References for Aquinas College and Aquinas College Salter Point Campus

As I mentioned in passing in the AfD, you've used this website as a source for the assertion that "The Aquinas College campus (32°1′23.2″S, 115°51′49.6″E) is a 62.4 hectare (160 acre) property with 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) of water frontage along the north bank of the Canning River." As far as I'm able to ascertain, the website doesn't say anything about acreage or frontage; it merely gives an address for the school.

So I pulled Peninsular City off my bookshelf. You've used this source as a references for the assertion that "plans to develop this site [Clune Park] were shelved due to the Great Depression." The only mentions of Aquinas are on page 225 and 297. The only mention of the Christian Brothers is on page 225. There doesn't appear to be any mention of Point Heathcote or Clune Park anywhere. Frankly, I can't see anything here that would support the assertion you've claimed for it.

Furthermore page 297 contains some highly relevant information about the 1960 extension of the campus, with 15 acres of bush cleared to make room for two new football ovals and two new hockey pitches, and plans to construct a chapel near the main building. I find it very hard to believe that you would create an article on Aquinas College Salter Point Campus and not consider this information worth including. Frankly, I now have my doubts whether you've ever laid eyes on Peninsular City.

The campus article will certainly be deleted. I'll give you one week to sort out the references on Aquinas College - prove me wrong by adding a page number to your Peninsular City references. If I'm not satisfied then that the references are legitimate, I'll request a Good Article review. Hesperian 10:50, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, Im not sure how to reference that bit: "(32°1′23.2″S, 115°51′49.6″E)" ive never seen it on a website, but i remember fixing it on te google search, so it was correct, because before it was in the middle of the river - would like having the google page work as a reference?

The Gazetteer of Australia has an entry for Aquinas College here. You can get a nice reference by using the {{Gazetteer of Australia}} template. Type "{{Gazetteer of Australia | name = Aquinas College | id = 306397}}" and you end up with this:

"Aquinas College". Gazetteer of Australia online. Geoscience Australia, Australian Government.

As for Peninsular City, i have decided to remove it as a reference from the article, and rely more heavily on OHG.

I would consider that a tacit admission that you've never clapped eyes on Peninsular City, and you fabricated the citation. Hesperian 11:18, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, if possible. You should include anything and everything that would help someone else to check your work. That's what references are for, after all. Hesperian 11:20, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Your student diary is not a reliable third party reference, as it was published by the school for the school.

Page numbers aren't important per se; what's important is that someone who wants to check your work can easily identify the relevant information. OHG is specifically about the school, so it would be reasonable for you to cite the whole book once, without specifying page numbers. Peninsula City merely mentions the school on a couple of pages, so you should provide those page numbers in the citation. Hesperian 11:44, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

GGS

Thanks - great tips. Can you help with the article in any way? Seventy dot 10:56, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

That's fine by me. Seventy dot 11:01, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Just a thought - is it allowed, relaying messages for a blocked user? Seventy ... dot ... 13:30, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aquinas College Salter Point Campus

You should strike our your vote using <s>...</s> tags. You should also request a Speedy delete as creator. As long as there is 100% consensus for delete including from the creator (ie. you), an uninvolved admin will eventually come along and close the discussion.

Please stop creating these sub-articles as they just make you look foolish. Not everything in the world is encyclopaedic. Most content can be incorporated into the main article. —Moondyne 11:30, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Changed username?

Can you advise whether you have abandoned this username and started with a new account? Your user page and talk archives have been copied by another user. If it is you, that's just fine, although it would have been much easier to go through WP:CHU. But I'm concerned that someone may be impersonating you. Hesperian 23:46, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Usurpation request

Could you take a look at your request at WP:CHU/U and confirm that you still wish to usurp an account and what account it is you wish. Some confusion seems to have arisen. WjBscribe 21:47, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Could you sign in as Every Me Every You and make an edit confirming that this account is willing to be usurped? WjBscribe 05:49, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Aquinas oval

seems notable then, all it needs is independent sources to that effect & the tag can go. ben ⇒ bsnowball 11:20, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

that shld do. a source for 'second to the waca' would definitely do it, & if no-one else's complaining... sorry, i just happened to see it in oz new articles & remembered there had been problems with 'too many' aquinas articles before. ben ⇒ bsnowball 11:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
