Talk:John XXIII College (ANU)

Untitled
there should be a common infobox for the ANU colleges. I've made one for Bruce Hall which we can use as a template. Khing 07:17, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

This page can be better written, and should be more encyclopaedic.

'''I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND! SLAMMING ANOTHER HALL/COLLEGE BASED ON PERSONAL OPINION IS NOT THE IDEA OF WIKIPEDIA! (it violates the terms and conditions of Wiki) This page is an encyclopedic entry based on fact, not opinion. I will change it every time i see a bias response/abuse! So go and do something else, because you're not''' welcome here.

'''FFS, stop vandalising this page. I watch this page regularly, i will remove any acts of vandalism. You may think you're really funny, but in fact it shows how much of a tool you really are. I will edit all the sh*t you create out. If you are going to "slag off" another college, say it to their face. If you've got something to say about Johns, come down here and share your opinions with "the boys". ''' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.56.65.24 (talk) 16:32, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

non-encyclopaedic?
Residents of John XXIII College take pride in many of its features, including its sporting prowess: the Interhall Sports Shield has been won by Johns for the past four years. In 2005 Johns claimed this shield, together with the Interhall Arts Shield.

The biggest ANU college sporting event of the year, Inward Bound (an orienteering race at night) has been won by Johns on many occasions. 2005 saw Johns take out Divisions 2,4,5,6,7 and Individual.

So far in 2006, Johns has been victorious in Rugby, Basketball (men and women), Womens Hockey, Cricket (men and women) and Road Rela

2010 Boys Club Scandal
This is a perfectly legitimate and important subject for discussion here. It cites its references heavily. If you wish to remove it, please cite your reasons here. 124.168.208.68 (talk) 20:47, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

RE: The "reference" is a subjective editorial; by its very nature opinion not fact - extreme sensationalism, possibly even defamatory —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.203.246.152 (talk) 09:20, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

RE: Please go ahead and read the reference -- it was explicitly not an editorial, but rather an investigative report. 203.173.11.227 (talk) 02:54, 27 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Dustformswords, please go ahead and elaborate on your criticisms of the Woroni article here. I have a copy handy. I have edited a compromise between the versions, leaving out some of the 'gory' specifics you might find offensive, but left in the point of the article, the culture within the College. I have read the page you cited about unreliable sources and do not interpret it as applying to Woroni in this case. 124.168.220.52 (talk) 12:23, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, the issue is here that what you're making is an allegation against the college administrator that's potentially defamatory and allegations against residents that potentially amount to criminal charges. There's no evidence that any of this was investigated by police or that it was notable enough for mainstream papers such as The Canberra Times to pick it up.  Your only source is Woroni, an ANU student newspaper.  In this context Woroni can't be considered a reliable source because the people involved are students and I'd be surprised if there wasn't at least one Woroni writer or staff in residence at John XXIII.  So what you're left with is defamatory statements that you can't cite to a reliable source.  They have to go.  I don't disagree with you that, if true, these allegations would be of interest to the public, but Wikipedia isn't the appropriate forum to pursue that.  Better avenues would be raising the matter with one of your local MLAs, the university administration, or one of our local (non-student) papers. - DustFormsWords (talk) 22:10, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Noting a partial revert of my deletion by User:Rebecca, apparently an independent party, I'll consider the current state of the article a reasonable compromise. Thanks all. - DustFormsWords (talk) 03:10, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
