![]() | On 20 January 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved to E2020. The result of the discussion was not moved. |
I did an initial review under new article review / curation process. One question at this stage is whether or not the topic meets the wp:notability requirements to exist as a separate article. I believe that the answer is yes and will be marking this article as reviewed. That said, there are several concerns about the article. About 80% of the article reads like an advertisement, wording of the that would be created by the company that is promoting the product. The other 20% was covering criticism of the product/service. So IMO the article is mostly lacking in normal objective enclyclopedic coverage of the topi.
It looks like user Hillelfrei (not the creator) has done a significant amount of work to improve the article with respect to the issues noted above. A great effort.

The tag was with respect to wording and not saying that the overall article is biased. Upon further looking at the sources I can see that evolution suggested is more of a long term goal than something requiring a top level tag and I'm fine with the tag having been removed. I also removed a concern expressed after learning more in discussions with the initial editor. Sincerely, North8000 ( talk) 20:25, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you for your time reviewing the Edgenuity article. I understand what you mean when you say it feels like an advertisement, but after elaborating, I can't determine what I need to alter specifically. And trust me, I have no affiliation with this company, other than a student who uses and mildly dislike it. Can you state what wording, context, or sources need to be altered?

Shouldn't we also mention religious propaganda, and the problem of instructors giving out bible lessons for a public school? That should be mentioned as well in Edge.
Old edits show that the location was set as Scottsdale, NY when it's actually Scottsdale, AZ as there's no such city as Scottsdale in New York but there's a similar city named Scarsdale and had no presence there.
And a edit from 2021 said it was founded in 1988, Not true. Actually it was founded in 1998. It was fixed. 120.28.224.32 ( talk) 06:51, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
BTW, the PROD is for deletion of the reassessment page which is transcluded here, not for deletion of this page. North8000 ( talk) 18:18, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. Withdrawn. Favonian ( talk) 16:45, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
