Haileybury College, Melbourne[edit]

Very detailed article, giving an insight into independent schools in Victoria, Australia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sendreplyfwd (talk • contribs) Haileybury college is the best school in the world. Best results,best teachers,best school grounds, best education.They have raised some of the most successful in Australia and should be commended on all they do for students-turning them into the highest of high achievers. This article certainly does not do it justice.

Object No references at all. Questionable copyright status on images. These two obecjtions are obvious without even reading the article. Unsure of copyright status of "School Hymn." Also, the article does not exemplify "brilliant prose." Article should go through a peer review first. We need more FAs in the education category, but this one just isn't ready for the big time. -Scm83x 05:57, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • These references should be made inline in the ref/note style of other featured articles, like today's featured article. Article still lacks all of the other things I mentioned. Please sign your posts. -Scm83x 06:25, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object. Needs more work, peer editing, cleanup. Not in line with WP:MOS, huge gaps in history section; no info on sports, academics or extra-curricular activities. My stock standard advice on high school articles: have a look at the Schools Portal and Caulfield Grammar School (the only high school FA) for an idea of what is required in a high school article in order to be featured.

  • Object: What little there is seems informative, but the article has too many short single paragraph sections in fact the whole page is too short, the school must have more to offer than this if it is notable, because quite frankly it doesn't sound a very interesting place, are any of it alumni notable, even infamous will do. The page reads like one of those brief synopsis of local schools written in a bland anonymous town guide - where each section has to be confined to a limited number of words.

Object Is is a good article, however not a great one. It is certainly better than most on wikipedia however it is not worthy of being a feature article. I certainly agree with adding some well known alumni as i know Haileybury certainly does have some well known ones eg. Police Minister Tim Holding etc. This article could be fixed up to conform to a higher standard. I recommend you look at Caulfield Grammar as this is an excellent article. Haileybury College is one of the best schools in the world an unfortunately this article does not do it justice. I would also recommend adding more information on the parallel education system as this is what has made Haileybury famous. The history section could be improved, as well as what Haileybury offers, the whole article seems to be about the new girls college. I congratulate the author on their work as wikipedia definately needs more articles relating to schools, however i don't think this article is worthy of being a feature article just yet. --Adsl009 09:56, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
