Harrow School[edit]
This article is a featured article on the Schools Portal and could do with a few style checks by more experienced wikipedians than I so that it can conform to some of the harder to define qualities of a featured article. As a current pupil at Harrow School I personally cannot think of much more to add and some of my comments may by their nature be biased. Any help or critiscm would be appreciated. It would be great if this was featured as there are few featured education articles and Harrow is such and interesting school especially to those who have never before really known about the UK private education system. (n.b. this is a [sort-of] self-nomination) --Oli 22:50, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for all the editing people have been doing to the Harrow article (especiall Chriscf)- its been really helpful. Keep up the good work. Can I also add that it would be useful if editors who don't know much about this topic have a read and give their impressions on the dicussion page, in particular style, how interesting it was and what needs doing for it to be a featured article. --Oli 18:49, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
- A great article, and I was happy to feature it on the Schools Portal. I'm wondering why there isn't much on the history of what is obviously a very famous school, as this seems to all be covered in the opening lead paragraph and should be fleshed out more. I'd also like to see short phrases to outline the importance of the Notable Harrovians (eg. 13th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom) so people don't necessarily need to read their articles. Obviously, the images are a problem. The pics of the school are copyrighted, and doen't have good usage rationales. I'd suggest that you Oli are a student at the school and should easily be able to get your hands on a digital camera and take some good shots of the campus. I'll add more comments if I think of them, but you're on the right track. Harro5 00:25, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback. I will do some investigation in the school archives on the history and will take some photos of my own to upload.--Oli 11:20, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
