Hi Steven. Being from Texas, I really enjoy editing Texas schools. Can you enlighten me on why NCES data is used for Texas schools rather than Texas Education Agency (TEA) data? Thanks in advance PhillyHarold ( talk) 14:36, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
Hello! I was wondering if you could help me out with an issue I encountered while editing the Macomb Area Conference page. On there, there's a bar graph near the bottom showing all the schools in the athletic conference, as well as what division of the conference they were placed in for football in any given year since the conference's inception. They recently realigned for the 2020 season, so I was going to update the graph with the new division placements when I encountered an odd problem. Sterling Heights moved from the Gold division up to the Blue division with this realignment, but when I attempted to update its respective line with this, it remained as gold. I tried tweaking with it, and it seems no matter what color id I gave it, it remained as gold when it was updated. This is completely unique to the Sterling Heights bar as well; every other school I changed had no issues when I updated them. I can't say I've ever interacted with you in the past, so I don't know how well versed you are with these kinds of problems, but you seemed reliable, and you're a member of Wikiproject Schools as well, which is somewhat relevant here, so I was hoping you could help me figure out what the issue is, or guide me to someone who can help, because it has me stumped. Thanks in advance! Finchwidget ( talk) 22:39, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
On 16 January 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Wellacre Academy, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Wellacre Academy has more solar panels than any other school in Great Britain, with 1,720? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Wellacre Academy. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Wellacre Academy), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi! Re: Education in the United Kingdom I think the idea is that people are to be encouraged to make these projects active again. The chances of that decrease exponentially if the wikiproject tags are removed.
I noticed btw that the wikiproject tags were not (possibly were never at) the likes of Oxford and Cambridge. Without traffic from those articles I couldn't see how the wikiproject would ever become active again. WhisperToMe ( talk) 18:18, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
You rejected my edit to the Park School of Baltimore page removing this portion, which I noted "lacked citations," asking why I removed sourced content:
"The average class size is 15 students.[citation needed] Park's faculty members have an average of 20 years of teaching experience, the highest of any independent Baltimore school, with an average of 11 years.[citation needed] Over 73 percent hold advanced degrees.[4][failed verification]
Ninety-two percent of Advanced Placement test-takers from the Class of 2018 scored a three or better.[citation needed] Over the course of the last 10 years[when?], Park has had more National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists than any other co-ed independent school in Maryland.[5][failed verification]"
This is not sourced content, and cannot be verified by any independent source. In some cases the information isn't even on the school website. It, as you can see, fails verification or needs citations. I've made the same edit again--it should be accepted. Once it is, the warning banners on the page should be removed, since all biased information (included a strangely worded segment in the Athletics section). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Termfrll ( talk • contribs) 02:24, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
I am unsure as to why you removed my grandmother’s alumni addition to the Burr & Burton Academy.
She was the oldest living alumni up until 2017 when she passed away at the age of 95 and can be confirmed under her adopted name of Betty O’Connor class of 1939.
Her biography to Wikipedia and its link to that are in progress.
While her estate is still being distributed I can tell you a copy of one of her publications is in the process of being donated to the academy that helped shape her future. Merlinares ( talk) 22:21, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Steven, I appreciate your undertaking and your patrolling school articles on WP. However, I'm not quite sure I understand your penchant for converting a new article (admittedly in its infancy) into a draft version. I believe that, while this may seem like a good idea for articles with no structure, little content, and few if any references, it is against the intent of Wikipedia in its themes of collaboration and accumulated participation and content.
While I admit that articles initially submitted are often not nearly comprehensive enough, it seems to that relegating one to draft status prevents others from adding, editing and using the article until such time as a draft is deemed worthy enough. I see tens if not hundreds of WP articles which do not measure up to excellent standards — yet I am optimistic that, over time, the article will improve and become more useful. I question how Wikipedia's strength of collaboration and cooperation can be utilized if articles appear in some limbo state, requiring an initial entry to be so complete and polished that it requires significant effort by an individual to overcome the article's requirements. Rather, I suggest editors trawl for articles which present falsehoods and inaccuracies instead of preventing growth and input from other Wikipedians.
I'm certain that you have much more knowledge about these aspects than I do, although I have been editing and creating content for quite a while on WP. If possible, please provide me with a better idea of why both articles you've selected of my recent creation are not worthy of "non-draft" status. While I perceived your first action (on the Our Saviour Lutheran High School article) as a constructive way for me to add more information and sources, I quickly proceeded to do so. I'm surprised that the second action (on the second article about Kings Mountain High School) even occurred, however, as I thought I had provided at least as much source information in the text and references to at least be viewable and editable by others. When we consider that the review process to move something from draft to non-draft status may take up to 6 months, I believe that this designation should be used much less than it appears you do. So I would like both your reflection on this and your help educating me. It is difficult to not feel resentful when trying to help build WP and to receive what appears to be obstruction. I have no specific interest in either of these article's subjects. I merely notice occasionally when an article does not exist and have tried to help start one.
