Revision as of 18:17, 14 June 2007
Woodbury High School
You have made numerous edits removing a non-existant Wikilink to Woodbury Junior/Senior High School. While the article does not exist -- yet -- there is no reason to remove it. Keeping both the red link to Woodbury Junior/Senior High School and the external link will allow school information to be accessible via the external link until teh wiki article is created and will allow the article to remain unchanged once the article is created. Until then, treat Woodury Junior/Senior High School as a palce holder for an article that is on its way. Alansohn 20:00, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Edit summary

Colonial Conference
The Misplaced Pages tables are going to end up setting the column width to fit the widest item in each column. You can tinker with the widths, but you're only going to create more problems for yourself and for those on different browsers. Leave well enough alone. There's no need to list all of the member schools in the high school articles, and I would strongly suggest removing the list and just leaving the first sentence, which describes the conference. Great work! Alansohn 20:08, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Date links
In general, the Manual of Style discourages linking year-only dates. The general rule should be that you should only wikilink something that people might reasonably link to. So it would probably be appropriate in a sentence "The year 1972 was a pivotal year in American politics", but not "The school opened in 1972". Also avoid duplicating links; linking teh same term that has been linked previously, especially if its within a few paragraphs of another mention. Alansohn 20:50, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Clayton HS
Hey Alansohn I noticed you're the one who created most of the South Jersey high school pages. However, there is no Clayton High School page. When I searched for it the closest thing that came up was Clayton Middle/High School which has no official page. Is there any way that you can delete that and create "Clayon High School (New Jersey)"? I feel that the "Middle" in "Middle/High School" is unnecessary...if anything it could be Clayton Junior-Senior High School like you did for Woodbury's page. I'd help edit the Clayton one whenever possible. Thanks. -jrcla2
- While I'm not crazy about the name, the school district used Clayton Middle/High School to refer to the school. I will try to create a shell for this page as soon as possible. Alansohn 02:49, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
