I am interested in genealogy, and in the course of research I found that many American high school yearbooks over 50 years ago contained both a January graduating class and a June graduating class. Grade levels were split or staggered into "A" and "B" grades, e.g., you weren't in 10th grade, you were either in "10A" or "10B". Presumably one half moved up in January and the other half moved up in June. An example yearbook is here: [1]. Are there any available resources that discuss this historical practice?

According to the World Bank, the total population of the UAE double from 2004 (4m) to 2009 (8m). Was this really the case? Or is it just that the large population of foreign workers was undercounted before and that was fixed during that period? a455bcd9 (Antoine) ( talk) 06:04, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Just for making deals/transactions among close friends with foreign currencies (not to send money), is xe.com a WP:RS to check the rates? Félix An ( talk) 09:16, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
East Virginia ~ West Virginia, just like North Carolina ~ South Carolina and North Dakota ~ South Dakota, they are “opposite direction” names, and if so, then we can have a state name starting with the letter E. 2402:7500:92D:FD81:EC83:9EB4:F66F:5867 ( talk) 09:42, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
The question was can the name be changed. Yes, why not? The US has one state that changed its name, with no problems. -- 142.112.220.50 ( talk) 15:28, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
