Talk:Mount Carmel Catholic College

On copying and pasting
Adding words here and there to material copied and pasted from another site (cf. past versions of the article with the "Mount Carmel is a big High School..." passage to the text at http://www.maristlaityaustralia.com/links/varroville.html) is considered a copyright violation. Wikipedia's Guide to writing better articles is a great starting point for the structure and content ideas for any editor, new or experienced. --Oddharmonic 16:09, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:MountCarmelHighSchoolVarrovilleLogo.gif
Image:MountCarmelHighSchoolVarrovilleLogo.gif 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 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 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.

Personal info
Are we allowed to include student's names in the article? I mean I'm from Mount Carmel but I never said that my name was allowed to be used. Actually my name isn't here, but anyway, is it right to use people's names without permission? R0cketor (talk) 08:14, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * No - not unless the student is very famous, and is discussed in several "reliable sources" such as newspapers, books, etc.
 * All information needs references so that it can be verified. Names should definitely be avoided, unless there are independent (ie, not the school website) reliable sources. See WP:BLPNAME and WP:NPF.  Chzz  ► 08:46, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, should I delete the council and captain list?  R0cketor -  Talk  09:00, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
