Criticism

Not to offend, but the entire page seems to have been written mostly by 'fanboys' notice i put a quotation upon the word. While the page provides in-depth research on the history of the school, it hardly toucheson the subject of its current status in educational circles in Hong Kong. It is rather unlikely to attract anyone reading the said article. For example, the awards the school have gained over the years, and whatnot. Also, as a school, shouldn't the educational quality of the said school be evaluated? After all, information on such an important subject should at least be breached, instead of constantly reminding us of unpleasantries in times long past? At least the view of the school's education as one of the supposedly most prestigious schools should be mentioned, if not evaluated by its own students, as I hv noticed hv written this article. So perhaps this could beincluded in the next upd8, the quality level or lack thereof Askcheung92

The Seven Houses of DBS

Should someone add a section on that too? kelvinhole

Lost furniture found in 1945

The article states that some furniture of DBS lost during Japanese occupation was found in another school in 1945. However, the writer fails to describe how the furniture was found and/or who removed the furniture from DBS. I think it is an unfair accusation against the other school. I suggest deletion of the following sentence from the article.

Quote It was interesting to discover that many lost desks and chairs were eventually found... Unquote

About the bird flu

Why the incident of bird flu is put on the introductory part of the article? It should be only trivial!Splee

Splitting

What about edit the History in a great scale, and split it into 3-4 parts like early years, before 1945 and post war? The history part is too long.

Many articles about schools in Hong Kong are simply copies of their websites. This violates the copyright policy of the wikipedia. The history section of Diocesan Boy's School must be rewritten in another words unless we ask the school to publish the text under free license. — HenryLi (Talk) 01:45, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

About School Uniform

Can anyone write something about the school uniform of DBS?

General Cleanup

Not to offend authors, but surely the writing style/grammar could be improved somewhat? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.103.226.120 (talk • contribs)

Well, if you have the guts to follow your suggestion, why don't you do it now!?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Narold (talk • contribs)

How about WP:AGF?Aranherunar 12:15, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

About Committed Crime

Someone has deleted the "Committed Crime" history column, can anyone help me to put it back? Narold 03:23, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

well, I don't think it is really suitable to pur these things... may be put in 'travias' will be better... dbstommy 2039HKT, 28th Sept, 2006

Excuse me, what is the problem of putting "Committed Crime" as an individual Sub-title? Narold 09:03, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Narold. Do you think that a school can commit a crime? Is there something wrong with your title? --147.8.224.133 07:25, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Definitely, you're right. Using "Committed Crime" as a sub-title would cause mis-leading problems. Therefore, I purpose using "Crime Committed by the Students" as the name of the sub-title would be more appropriate than using "Committed Crime" instead. Narold 09:25, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

The crime mentioned (a boy caught and fined for slapping his sister) is a misdemeanour. I removed it once in my cleanup of Sept 6, 2006 as it did not appear notable, but it keeps coming back. The event described was not a significant event in the history of the school or of its alumni body. The school has a long history and thousands of alumni, so statistically it's highly likely that some alumnus would commit a misdemeanour. Furthermore, nobody has so far been able to supply the necessary sources or citations, thus IMO it would constitute vandalism if iy comes back unless both above points have been addressed.

A Question

This article or section needs sources or references that appear in reliable, third-party publications. Alone, primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of the article are not sufficient for an accurate encyclopedia article. Please include more appropriate citations from reliable sources. This article has been tagged since January 2007. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kolyudov (talk • contribs)

Dear managers of wikipedia,

In the history part, necessary footnotes have already been added, but no response is heard from you, what's the point?

By the way, is your kind label of lacking sources the justification that this page can be edited at everyone's own will, including creating a humiliating nickname to a former headmaster??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kolyudov (talk • contribs)

Headmasters

I have actually removed the titles of the headmasters ("Mr.", or "Headmaster" in chinese) as pretty stuffy and meaningless. Would anyone agree that it would be nice to have the actual names of the headmasters, rather than just the stuffy title and the initials? Can anyone help? Ohconfucius 10:14, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