Maybe I am mistaken and Wikipedia has evolved far enough now that my old ways cannot (should not) continue. Maybe, however, the standard for articles needs to be balanced against encouraging the growth of information and helping to shape and support it, rather than reject something in its earliest stages. I know this was a lengthy message to you, but I hope you recognize that I sincerely do what I do to help increase the value of WP.-- SidP ( talk) 23:58, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
Dear Steven, I have some new information regarding St. Mary's Central High School that should be added to its Wikipedia page. In the Fall of 2019, St. Mary's moved locations from the previous address of 1025 North 2nd Street, Bismarck ND 58501 to 5802 Ridgeland Dr, Bismarck, ND 58503. The information in NCES is outdated and it has the former address of the school. On St. Mary's official website ( https://www.smchs.org/) on the bottom of the web page is the new address and contact information for the school. Also, I founded more recent numbers for student enrollment and the teaching staff, however, I don't know how I'd be able to site this source as it is a pdf. The website to find this information on is ( https://bismarckdiocese.com/education) and the pdf with the information on it is in the bottom left corner under the 2019-20 Catholic Schools Directory. Hopefully, this information I found could be of use on this page and help in updating it. Thank you for your time and consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KLarson3 ( talk • contribs) 01:36, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
Dear Steven, You are the expert on this topic and no doubt you have the more knowledge than me. Your suggestions is obviously very important for me . My last created article has been converted into a draft .Based on my knowledge, that created article had the sufficient references and it is also created by following the standard model for a school.So, i would request to you please reinvestigate that created article and remove from draft to article .

Hey, thanks for letting know about the spacing problem in the infobox. I have no idea why it's doing that, I'm not purposely doing that. Looking back at revisions I've made, it looks like this has happened with almost every single edit I've done in the past couple days (which is kind of late to realize considering I've edited around 100 infoboxes lately). Do you know why this is happening? Perhaps an error with visual editor (which I am editing from)? TheGEICOgecko ( talk) 01:03, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

I'd like to clarify why I made the changes to South Point High School. For one, I don't see a need to include "high school" in the type of school. It is assumed that South Point High School is a high school. If anything, it would be best to include that it is a Public secondary school for non-American viewers.
The start date and age template will help with showing the age of the school, and there is no reason to disclude this information, and will only benefit the reader. It helps give a picture to when the school was established.
The campus type, suburban, does not need a link ( MOS:OL), as English-speakers generally know what suburban means, in the same way it is assumed (therefore, unlinked) that the reader knows what United States, principal, or district is.
The school color edits were done to create optimal comparison of colors. There is no reason for there to be a border, except in the case of the color being white, of which in that case a light border would be best. Putting the colors side by side is optimal visually, both in a sense of comparing the school colors, and of an appealing sense.
The en-dash is simply more appropriate than a hyphen, as it is a range of years.
The deletion of the "www." in the school website is an attempt to minimize the number of readers that see the website link awkwardly sitting on two lines. There is no need for www. to be included, so I have removed it.
It also seems that a while back, you removed an edit on the school, of which I added the CEEB code. You said that other CEEB-related fields were removed, so it isn't worth adding the code. Similarly, I could argue that head-related fields (ie, Vice Principal) was removed, so it isn't worth adding principal/head fields. But the fact is that CEEB was considered useful enough to be included in the infobox, and unless it is decided that it should be removed, there is no reason to disclude it. TheGEICOgecko ( talk) 02:34, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
Looking back at the article, this school in particular has the color black, which matches the border. However, I think it should still have a border value of none for the sake of consistency, as there is less reason to include a border.
Also, I think that adding the line break in the school colors would be best due to it being subtley easier to compare the words to the colors if they are somewhat lined up in this way. I believe that even the subtle things matter, and that if there is no reason to disclude the line break, it would be best to include it. TheGEICOgecko ( talk) 02:41, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
Department for Education URN
Hi User:Steven (Editor), I recently created and wrote the entire Alpine Learning Group—a prestigious special education private school serving autistic children in New Jersey—article and was looking to nominate it as a WP:GAN. I am wondering if you could check if the references need any improvements and fix them (as well as any other edits) before I am nominate the article. Thanks, and take care! ATC . Talk 23:03, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
The title is hidden in the 'live' example, so it won't show the coord at the top of the infobox school template page. In the cut/paste example, 'title' should not be shown as within the 'hidden' remarks, as when this cut/paste example is copied to an article page, the coord would show both in the infobox and at the top of the article, like it normally would. I don't understand, at all, why you would want the title within hidden remarks for the Australian school, as it is not shown that way in the UK or USA example. Please explain your reasoning? Funandtrvl ( talk) 02:14, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
| coordinates = {{Coord|51.188115|0.264445|region:GB-KEN_dim:100|format=dms|display=inline<!--,title-->}}
In the cut/paste version (2nd infobox) for the UK school infobox, the 'title' parameter is shown as normal, so that it can be copied into a new or existing UK schools article:
| coordinates = {{Coord|51.188115|0.264445|region:GB-KEN_dim:100|format=dms|display=inline,title}}
Please note that I have reverted your last edit, as it incorrectly showed 'title' within hidden comment remarks for the cut/paste example for the Australian schools. Regards, Funandtrvl ( talk) 02:34, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi Steven
Thanks, I am aware that private schools etc may not be notable, my edit reason was a little clumsy. Thanks for your edits on Daubeney Academy and all you do on here. Bleaney ( talk) 21:26, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
It's a stub. It has exactly 2 sentences and you have deemed that it doesn't have enough sources or citations?! All the entries that are on wikipedia that have no sources and you've decided that this doesn't have enough sources or citations.
