Eton College edit

One of the world's most famous schools, I'd like some feedback on how this important article can improve further to become the second school to achieve featured status on Wikipedia. Any thoughts or comments are welcomed. One area I see as needing improvement is the list of alumni - a partial list shouldn't be needed given four separate lists for alumni, and perhaps anyone living in the area could provide some GDFL pictures.

Great article, easy to read and informative. I didn't realise Eton was so close to Windsor castle. Some suggestions; don't explain terms that you have linked, some examples are "public school" and "oppidium". If people are unsure of the term then they will click on the link otherwise you're interrupting the flow of the passage (ain't hyperlinks great!). My other main concern is the list of current alumni. Whilst I'm sure it's of interest to students and their families, it's not relevant to the main Eton article. I'd break that part out into an article of it's own that way if it doesn't get updated as freqently as it should it won't affect the rest of the article. On that note, the past students of Eton is very relevant and should reside in the main article unless you want to make it an exhaustive list. Good work, keep writing! DanF, 9 November 2005 (AEST)

The alumni lists are now on separate pages. As for unnecessary explanations, Wikipedia sees links as being sources of extra information about topics, but where a word in an article is important to the subject, it should be defined to allow readers to read just that article and understand the content. Thanks for the feedback though. Harro5 20:21, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
