Wikipedia:Peer review/Sacred Heart Convent School (Jamshedpur)/archive1

This is just an article about a school that I attend. I am not sure if a peer review is the right approach . . . but I want to make it the best article possible. Any and all constructive criticisms are welcome. (Arundhati Bakshi (talkcontribs)) 18:32, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article needs a lead per WP:LEAD and references to start with. --Jaranda wat's sup 01:37, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's a nice-looking, decently-developed article, with just a few areas needing enhancement. But I have a few comments.
  • Could the introduction at the top be expanded to something along the lines of the FA-quality Caulfield Grammar School article?
  • I looked through the entire article and nowhere could I find where it gave the grades supported. I did see 9th through 12th listed, but is that the full range? Please clarify this in the introduction.
  • The list of annual events needs some dates, or date-range criteria.
  • There are an awful lot of bulleted lists on the page. Can any of those be converted to prose or tables?
  • The core values of the "Educational Objectives, Mission and Vision" is reading like a vanilla mission statement. It seems like this could be modified into neutral prose commentary.
  • Finally, it's a minor point, but could the table at the top include the school colors, per Caulfield Grammar School.
That's all I have. I hope this helped. Thanks. — RJH 16:22, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I have tried to clear up these problems as well as shortening the table of contents so the Clubs don't take up more space than the academics. I got rid of a number of lists and consolidated them into paragraphs, and tried to create a decent WP:LEAD and make the Ed. Obj. section a bit more neutral (not sure if I succeded). As far as I know, we don't have offical school colours. (Arundhati Bakshi (talkcontribs)) 11:24, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If there are no official school colors then you could always just say None. But based on the images I'd have taken the colors to be blue and white. So maybe that needs to be clarified? *shrug* — RJH 16:00, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I have that listed under the "Schhol Uniform," so not sure if I should put them if they don't have any "official" colours. I will ask my principal and see what she says. Thanks. (Arundhati Bakshi (talkcontribs)) 23:24, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi - please be careful that the article doesn't come across as a pamphlet advertising the school. You may wanna look at FAs about schools - Caulfield Grammar School, Michigan State University. Expansion tips: school in perspective of schools all over India, curriculum standards, examination systems, current issues, etc. Good luck! Rama's Arrow 05:05, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it looks like I am having some problems with that and I noticed that myself. I amtrying to work on making it more like an article and less like an advertisement . . . one of the problems I am having is that its the only school I have ever went to and don;t have much to compare it with. I will try to follow your suggestions though, although I know little of rankings in comparisons with other schools. I did try to touch on the exams . . . ICSEs . . . but it looks kind of naked. The clubs part I find is too long . . . E/C activities are important but I think the article makes them look *too* important and then I shoretend the list some. I will try some more. Thanks for your help! (Arundhati Bakshi (talkcontribs)) 13:43, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
