Hi, flagging upHale School#History, particularly to editors with more expertise in Australian school history than I have. There are some claims here about the school's representation of its own history that are either unsourced or poorly-sourced. I considered cutting everything without a RS, but if we can find sources that would be preferable.Tacyarg (talk)08:20, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Recently, I've come a cross a wide swath of this sort of article where a huge number of external links to the schools' websites have been introduced. The worse case of these wasList of high schools in Texas which had more than 230 external, inline links to the websites of the more than 200 schools that didn't have articles on the project. I removed them all. I've been working my way through other such lists, and have encountered some where instead of doing an inline link, an enterprising editor has done the school websites addresses as citations. Citations to do what, I don't know. Maybe prove their existence? Anyway, I've been removing these as wellexample. But today, Jahaza (@Jahaza: courtesy ping) reverted me[1] indicating they are citations, not external links. Personally, I fail to see the difference whether they are inline or done as citations; it's the same result.WP:NOTLINKFARM notes that Wikipedia is neither a mirror nor a repository of links. Other opinions? --Hammersoft (talk)23:44, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The policyWP:NOTLINKFARM is clearly and explicitly a discussion of the external link section of articles. Naturally, an article that is a list of schools will link to the school's sites. This is natural as a citation and regardless, every school article as part of the info box links to the school itself. The real question is whether these lists should be trimmed or deleted underWP:NOTDIRECTORY. But as long as we have lists of schools it will be appropriate to substantiate that information with links.Jahaza (talk)06:13, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No,WP:NOTLINKFARM is not "clearly and explicitly a discussion of the external link section of articles." It includes some specific focus on "External links" sections but it's not entirely about just those sections. AndWP:EL also explicitly says that articles shouldn't have inline external links.

And citations should be to specific materials, not just vague hand waves in the direction of an entire website.ElKevbo (talk)12:08, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The articleHawthorne Valley Waldorf School has beenproposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Tagged for BLP sources for 8 years. Tagged for notability concerns for a month. Fails the relevant notability guidelines.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may bedeleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the{{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in youredit summary or onthe article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing{{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop theproposed deletion process, but otherdeletion processes exist. In particular, thespeedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, andarticles for deletion allows discussion to reachconsensus for deletion.Bearian (talk)20:30, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have submitted a COI edit request for the British School of Bucharest article. The proposed update is neutral and supported by independent sources.

If an uninvolved editor could take a look when convenient, I would be grateful.

Hello! On behalf ofAdtalem Global Education, I havesubmitted a few COI edit requests to improve the article from a Wikipedia perspective. The article has had two warning banners for over a decade and my requests are related toacquisitions and divestitures,history,campuses and enrollment, andfinances.

I'm seeking editor assistance to review and implement the requests appropriately, if any project members are interested in taking a look. Thanks for your consideration,Inkian Jason (talk)14:06, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
