List of Old Guildfordians (Royal Grammar School, Guildford)

 * Nominator(s): GlanisTalk 07:41, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I think it now meets the FL criteria, and it would be nice to have a few more articles/lists of featured quality from the schools project. GlanisTalk 07:41, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I wish that all school alumni sections or articles could be this good. However, to me, one thing that stops it from being featured list quality is the reliance on the school's own website for a large number of the references. --Simple Boba.k.a. The Spaminator (Talk) 13:19, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I've spent a little bit of time now, and found additional references for the majority of those listed, so the list is now down to 6 referenced solely by the school website (down from about 15) and I'm working on the rest. GlanisTalk 16:12, 27 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment
 * References 4, 6, 10, 23, 26, 42, 57, need access dates if they  were taken from  the internet. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:50, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Done, except for the last one, 57, as that is not actually taken from the online version of the book since the book is not freely available on Google Books. The link is just there for further reading purposes. Thanks, GlanisTalk 21:42, 7 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Images: Please review possible image policy issues with these files:, , . --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:19, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * With images 1 & 3 (Geroge Abbot & Arthur Onslow) which are subject to the copyright claim from the NPG, I was of the opinion that the community has decided that until a successful case is brought against the defendant they were ok for use, as the images are hosted in the US where there is no copyright on faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art (since the US does not recognise the "sweat of the brow" doctrine that is present in UK copyright law). So I therefore assumed that using these two images was ok? GlanisTalk 07:10, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * With regards to the second image (Lloyd-Morgan) There is a good chance that the image is now in the public domain, but I will however email the University of Bristol to enquire as to its status and I have removed it from the article until this is cleared up. Thanks GlanisTalk 07:10, 8 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Parkhurst J: Please link 'marian' to the appropriate page (avoiding the DAB page). --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:56, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Done GlanisTalk 07:27, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Support no glaring issues for me. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:02, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - Impressive list and nicely formatted, but I have to ask if Simon Lazenby qualifies here? Being a Yank, I am not familiar with him, so he might be fine, though as a red link, he jumps out as possibly not meeting notability (I am pretty sure the other red link is fine).  Just checking? LonelyBeacon (talk) 21:25, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * To be honest, now I've had a proper look, I don't think he does. There are a few sources, but very little about him, more just his thoughts. I've taken him out for now. GlanisTalk 13:30, 12 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Support Very nice. Pumpkin Sky   talk  23:36, 5 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment Has Kudpung been asked to revisit? Dabomb87 (talk) 17:49, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Just asked him now. GlanisTalk 18:10, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
 * My apologies for the delay  in  responding. Apart from the tag on File:Lloyd-Morgan.jpg which  still appears to need attention, I have no further issues and will certainly  support the FL when this has been resolved. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:59, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm still waiting to hear back from Bristol University re copyright on that (although i'm not hopeful), so as a result that image has been removed from the article. GlanisTalk 19:39, 11 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Support - Any issues I was aware of or brought to attention have been resolved. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:02, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
