Presbyterian Ladies' College, Sydney

I requested that this page be peer reviewed in June and received some great suggestions. I've taken these on board and made changes and was hoping that someone could have a look and see if it is worthy of GA status yet and/or make any further suggestions. Thanks in advance!

- Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “~~All~~ pigs are pink, so we thought of ~~a number of~~ ways to turn them green.”

Comments of Twenty Years

First off, fix the infobox. May i recommend Template:Aust school private.
The principals degrees need not be listed in the infobox, this is about the school, not the principals life achievements. Remove all "qualifications" (except Dr. etc) from the chairman and chaplain sections aswell.
References should not be used in the lead, unless there are extra-ordinary claims made. As such - 7&8 can go.
The lead need not contain the information about the principal. Concise - remember.
(from History - para 1) 7th of January, 1888 should be wikilinked and changed to January 7, 1888.
The quote of the student is possibly a bit too far, and takes up WAY too much room
The school prayer could be a copyvio?
College Motto section should be deleted, or at best - merged with another section.
College Crest is prob a bit too far, who really cares about the crest, if its so important, chuck it into the history of the article
School hymn is prob a copy vio and also unencyclopedic.
College tartan should be merged with uniform.
School badge should be merged with uniform
Too much info in the House System. See Aquinas College, Perth it deals with that section well.
Facilities....BORING. Does an encyclopedia really care about the Transition House at PLC Sydney? NO! So delete it.
The list of sports/bands/ensembles is completely useless, and no-one cares about it. Scotch College, Perth handles it well.
Im bored of this, and this will remain incomplete. Someone read WP:AQC and re-do the article. I am onto it.
It has been a pleasure. Twenty Years 12:18, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
