the St. Andrew's School article. I took the intiative to merge information from all three schools into one page so that those people would not bother any of the three articles again. I think for now it would be best to keep the article as it is since it has not been expanded enough. When the time comes, I think it would be justified to separate them as they should be.

Let the Saints be Saints. Merge if we can. Is it ok? Zero (talk) 11:06, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Zero (talk) 06:14, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

More information needed.[edit]

Haven't heard about the suspension. Any idea what blog sites they were? haha...

"Schools act against students for 'flaming' teachers on blogs

FREE speech may be the buzzword on the Internet - but libel is unacceptable everywhere. The message has been sent out loud and clear, with five junior college students being punished for posting offensive remarks about two teachers and a vice-principal online. The students, all girls, were made to remove the remarks from their Internet diaries, or blogs, and suspended for three days last month. Their parents were also informed."

This was part of the article which came out on 27th Sept 2005 Straits Times cover page. Considering it came out on the front page of the national papers, I would think it would be an issue worth mentioning. It preceeded the whole racist blogger stuff. And the blogging about SAF thing. Problem is they initially did NOT say it was SAJC, they just said it was a junior college. But after awhile there were hints of which school it was here and there and it became pretty obvious to everybody. Cmyk 08:12, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes having a separate website for each school is good, though references to each of them as being part of the St. Andrew's family of schools should be made too. It should not be merged. After all, RI and RJC each have their own sites, and merging content from 3 schools will overload this page...

There should be more information on the different uniforms of each school, the facilities, the school culture and the much hyped Saints Spirit. It is weird why the famous Rugby team hasn't been mentioned, since the SA team is basically one of the best there is.

Yup... so do we work on improving the content of each first then separate them. Or separate them then work on the content? I'm new here, and I haven't really figured out how to separate articles... Oops! Cmyk 07:56, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I initially created separate sites for these schools (with not much content) but somehow they were merged by someone. Usually I just create a link to a new page from the current page. The link will bring me to a new page for me to post whatever information I want. But since everything gets redirected, I don't know how to create a new page either. Anyways, just add information to the current page first, and pictures, then we separate the pages later. I don't even know how to post entries in the discussion page. Whatever I post the time and userid doesnt show up. So no one knows that its me who posted something in the discussion page. Are you from the junior, secondary school or jc?

SEPARATE PAGES[edit]

Can we please have separate pages for the 3 schools. I mean its against wikipedia's policy of having long articles right. How can anyone feel like contributing more info about one school when the page is getting too long. Its logical to have separate pages. ACS and SAS are similar schools. Lets follow ACS's article for a start. ACS's articles are so detailed. SAS's are so pathetic.

I second this suggestion... but have no idea how to go about doing it! Cmyk 16:48, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The links to the main article for each of the 3 schools is already created. Just visit the main article for each of the school and start contributing information. We shall streamline the format of the articles later. Now its the collection of information phase. hehe... Ignoramus

Actually the links has already existed before. All I did was to move the stuff back again...--Huaiwei 12:01, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I actually think that all three schools should have a page under SAV, then more detailed information be added under their own separate pages. --220.255.17.8 (talk) 08:38, 3 October 2008 (UTC)::::[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:SAJC1.jpg[edit]

Image:SAJC1.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 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.BetacommandBot 10:11, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
