Talk:Helsby High School

What the?

This page has gone from a concise description to a crude history and is none the better for it.

Crude history? This page turned up when i was searching for a location in WoW. I find the paragraph containing 'The opposing factions "Yellow" and "Orange"...' and '...will feast in the Den of Mortal Delights.' hard to believe. 86.3.204.7 (talk) 17:42, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Assessment

Stub: with potential to rapidly become a B. It is a stub because there are no references so can't be verified. Look at The Petersfield School to see good references- which is not as crisply written yet still is a 'B'. Look at the criteria for a B.

Way forward to a B.

Edit to fulfil all 6 criteria for B-Class. So:-

• B1:The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations where necessary. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited. The use of either < -ref-> tags or citation templates such as {{cite web}} is not required.

Rule of thumb 1 per paragraph- and one each time a wow fact is introduced

• B2:The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies. It contains a large proportion of the material necessary for an A-Class article, although some sections may need expansion, and some less important topics may be missing.

Try: Toponomy, History, Governance, Geography, dickie birds, geology, industry- military herige and history in general. Look to a similar article.

• B3:The article has a defined structure. Content should be organized into groups of related material, including a lead section and all the sections that can reasonably be included in an article of its kind.

• B4:The article is reasonably well-written. The prose contains no major grammatical errors and flows sensibly, but it certainly need not be "brilliant". The Manual of Style need not be followed rigorously- but it wouldn't hurt.

• B5:The article contains supporting materials where appropriate. Illustrations are encouraged, though not required. Diagrams and an infobox etc. should be included where they are relevant and useful to the content.

It can fail on the relevance of the images - the old guard don't like too many pictures as it destroys the display on a smart phone. All imagtes need an alt= text for the non sighted reader describing the contents of the image.

• B6:The article presents its content in an appropriately understandable way. It is written with as broad an audience in mind as possible. Although Wikipedia is more than just a general encyclopedia, the article should not assume unnecessary technical background and technical terms should be explained or avoided where possible.

It fails when it lacks too many sections and appeals mainly to a sectional audience.

Most of that is there! --ClemRutter (talk) 20:16, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
