Talk:Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem

Comments
Zou leuk zijn om een lijst van oud-rectoren en leraren te zien. Mag ik mezelf op de lijst van beroemde leerlingen zetten? Gvanrossum (talk) 00:00, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but I think that would be a conflict of interest, but if you have a wikipedia page and went to the Stedelijk, then yes, a link here would be appropriate. Can you first ask someone you know to add you to the Dutch page? If your edit survives there for a month or so then I am willing to add you in. Otherwise ask your question at OTRS and they can do it for you. Jane (talk) 13:00, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Verifiability of some claims
I'm not sure whether some statements in the article are justified. Why is the SGH an elite secondary school, and by whom is it considered one of the most prestigious and academically rigorous schools in The Netherlands? What is so demanding about its curriculum? I know the school well and I agree that it has a good reputation (along with a bunch of other 'zelfstandige gymnasia' such as the Vossius, Barlaeus, Haganum, Murmellius etc.), but its curriculum is shared by all VWO/gymnasium schools. The only non-standard element I can think of is the fact that classes in Greek started relatively early and that one had to follow some extra German and French classes. The way the article is written now, it might appear that the SGH is a type of prep school where students work long hours just to keep up with the material, which is simply not true.

 * I totally agree. When I first made this article I was purely thinking about the historical aspects of the location and the school in the context of Haarlem history, and I see that it has grown into a bit of a WP:PEA party. I know the history well, but am totally lost when it comes to the school today. If you are informed and know the school, feel free to hack away at the article! Jane (talk) 13:00, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

I am a student at the school and my teacher told me that students at the SGH spend 50% more time doing school work than other gymnasium schools. So in a way, this school is "harder" than other schools. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:980:57A9:1:A829:2CCA:72A3:A712 (talk) 10:39, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Haarlem Model United Nations.23Merger proposal
❌ I don't see a relation between the "Model" and the school other than that the "Model" is held in the school. Next year in another school? --Ajv39 (talk) 18:57, 22 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I recommend the merger for a variety of reasons, including the facts that the Haarlem model united nations council article seems to lack notability (and therefore lacks a justification for having an entire page devoted to it), it lacks reliable sources (and I've actually unsuccessfully tried to find more), and it contains little more information than is contained in the article here (other than what has been copied verbatim from other pages). Lastly, the conference is always held at this school if there was some confusion. Cjeongbis (talk) 22:27, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * This is a stale proposal, which also misses the fact that there is also a Haarlem Model United Nations. My view is that both the pages should be merged with the school, as the project is entirely run by students at the school (so, it is not just held at the school). So, I'll add a new proposal with the both merges tagged. Klbrain (talk) 10:36, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Jochem Tinbergen
Somebody using their IP-address to edit added a name to the alumni. First of all, it links the surname of the person to a Nobel prize winner, without any source of the "Jochem" being related in any way to the Nobel prize winner. Furthermore, the only source of this Jochem Tinbergen being the alumni from SGH is his own LinkedIn page. Apparently Jochem is a presenter for a television show, but even the Dutch Wikipedia does not have an article about him and there are further no sources about him other than https://tvvisie.nl/nieuws/nederland/4september2022/eo-kinderprogramma-checkpoint-terug-in-compleet-nieuw-jasje_117247/

So, I am sure he is an alumni, and he is a presenter of a television program on a national broadcaster in the netherlands, but I don't know if he should be in this list.

Also I think the link to Nikolaas Tinbergen should be removed. Wikidrinker (talk) 19:20, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