It seems you've nominated yourself the school Nazi. Well, I'm not going to submit to you as some self-appointed judge and jury. ash ( talk) 18:51, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi there. Thanks for your suggested changes to Don College. Last year there was significant discussion on the nomenclature of Australian schools where you provided great input. Thanks. As I now recall it there was consensus, in describing schools, to not use the genders unless it was a single sex school (boys or girls, for either the entire or part of the school years). On this basis, I will remove the term co-educational for the Tasmanian government colleges. Rangasyd ( talk) 11:26, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi there. I reverted your edit on Daubeney Academy as it is not needed - the article already mentions this school is an academy in both its infobox and its History section (see Wikipedia guidelines on OVERLINKING). Besides, 'academy status' really has no meaning - we don't put 'grammar school status' or 'free school status' or 'community school status' etc for other schools. A school's 'Academy status' relates to the governance of the school which is best explained in the main body of the article and not the lead...
And as for me reverting you being a 'hostile edit'? How is reverting 'hostile'? I don't see it mentioned in any Wikipedia guidelines...maybe this is something YOU have to get over. As always, any questions, please feel free to contact me... Bleaney ( talk) 15:51, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi there :-)
Let's start again...
I have problems with the 'academy status' label that a lot of English school articles have on Wikipedia... The Department for Education does not use the term, it only really crops up here on Wikipedia. Now i'll admit I used the term liberally myself when I was editing and creating articles a few years ago, but that was when Academies were still extremely rare and therefore a bit of a novelty. Now a large proportion of secondary schools are academies, and no longer the exception. As we know being an 'academy' in England relates to its funding structure and governance, they still remain schools. While mentioning the fact that these schools are academies is useful and noteworthy, is it really so important to put into the lead of an article? Is it not better mentioned in the main body of the article, where it can be explained that the school was previously blah blah blah, but became an academy in blah blah blah? As I mentioned previously we don't do it for other types of schools (we don't say with foundation school status or with community school status in article leads). What are your thoughts about this? Bleaney ( talk) 16:56, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
Per WP:RMUM, an article can be moved by any autoconfirmed editor "without discussion if all of the following apply: No article exists at the new target title; There has been no discussion (especially no recent discussion) about the title of the page that expressed any objection to a new title; and It seems unlikely that anyone would reasonably disagree with the move." All of these three criteria are satisfied. Do you have any legitimate purpose in obstructing this move? Are you now following and undoing all of my edits for tendentious reasons? Alansohn ( talk) 21:15, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
The reason I accepted the draft was because I thought it would probably survive at AfD and thus thought it appropriate to accept given the criteria of both AfC and Draftify. Feel free to nominate for deletion if you think differently I won't take it personally. Best, Barkeep49 ( talk) 17:56, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for using {{ AFC comment}} to log the copyvio on Draft:Hyogo Prefectural Kobe High School. Seeing that, I found and removed the copyvio and slapped a {{ copyvio-revdel}} template on it. Now that an admin has redacted the revisions that contained copyrighted material, I can properly thank you without invoking the Streisand effect. davidwr/( talk)/( contribs) 20:23, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
You enjoy maps! I zoomed in on the infobox map. /info/en/?search=Michaela_Community_School#/map/0 At 3 zooms- the pointer has separated from the highlighted box. I can't see an obvious reason- but it looks more like a bug than a feature. Is it worth pursuing? -- ClemRutter ( talk) 15:12, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
I just found out that you tagged Template:HBO for speedy deletion on grounds it acted as a substantial duplicate of Template:WarnerMedia Studios & Networks. I have filed to contest because the template was created on a similar basis as other templates focused on the multinational corporate structure of a U.S.-based television network (such as Template:ESPN and Template:Nickelodeon), and included links not featured in the template you asserted it duplicates. In addition, as the template's creator, I received no notification on my talk page that it was being contested (as would be normal procedure for deletion of content created by a particular editor) and the reasoning for deletion is undercut by the fact you had copy-pasted the template structure into the Home Box Office section of the WarnerMedia Studios & Networks template around the time you requested the HBO template's deletion, effectively causing some of the duplication you cited as justification for deletion. I would have instead kept the HBO template as a standalone while also treeing it within the WarnerMedia Studios & Networks template. TVTonightOKC ( talk) 06:34, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
You seem to be taking the lead on infoboxes. The Hundred of Hoo Academy- this is interesting infobox as it has been edited by an ip who is attempting to express: the executive principals title and his name, and the local principals title and name. As an ip he is not privy to the discussions we have had, and naively is doing his best. From it we can see our missing fields- and the need for two more to represent the executive principal who will be shared with other schools in the MAT. I suggest
Au contraire. We just need the two I have defined above to describe the most most common type of state school- the academy. I have renamed r_head to religious_head to be more specific in its intention. There was a discussion years back about it not being used to name deputy heads or head of houses. It is needed in certain catholic schools, and in certain islamic schools. I believe that all the other parameters can be abandonned and expressed using the three above. The remaining problem is what do other countries need. We need input on that, and before making any changes, we need to consult on the project talk page and the infobox talk page. It important that the parameter names are clear, as this template attracts a large number new and occasional editors. I got involved in a destubathon and have destubbed all the secondary schools in Norfolk, than then many elsewhere and I saw how a lot of naive editors were approaching Wikipedia schools which gives me some data to work with, and the wondrous names they give their principals (MAT and local) and there is some deep internal politics involved.Some take a hierarchical approach while others see the MAT almost as a bought-in service and thus secondary. But you can be sure that the Executive principal gets paid more than the local headteacher
What are you talking about? I can see it on the article named in the nomination. Can you correct it- then explain what went wrong?
