Talk:Honi Soit

Good contributions from everyone, but I think we should focus more on what goes into Honi Soit than the politics around it. It's a newspaper remember. enochlau (talk) 13:36, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

It would be better if there was more history of the paper included. A section for history could include people who have edited the paper in past, what important issues it has covered etc.

"A Popular History Of Honi Soit"

Who vomited into the "A Popular History Of Honi Soit" section?

I think the wikipedia policy that applies here is WP:BALLS. Andjam 05:54, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Merge to SRC?

Much of the info here isn't noteworthy or verifiable in a reliable (non-primary) source. Should it be merged to the USyd SRC instead? Andjam 08:39, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

I believe that it should remain a separate article, for the reason that it is a well-known entity that deserves its own article. If some of the information is unverifiable, it should be removed from the article, but that is no argument for not having an article in the first place. enochlau (talk) 13:23, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

The One Day of the Year

I think some mention should be made in the article about how an Anzac Day feature in the late 50's partly inspired Alan Seymour's play, The One Day of the Year. There are many sources for it which can be found with a simple google search, since the play was restaged in 2003. Sheavsey33 (talk) 05:07, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Commem Day Honis

The reference to humour in Honi Soit shows an unfortunate bias towards recent history. Commem Day Honis from the 60s and 70s should also be mentioned. These are also relevant because they were sold in significant numbers outside the University campus.

I already touched on the commem editions in the 'format' section so I didn't want to double up, but it could easily be moved under comedy. Tough why 60's and 70's in particular? Was there something noteworthy that happened those years that was not present from the 20's-50's processions? In either case it's not so much a case of bias as there not being any referencable material that I came across that would be noteworthy enough to include. If you know something however, please let me know and I'd be happy to try dig up some references from the archives and ad it in. AllTheGoodNames (talk) 15:23, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
