I have been pretty much the sole contributor to this article for a quite a few months now, and I would appreciate some direction. If anyone is involved in either WikiProjects Schools or Nottinghamshire, could you please assess the article on both your scales? Cheers. Curlymanjaro ( talk) 20:23, 03 March 2015 (UTC)
I've condensed the content to something a little more like the GA listed Malvern College, the maintained information retains the key elements of the school - but reads a little easier (I had concerns regarding contradictory material). As pretty much the sole contributor to this article, I believe that this is the right way forward. Curlymanjaro ( talk) 22:26, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

@ Curlymanjaro: @ Kudpung: There comes a point in any article, that other editors look and identify you as the 'expert' and walk away. It its a real pity because in this case User:Curlymanjaro has put in a hell of a lot of effort over many years. We do need a GA for a UK state school- as Malvern College is private and very atypical. We do need a model that other editors can refer to. He needs feedback and a comrade in arms.
I suspect that when this goes to GA, the following points are going to be picked up: it is overworked (due I suspect to the lack of a second editor being available to give a second opinion); a lot of the text could be removed if the link sentences and detailed explanations of the peculiar English education system were culled. This is where wikilink would be valuable- and some time spent in working up those articles to do the heavy duty work; there will be serious concerns about the heavy reliance on school published documents (primary sources) (original research);whole sections are fascinating but off-focus and would be better spun off as searate articles - for example that Henry Strutt opened the Chandos Street School in section on 1973–present; there is a lot of overlinking such as Minister of Education, A612, European community; and it is too long.
It should be noted that while the state of Educational achievement in Nottinghamshire is dire, so are most of our school articles (POV). -- ClemRutter ( talk) 22:55, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
Curlymanjaro. Hi, I noticed you pinged me in this discussion and, while I don't really have the time to carry out a full GAR right now, I wish you the best of luck. State school articles are not the easiest to write due to a lack of sources; I was lucky, for instance, with St George's Academy that it celebrated its centenary in 2008 and uploaded a lot of historical material online which was trawled by the Internet Archive. I did, however, have to dig up a lot of offline sources, which was interesting but time-consuming. Your article here seems broadly in good shape, but I do have a few pieces of advice which you can take or leave:
I think this has the potential to be a GA, and it's clear a lot of research has gone into it! Do ping me if you need any further advice or comments. Anyway, I'm glad to see such a good effort has been put into another school article; I've often thought that if one person in each town were prepared to work on local articles like this, Wikipedia would be a far better resource.

Hi Curlymanjaro and others. An excellent job of work on this article. I am here from GOCE pursuant to your request. I am sure that you realise that a request to "shorten this article without removing detail" approaches the oxymoronic, but I shall do my best. A lot of what I need to do seems to be compliance with WP:MOS. If there is anything which you are not happy with or don't understand why I've done it, feel free to query me here.

{{Costing the Inflation|UK|173793|1952|r=-5|fmt=eq|cursign=£}}. Every year the magic of Wikipedia will update the index and change the "in 20xx" figure. As you can see, I didn't add any additional information, so it shouldn't need additional referencing.
Sorry to trouble you, but I can't work out what this means "religious education is given throughout the school". Could you elucidate? Thanks. Gog the Mild ( talk) 20:50, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
There is a problem with this sentence:
Managed by the Greater Nottingham Education Trust, Carlton le Willows operates on a single, 32-acre campus, which 1,513 students attended during the 2016–17
Managed is a technical term usually applied to CofE primarry schools. It is unclear whether GNET runs C le W or C le W runs GNET . GNET is a MAT but with two schools- I am unclear on the wording we should use ClemRutter ( talk) 09:03, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
Seeing as GNET runs the school, perhaps "overseen" would be better? Curlymanjaro ( talk) 12:18, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Now reviewing this article, which seems to have been waiting a very long time! Fingrmouse ( talk) 15:40, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
A very good article, of a much higher standard than the vast majority on Wikipedia.
Does it pass as a Good Article?
A definite pass, but only once the issues with quoting unattributed authors is resolved. Will put on hold for the moment. Fingrmouse ( talk) 16:29, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
I came here to check sourcing for DYK, and of the four I checked, one was completely broken for me (Sam Beeton as an alumni), both the original and the archive, and I couldn't get to it at the Wayback Machine either, and I couldn't reproduce it via a google search on the source title or replace it by googling Sam Beeton (all sources were suspect.) I haven't checked any of the others, but two have bad parameters noted, and I'm a little concerned about this for GA status. I think it would be a good idea for someone who has some time to systematically check the references on this article to make sure they're all still working. -- valereee ( talk) 11:54, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