I really don't find it very helpful when you jump in when I am in the middle of editing an article. I want to spend the first two hours of the morning adding properly referenced content not squabbling about a work in process. The rules on references state the over-riding principle is that the reference must exist, even if we can't access it on line. I agree that the internal school document is too weak to remain- and it requires you and me to attempt to find more parallel references. Steven, you have never told me your location- I haven't a clue how much of the Kent Education history have experienced, or which libraries you will access to. Tag the paragraph and leave it a month to give other editors to help- I can think of two who might be watching or could be asked.
You are right about the broken references- each one needs to be replaced, and often the text updated. In some cases it will require rewriting another wikipage!
Incidently I am finding a lot of pages that once were displaying module= mapframe, are still displaying that map along with the new automatic map. In most cases they can be deleted but there are some that display extra information such as two sites that must be retained. Suggestions? I might add more to this paragraph later today. ClemRutter ( talk) 09:47, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
Iĺl have a look tomorrow, but every UK academy has two heads so it is a big problem
Yes- see the reason- its not our fault that both of them look as bad- the web page graphics are appalling. Poor oversight by management again. When you did the improvement it would have been helpful to have pinged me to let me know you were orphaning an image. That was the problem there.
Yes, but what exactly is "school internal document", it's just plain text only that says only this, that could mean anything and does not help at all? It's like me going to an article, adding some information and then putting school internal document as a reference. Don't forget you can still access the previous history text in the edit history, you're welcome to add it back pending you can add sources for it, don't just add it all back, the section had references to the school website that didn't work and unsourced statements (the citation needed tags dated back to 2011!) — some of the references don't mention the school.Communication problem again! Say what you want to do first on the talk page when you know the editors working on the page. The issue goes back I think to a suggestion that text from a page The Three tier system on the Hoo Peninsula should be merged into this page, then the next dispute about the way the school declined on the resignation of Ray Robinson was added - with too much detail. I think I say this stuff in a briefing paper to members of Medway Councillors, but we need a proper reference before we cull the text. I have made several changes to the references as you will see in the sandbox.
That is great- can it be done by a bot rather than manually? If we must do it manually- can we draw up a list (hidden category) of the boxes that need changing.

Hi Steven,
My name is Sophie and I am very new to being a Wikipedia user editing and writing articles. I am contacting you because I saw that you had made changes to Niall Dunne's Wikipedia page a couple years ago. I was hoping I could get your help to create a new section on his page. As I am currently working at Polymateria, the company at which Niall is CEO I am unable to update his page due to WP:COI guidelines but am wondering whether you might be happy to help me add a section to his page?
If you are happy to help me I can send you the text that I would like to update the page with.
Again, as said I am very new to this side of Wikipedia so please do let me know if there is another way I should be trying to make these changes.
Thank you and hope to speak soon, Sophie

Great. You have just done what I was about to ask you to do. Thanks. Real life intervened. I stopped when I couldn't add the default 'area' to a multi-site maplink before I attempted to add the related prep- school in Gilling Castle ( a lesser task! ) What we have at the moment is fine. So I am back on my hobby horse about readable documentation. Searching for the above information, it is not clear from the example of UK school how to do what you have told me with that one example edit. The rest of the text is just too dense for the un-confident user- or the user is just too dense for the text, or both. To understand the documentation you have to have a knowledge of the history of the code.
Reading it all through again- to the user, it appears as if the map just appears like magic like the word information. There is no mention of the parameter mapframe in the usage or parameter list. It appears in a disconnected way in 2.1 Map and coordinates.
So they look to the example- and again I could find no example of how to override the default map or indeed the very useful maplink method for lines and multiple sites, There is no example on how to modify a maplink map and to still maintain the defined shape (I don't mean locating a wikidata q number- unless it is easy and idiot proof- I want editors to stay on focus and write copy, not to investigate Lua and mysql- fun though that may be.)
I'll have a go at tidying up the Infobox documentation, if you will copyedit my work so it complies with other infoboxes. ClemRutter ( talk) 22:41, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Happy Census 2021 Day. Help needed. As part of a London wikimeetup we got to attempting a GAN review which is how I got to helping an editor with adding a detailed map to Template:Infobox civil conflict for his page Shaheen Bagh Protests. What goes in and on the map and article content is for the editor to decide. The question is how do we get any OSM map in to that infobox. Though I can't pull up an appropriate example there are other infobox templates that could do with their push-pin maps being overwritten on occasions. So have you got any ideas what we could do here? ClemRutter ( talk) 16:55, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed on my watchlist that this page was removed from Category:Lists of schools in Tennessee and then saw you had redirected it. That's fine, but I guess it never occurred to me that when someone converts a page to a redirect, of course the categories get removed as well. Or should they?
