Talk:University of New South Wales Student Guild

I was going to put in a reason for why I was reverting the most recent change, but I accidentally saved it without doing so. Basically, the section about the Left regaining control of the Guild was stripped away and replaced with an "update" about Labor Students gaining control of the Guild in 2005, without any mention of 2004. After saying that the Right controlled it until 2003, and not mentioning 2004, it's likely to confuse anyone into thinking that the right continued its dominance in 2004, which is incorrect. Furthermore, there is no reason why it should be separated into an "update" for an event that happened months ago. Braue 10:15, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Guild politics
Some of the statements regarding Student Unity and guild elections from 2002-2006 are written with mild POV and need examining -- CHANLORD [T]/[C] 05:25, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

>I agree, I have replaced the sentences "In 2003, a broad alliance of progressive students consisting of Labour Left and the remnants of the Broadleft contested the elections and won a clear majority of the votes. However, in dubious circumstances the Presidential candidate, Gulfam Ahmed, was excluded and many cried foul over the corrupt." with "The election results of 2003 were stongly contested, with allegations of corruption made regarding the electoral practices adopted by Student Unity" If someone wants to spell out the specific nature of the allegations, please do so with an eye to history - which bits would be important in 10 years? --Missjeanie 01:02, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Deleted attempt to intimidate wikipedia writers with legal threats.

>>>Also, the right did control in 2004. Is Courtney Roche something other than SU? - Sam


 * I have rewritten the stuff on Guild elections based on Tharunka reports - but hopefully with Tharunka's POV taken out. Ideas for expanding and refining this text are most appreciated. Joestella 11:37, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Suggestions
Why doesn't somebody go into the Guild and write out all the past presidents and update the page. I will help with factions if that is done (though the Guild wasn't really factionalised until the 1980s.

Re-write of UNSW
Over the next few months I will be conducting a major re-write of the UNSW page. I will be planning it on my sub page, here: User:Witty lama/Sandbox. Feel free to comment and add things as you see fit. Cheers, Witt y lama 16:08, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
