[edit] Requested move
Bishop Strachan School → The Bishop Strachan School – The school's official name is The Bishop Strachan School, not Bishop Strachan School — Writerchick 20:47, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
If you go to the official website, you'll see that "the" is part of the name.
-
- Add *Support or *Oppose followed by an optional one sentence explanation and sign your vote with ~~~~
- Oppose A web-search shows numerous hits with no "the", or with lower-case the in running text. Naming conventions would indicate no "the" in article title. Alai 21:55, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Support Please check out the school's official website. Also, when an Old Girl (or current student) uses her school's full name, she would always use "the," meaning she'll say that she goes to/went to The Bishop Strachan School However, she may say that she goes to/went to Bishop Strachan or BSS. That's how things are. Writerchick 02:11, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose. No need for a definite article, whether it's part of the official name or not. Agree with Alai's comment above. -- Necrothesp 10:23, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Support. The official name is "The Bishop Strachan School", which has been shortened on occasion - however diplomas are signed as "The Bishop Strachan School". -- 10:23, 11 Feb 2007
[edit] Interesting Facts
At Appleby College we call them Bitches in Sailor Skirts, not Suits. What school calls them suits? Why the hell would you say suit, when they wear skirts?
It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it to be moved. violet/riga (t) 12:44, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I'm a BSS Old Girl. The skirt and middy blouse combination is part of the school's Number One Dress. In the winter, students have the option of wearing pants, which were introduced around the late 90s, when I graduated from the school.
We always said Bitches in Sailor Shirts, because of the wierd shirts.