Just curious in general, is there a guideline or rule-of-thumb about what to do with the categories of a page that has been turned into a redirect? Should they always be removed by default? Nothing at WP:BLANKANDREDIRECT addresses this.
Thank you for your time and efforts. -- DB1729 ( talk) 00:51, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi Steven. Being from Texas, I really enjoy editing Texas schools. Can you enlighten me on why NCES data is used for Texas schools rather than Texas Education Agency (TEA) data? Thanks in advance PhillyHarold ( talk) 14:36, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
Hello! I was wondering if you could help me out with an issue I encountered while editing the Macomb Area Conference page. On there, there's a bar graph near the bottom showing all the schools in the athletic conference, as well as what division of the conference they were placed in for football in any given year since the conference's inception. They recently realigned for the 2020 season, so I was going to update the graph with the new division placements when I encountered an odd problem. Sterling Heights moved from the Gold division up to the Blue division with this realignment, but when I attempted to update its respective line with this, it remained as gold. I tried tweaking with it, and it seems no matter what color id I gave it, it remained as gold when it was updated. This is completely unique to the Sterling Heights bar as well; every other school I changed had no issues when I updated them. I can't say I've ever interacted with you in the past, so I don't know how well versed you are with these kinds of problems, but you seemed reliable, and you're a member of Wikiproject Schools as well, which is somewhat relevant here, so I was hoping you could help me figure out what the issue is, or guide me to someone who can help, because it has me stumped. Thanks in advance! Finchwidget ( talk) 22:39, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
On 16 January 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Wellacre Academy, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Wellacre Academy has more solar panels than any other school in Great Britain, with 1,720? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Wellacre Academy. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Wellacre Academy), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi! Re: Education in the United Kingdom I think the idea is that people are to be encouraged to make these projects active again. The chances of that decrease exponentially if the wikiproject tags are removed.
I noticed btw that the wikiproject tags were not (possibly were never at) the likes of Oxford and Cambridge. Without traffic from those articles I couldn't see how the wikiproject would ever become active again. WhisperToMe ( talk) 18:18, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
You rejected my edit to the Park School of Baltimore page removing this portion, which I noted "lacked citations," asking why I removed sourced content:
"The average class size is 15 students.[citation needed] Park's faculty members have an average of 20 years of teaching experience, the highest of any independent Baltimore school, with an average of 11 years.[citation needed] Over 73 percent hold advanced degrees.[4][failed verification]
Ninety-two percent of Advanced Placement test-takers from the Class of 2018 scored a three or better.[citation needed] Over the course of the last 10 years[when?], Park has had more National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists than any other co-ed independent school in Maryland.[5][failed verification]"
This is not sourced content, and cannot be verified by any independent source. In some cases the information isn't even on the school website. It, as you can see, fails verification or needs citations. I've made the same edit again--it should be accepted. Once it is, the warning banners on the page should be removed, since all biased information (included a strangely worded segment in the Athletics section). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Termfrll ( talk • contribs) 02:24, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
I am unsure as to why you removed my grandmother’s alumni addition to the Burr & Burton Academy.
She was the oldest living alumni up until 2017 when she passed away at the age of 95 and can be confirmed under her adopted name of Betty O’Connor class of 1939.
Her biography to Wikipedia and its link to that are in progress.
While her estate is still being distributed I can tell you a copy of one of her publications is in the process of being donated to the academy that helped shape her future. Merlinares ( talk) 22:21, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Steven, I appreciate your undertaking and your patrolling school articles on WP. However, I'm not quite sure I understand your penchant for converting a new article (admittedly in its infancy) into a draft version. I believe that, while this may seem like a good idea for articles with no structure, little content, and few if any references, it is against the intent of Wikipedia in its themes of collaboration and accumulated participation and content.
While I admit that articles initially submitted are often not nearly comprehensive enough, it seems to that relegating one to draft status prevents others from adding, editing and using the article until such time as a draft is deemed worthy enough. I see tens if not hundreds of WP articles which do not measure up to excellent standards — yet I am optimistic that, over time, the article will improve and become more useful. I question how Wikipedia's strength of collaboration and cooperation can be utilized if articles appear in some limbo state, requiring an initial entry to be so complete and polished that it requires significant effort by an individual to overcome the article's requirements. Rather, I suggest editors trawl for articles which present falsehoods and inaccuracies instead of preventing growth and input from other Wikipedians.
I'm certain that you have much more knowledge about these aspects than I do, although I have been editing and creating content for quite a while on WP. If possible, please provide me with a better idea of why both articles you've selected of my recent creation are not worthy of "non-draft" status. While I perceived your first action (on the Our Saviour Lutheran High School article) as a constructive way for me to add more information and sources, I quickly proceeded to do so. I'm surprised that the second action (on the second article about Kings Mountain High School) even occurred, however, as I thought I had provided at least as much source information in the text and references to at least be viewable and editable by others. When we consider that the review process to move something from draft to non-draft status may take up to 6 months, I believe that this designation should be used much less than it appears you do. So I would like both your reflection on this and your help educating me. It is difficult to not feel resentful when trying to help build WP and to receive what appears to be obstruction. I have no specific interest in either of these article's subjects. I merely notice occasionally when an article does not exist and have tried to help start one.
