Elizabeth College, Guernsey edit

Nominator(s):  Formula One wiki 21:50, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about Elizabeth College, a single-sex independent school in Guernsey. It is the oldest school in Guernsey, and one of the oldest public schools in the British Isles. I believe an article with such significance to the island should reflect that significance in the article's standard.  Formula One wiki 21:50, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Passing comment: "places at Russell Group universities as well as Oxford or Cambridge". Oxford and Cambridge are members of the RG. - SchroCat (talk) 22:01, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • @SchroCat, I have replaced 'as well as' with 'including'. — Formula One wiki 22:52, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • Why separate them out at all? The RG is a prestigious group in toto, and Imperial constantly beats one, other or both in rankings tables. Just leave it was RG, with maybe a footnote to list the members. - SchroCat (talk) 22:57, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        • Done. I think the link to the RG page will suffice without a foonote. — Formula One wiki 23:06, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Image review

  • Suggest adding alt text
  • Captions that aren't complete sentences shouldn't end in periods
  • File:Elizabeth_College_Guernsey_crest.png: the given tag is for governmental seals. Who is believed to be the copyright holder? Same question applies to File:Elizabeth_College_logo.png
    • I believe I uploaded it correctly in accordance with the instructions at WP:WPSCH/AG#IB, so forgive me if it was used inappropriately. Is this to say that guidance is wrong? —Formulaonewiki 23:06, 24 November 2019 (UTC) [reply]
    • Scratch that last, I've clearly misread the guidance. I've corrected the licence and the supporting rationale/summary information for File:Elizabeth College Guernsey crest.png. As the image I've just mentioned is supposedly being used as the 'primary' means of identification for the school, that probably undermines any justification for having File:Elizabeth_College_logo.png also; perhaps it should be removed and deleted. —Formulaonewiki 23:42, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • File:Rambles_Among_the_Channel_Islands_by_a_Naturalist_Jean_Louis_Armand_de_Quatrefages_de_Bréau_dd.jpg: suggest amending the description to reflect the fact that this is not own work. Same with File:Rambles_Among_the_Channel_Islands_by_a_Naturalist_Jean_Louis_Armand_de_Quatrefages_de_Bréau_ee.jpg
  • File:The_Royal_College_of_Elizabeth,_Guernsey,_Channel_Islands._L_Wellcome_V0012715_-_CROPPED.jpg: source provides more information on the image's provenance that should be included in the description. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:04, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Coord note

  • This has been open around four weeks without attracting substantial commentary so I'm going to archive it. I'd recommend before re-nominating that you give Peer Review a try (hit and miss though that can be, admittedly) or, given you're new to FAC, investigate the FAC mentoring scheme.
