- @User:Chris troutman, per my edit [1]: "... we do understand that school, college or university must come first." This may be an ENGVAR issue. Please see [2] a US publication and [3]. In some connotations, "school" may apply to all educational institutions and in others, to the education of children ie, not college or university. My edit was to make the statement, per my edit comment, more inclusive and broader than colloquial perceptions of what a "school" is. So, per your edit comment: "guess what?" This is the "D" in WP:BRD. Regards, Cinderella157 (talk) 14:51, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Cinderella157: Hi. I apologize if I came off wrong. I didn't realize you were one of the coordinators. In fact, I voted for you. I've reverted your edits because none of them seem constructive. I understand many Wikipedians think the thing to do with Wikipedia is edit, thereby reifying the false belief that pages need to be edited, when they might be fine as-is. You may feel a sense of ownership since you are an elected coordinator. Back to the original issue, for me the word school is broad and incusive, already. I understand that we have children editing who are still in high school. Some, like me, are in grad school. I don't think it needs changing. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:14, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Chris Troutman, I appreciate the apology. There is no "ownership" here. This is part of the audit (which is not of my creation). I really think that this is a matter of ENGVAR. My intent was to make the page more inclusive. I note that you are in "grad school" but, such usage of "school" is not so broadly interpreted across the English domain - hence, my intent. In Au, schools in a university are an administrative division within a faculty and above a department. I would believe this to be based upon the British model and relatively common across the Commonwealth. Per my intent and the rationale for same, I think that the edit is reasonable. I leave this open to the process of building a consensus. Having said that, my edits have been made as part of an audit process that is intended (by virtue of what it is) to improve the project and, in this case, the Academy. This is a conscious process and not an individual whim on my part. You are welcomed to participate in this process here, and more generally. I hope this provides some context to the matter.

- Yep, I'll leave it to you. I'm no longer a member of the WikiProject; I was just reverting what I thought were ill-advised edits. Thanks for the reply. I'll defer to the consensus of the members. Chris Troutman (talk) 17:10, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

@AustralianRupert, might you address the sysop point above. I think that the "college and university" issue has been resolved per above and has been put back in. There were a couple of other reverts too but these are relatively minor. You might cast an eye. If you concur, I will close this. Regards Cinderella157 (talk) 10:18, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- Added the link. Happy with the later changes, also. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 10:44, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