Maybe I am mistaken and Wikipedia has evolved far enough now that my old ways cannot (should not) continue. Maybe, however, the standard for articles needs to be balanced against encouraging the growth of information and helping to shape and support it, rather than reject something in its earliest stages. I know this was a lengthy message to you, but I hope you recognize that I sincerely do what I do to help increase the value of WP.-- SidP ( talk) 23:58, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
Dear Steven, I have some new information regarding St. Mary's Central High School that should be added to its Wikipedia page. In the Fall of 2019, St. Mary's moved locations from the previous address of 1025 North 2nd Street, Bismarck ND 58501 to 5802 Ridgeland Dr, Bismarck, ND 58503. The information in NCES is outdated and it has the former address of the school. On St. Mary's official website ( https://www.smchs.org/) on the bottom of the web page is the new address and contact information for the school. Also, I founded more recent numbers for student enrollment and the teaching staff, however, I don't know how I'd be able to site this source as it is a pdf. The website to find this information on is ( https://bismarckdiocese.com/education) and the pdf with the information on it is in the bottom left corner under the 2019-20 Catholic Schools Directory. Hopefully, this information I found could be of use on this page and help in updating it. Thank you for your time and consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KLarson3 ( talk • contribs) 01:36, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for letting know about the spacing problem in the infobox. I have no idea why it's doing that, I'm not purposely doing that. Looking back at revisions I've made, it looks like this has happened with almost every single edit I've done in the past couple days (which is kind of late to realize considering I've edited around 100 infoboxes lately). Do you know why this is happening? Perhaps an error with visual editor (which I am editing from)? TheGEICOgecko ( talk) 01:03, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

I'd like to clarify why I made the changes to South Point High School. For one, I don't see a need to include "high school" in the type of school. It is assumed that South Point High School is a high school. If anything, it would be best to include that it is a Public secondary school for non-American viewers.
The start date and age template will help with showing the age of the school, and there is no reason to disclude this information, and will only benefit the reader. It helps give a picture to when the school was established.
The campus type, suburban, does not need a link ( MOS:OL), as English-speakers generally know what suburban means, in the same way it is assumed (therefore, unlinked) that the reader knows what United States, principal, or district is.
The school color edits were done to create optimal comparison of colors. There is no reason for there to be a border, except in the case of the color being white, of which in that case a light border would be best. Putting the colors side by side is optimal visually, both in a sense of comparing the school colors, and of an appealing sense.
The en-dash is simply more appropriate than a hyphen, as it is a range of years.
The deletion of the "www." in the school website is an attempt to minimize the number of readers that see the website link awkwardly sitting on two lines. There is no need for www. to be included, so I have removed it.
It also seems that a while back, you removed an edit on the school, of which I added the CEEB code. You said that other CEEB-related fields were removed, so it isn't worth adding the code. Similarly, I could argue that head-related fields (ie, Vice Principal) was removed, so it isn't worth adding principal/head fields. But the fact is that CEEB was considered useful enough to be included in the infobox, and unless it is decided that it should be removed, there is no reason to disclude it. TheGEICOgecko ( talk) 02:34, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
Looking back at the article, this school in particular has the color black, which matches the border. However, I think it should still have a border value of none for the sake of consistency, as there is less reason to include a border.
Also, I think that adding the line break in the school colors would be best due to it being subtley easier to compare the words to the colors if they are somewhat lined up in this way. I believe that even the subtle things matter, and that if there is no reason to disclude the line break, it would be best to include it. TheGEICOgecko ( talk) 02:41, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi User:Steven (Editor), I recently created and wrote the entire Alpine Learning Group—a prestigious special education private school serving autistic children in New Jersey—article and was looking to nominate it as a WP:GAN. I am wondering if you could check if the references need any improvements and fix them (as well as any other edits) before I am nominate the article. Thanks, and take care! ATC .

The title is hidden in the 'live' example, so it won't show the coord at the top of the infobox school template page. In the cut/paste example, 'title' should not be shown as within the 'hidden' remarks, as when this cut/paste example is copied to an article page, the coord would show both in the infobox and at the top of the article, like it normally would. I don't understand, at all, why you would want the title within hidden remarks for the Australian school, as it is not shown that way in the UK or USA example. Please explain your reasoning? Funandtrvl ( talk) 02:14, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
| coordinates = {{Coord|51.188115|0.264445|region:GB-KEN_dim:100|format=dms|display=inline<!--,title-->}}
In the cut/paste version (2nd infobox) for the UK school infobox, the 'title' parameter is shown as normal, so that it can be copied into a new or existing UK schools article:
| coordinates = {{Coord|51.188115|0.264445|region:GB-KEN_dim:100|format=dms|display=inline,title}}
Please note that I have reverted your last edit, as it incorrectly showed 'title' within hidden comment remarks for the cut/paste example for the Australian schools. Regards, Funandtrvl ( talk) 02:34, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi there. Thanks for your suggested changes to Don College. Last year there was significant discussion on the nomenclature of Australian schools where you provided great input. Thanks. As I now recall it there was consensus, in describing schools, to not use the genders unless it was a single sex school (boys or girls, for either the entire or part of the school years). On this basis, I will remove the term co-educational for the Tasmanian government colleges. Rangasyd ( talk) 11:26, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi there. I reverted your edit on Daubeney Academy as it is not needed - the article already mentions this school is an academy in both its infobox and its History section (see Wikipedia guidelines on OVERLINKING). Besides, 'academy status' really has no meaning - we don't put 'grammar school status' or 'free school status' or 'community school status' etc for other schools. A school's 'Academy status' relates to the governance of the school which is best explained in the main body of the article and not the lead...
And as for me reverting you being a 'hostile edit'? How is reverting 'hostile'? I don't see it mentioned in any Wikipedia guidelines...maybe this is something YOU have to get over. As always, any questions, please feel free to contact me... Bleaney ( talk) 15:51, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi there :-)
Let's start again...
I have problems with the 'academy status' label that a lot of English school articles have on Wikipedia... The Department for Education does not use the term, it only really crops up here on Wikipedia. Now i'll admit I used the term liberally myself when I was editing and creating articles a few years ago, but that was when Academies were still extremely rare and therefore a bit of a novelty. Now a large proportion of secondary schools are academies, and no longer the exception. As we know being an 'academy' in England relates to its funding structure and governance, they still remain schools. While mentioning the fact that these schools are academies is useful and noteworthy, is it really so important to put into the lead of an article? Is it not better mentioned in the main body of the article, where it can be explained that the school was previously blah blah blah, but became an academy in blah blah blah? As I mentioned previously we don't do it for other types of schools (we don't say with foundation school status or with community school status in article leads). What are your thoughts about this? Bleaney ( talk) 16:56, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
Per WP:RMUM, an article can be moved by any autoconfirmed editor "without discussion if all of the following apply: No article exists at the new target title; There has been no discussion (especially no recent discussion) about the title of the page that expressed any objection to a new title; and It seems unlikely that anyone would reasonably disagree with the move." All of these three criteria are satisfied. Do you have any legitimate purpose in obstructing this move? Are you now following and undoing all of my edits for tendentious reasons? Alansohn ( talk) 21:15, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
The reason I accepted the draft was because I thought it would probably survive at AfD and thus thought it appropriate to accept given the criteria of both AfC and Draftify. Feel free to nominate for deletion if you think differently I won't take it personally. Best, Barkeep49 ( talk) 17:56, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for using {{ AFC comment}} to log the copyvio on Draft:Hyogo Prefectural Kobe High School. Seeing that, I found and removed the copyvio and slapped a {{ copyvio-revdel}} template on it.

You enjoy maps! I zoomed in on the infobox map. /info/en/?search=Michaela_Community_School#/map/0 At 3 zooms- the pointer has separated from the highlighted box.

I just found out that you tagged Template:HBO for speedy deletion on grounds it acted as a substantial duplicate of Template:WarnerMedia Studios & Networks. I have filed to contest because the template was created on a similar basis as other templates focused on the multinational corporate structure of a U.S.-based television network (such as Template:ESPN and Template:Nickelodeon), and included links not featured in the template you asserted it duplicates. In addition, as the template's creator, I received no notification on my talk page that it was being contested (as would be normal procedure for deletion of content created by a particular editor) and the reasoning for deletion is undercut by the fact you had copy-pasted the template structure into the Home Box Office section of the WarnerMedia Studios & Networks template around the time you requested the HBO template's deletion, effectively causing some of the duplication you cited as justification for deletion. I would have instead kept the HBO template as a standalone while also treeing it within the WarnerMedia Studios & Networks template. TVTonightOKC ( talk) 06:34, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
You seem to be taking the lead on infoboxes. The Hundred of Hoo Academy- this is interesting infobox as it has been edited by an ip who is attempting to express: the executive principals title and his name, and the local principals title and name. As an ip he is not privy to the discussions we have had, and naively is doing his best. From it we can see our missing fields- and the need for two more to represent the executive principal who will be shared with other schools in the MAT. I suggest
Au contraire. We just need the two I have defined above to describe the most most common type of state school- the academy. I have renamed r_head to religious_head to be more specific in its intention. There was a discussion years back about it not being used to name deputy heads or head of houses. It is needed in certain catholic schools, and in certain islamic schools. I believe that all the other parameters can be abandonned and expressed using the three above. The remaining problem is what do other countries need. We need input on that, and before making any changes, we need to consult on the project talk page and the infobox talk page. It important that the parameter names are clear, as this template attracts a large number new and occasional editors. I got involved in a destubathon and have destubbed all the secondary schools in Norfolk, than then many elsewhere and I saw how a lot of naive editors were approaching Wikipedia schools which gives me some data to work with, and the wondrous names they give their principals (MAT and local) and there is some deep internal politics involved.Some take a hierarchical approach while others see the MAT almost as a bought-in service and thus secondary. But you can be sure that the Executive principal gets paid more than the local headteacher
What are you talking about? I can see it on the article named in the nomination. Can you correct it- then explain what went wrong?
I really don't find it very helpful when you jump in when I am in the middle of editing an article. I want to spend the first two hours of the morning adding properly referenced content not squabbling about a work in process. The rules on references state the over-riding principle is that the reference must exist, even if we can't access it on line. I agree that the internal school document is too weak to remain- and it requires you and me to attempt to find more parallel references. Steven, you have never told me your location- I haven't a clue how much of the Kent Education history have experienced, or which libraries you will access to. Tag the paragraph and leave it a month to give other editors to help- I can think of two who might be watching or could be asked.
You are right about the broken references- each one needs to be replaced, and often the text updated. In some cases it will require rewriting another wikipage!
Incidently I am finding a lot of pages that once were displaying module= mapframe, are still displaying that map along with the new automatic map. In most cases they can be deleted but there are some that display extra information such as two sites that must be retained. Suggestions? I might add more to this paragraph later today. ClemRutter ( talk) 09:47, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
Iĺl have a look tomorrow, but every UK academy has two heads so it is a big problem
Yes- see the reason- its not our fault that both of them look as bad- the web page graphics are appalling. Poor oversight by management again. When you did the improvement it would have been helpful to have pinged me to let me know you were orphaning an image. That was the problem there.
Yes, but what exactly is "school internal document", it's just plain text only that says only this, that could mean anything and does not help at all? It's like me going to an article, adding some information and then putting school internal document as a reference. Don't forget you can still access the previous history text in the edit history, you're welcome to add it back pending you can add sources for it, don't just add it all back, the section had references to the school website that didn't work and unsourced statements (the citation needed tags dated back to 2011!) — some of the references don't mention the school.Communication problem again! Say what you want to do first on the talk page when you know the editors working on the page. The issue goes back I think to a suggestion that text from a page The Three tier system on the Hoo Peninsula should be merged into this page, then the next dispute about the way the school declined on the resignation of Ray Robinson was added - with too much detail. I think I say this stuff in a briefing paper to members of Medway Councillors, but we need a proper reference before we cull the text. I have made several changes to the references as you will see in the sandbox.
That is great- can it be done by a bot rather than manually? If we must do it manually- can we draw up a list (hidden category) of the boxes that need changing.

Hi Steven,
My name is Sophie and I am very new to being a Wikipedia user editing and writing articles. I am contacting you because I saw that you had made changes to Niall Dunne's Wikipedia page a couple years ago. I was hoping I could get your help to create a new section on his page. As I am currently working at Polymateria, the company at which Niall is CEO I am unable to update his page due to WP:COI guidelines but am wondering whether you might be happy to help me add a section to his page?
If you are happy to help me I can send you the text that I would like to update the page with.
Again, as said I am very new to this side of Wikipedia so please do let me know if there is another way I should be trying to make these changes.

Great. You have just done what I was about to ask you to do. Thanks. Real life intervened. I stopped when I couldn't add the default 'area' to a multi-site maplink before I attempted to add the related prep- school in Gilling Castle ( a lesser task! ) What we have at the moment is fine. So I am back on my hobby horse about readable documentation. Searching for the above information, it is not clear from the example of UK school how to do what you have told me with that one example edit. The rest of the text is just too dense for the un-confident user- or the user is just too dense for the text, or both. To understand the documentation you have to have a knowledge of the history of the code.
Reading it all through again- to the user, it appears as if the map just appears like magic like the word information. There is no mention of the parameter mapframe in the usage or parameter list. It appears in a disconnected way in 2.1 Map and coordinates.
So they look to the example- and again I could find no example of how to override the default map or indeed the very useful maplink method for lines and multiple sites, There is no example on how to modify a maplink map and to still maintain the defined shape (I don't mean locating a wikidata q number- unless it is easy and idiot proof- I want editors to stay on focus and write copy, not to investigate Lua and mysql- fun though that may be.)
I'll have a go at tidying up the Infobox documentation, if you will copyedit my work so it complies with other infoboxes. ClemRutter ( talk) 22:41, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Happy Census 2021 Day. Help needed. As part of a London wikimeetup we got to attempting a GAN review which is how I got to helping an editor with adding a detailed map to Template:Infobox civil conflict for his page Shaheen Bagh Protests. What goes in and on the map and article content is for the editor to decide. The question is how do we get any OSM map in to that infobox. Though I can't pull up an appropriate example there are other infobox templates that could do with their push-pin maps being overwritten on occasions. So have you got any ideas what we could do here?

Hello. I noticed on my watchlist that this page was removed from Category:Lists of schools in Tennessee and then saw you had redirected it. That's fine, but I guess it never occurred to me that when someone converts a page to a redirect, of course the categories get removed as well. Or should they?
Just curious in general, is there a guideline or rule-of-thumb about what to do with the categories of a page that has been turned into a redirect? Should they always be removed by default? Nothing at WP:BLANKANDREDIRECT addresses this.
Thank you for your time and efforts. -- DB1729 ( talk) 00:51, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi Steven! Hope you're well. I saw you reverted the updates and citations I added to MOT Charter School. Can I ask why? The version you restored doesn't have sufficient citations and I worked really hard to fix that. If I'm violating any rules I'd like to know so I don't continue to do it. Thanks!

What made you consider the notable alumni update a “non-notable alumni,” just curious? Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.181.81.189 ( talk) 03:28, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
