Project

If this is part of a project to list all the schools in the United States, please create/use a category tag for this - and other districts, as well.

Mandel, I know you hate stubs, but education is important to some Wikipedians, just as much as minor characters in Harry Potter or Homer Simpson. If there was less hostility to stubs, maybe people would work more diligently on expanding them; I for one do not relish spending 10 minutes writing an article and 20 minutes having to defend its existence, so I gravitate toward topics which are not "deletion magnets".

Does anybody have some good text for FRANKLIN v. GWINNETT COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS to include for this page? I believe this to be a landmark case.

Locating places in unincorporated areas

@Gab4gab:

Hi! I read this edit summary.

The heart of the matter is that the US Postal Service does not follow jurisdictional boundaries when it states "city names" in postal addresses, and this confuses many readers. Many places with Suwanee addresses are in fact, not in Suwanee, and some are in a different county. The fact the city government of Suwanee itself points this out shows that I cannot take for granted that a place with a "Suwanee, GA" postal address is really in Suwanee.

In regards to the OR policy, a similar conundrum was discussed in 2010 at Talk:ENSCO, which discusses a place which has a "Falls Church, VA" address but is in fact in Fairfax County (in Virginia, cities are not located in counties). To get more feedback, I notified the WP:OR noticeboard at Wikipedia:No_original_research/Noticeboard/Archive_14#Using maps to determine locations. The solution arrived at the talk page was to include both the physical location and the USPS postal address name, using the maps as sources. I use this discussion as precedent that doing such is an acceptable way to check where someplace is, compliant with the OR policy.

Anyhow, in regards to the lead of this article, one can strictly say "near Suwanee" (I checked the latest map of Suwanee and the address "437 Old Peachtree Rd. NW Suwanee, GA 30024-2978" is not in it), which was a similar solution to the lead in Attempted assassination of Donald Trump (the venue had a Butler, PA address but was not in Butler). WhisperToMe (talk) 02:47, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am happy to accept whatever you suggest. It is interested, although not helpful, that NCES lists both a mailing address and physical address, both exactly the same. Gab4gab (talk) 04:16, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed I wish NCES actually took the time to delineate what municipality something is in, or if it is unincorporated. The good news is that the Census Bureau now directly indicates tertiary educational institutions (universities) and prisons on its census maps, so it is quite easy to point out where they really are (airports too are indicated, though not their boundaries, just their centers). WhisperToMe (talk) 04:20, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I simplified the lead, added the Census map for the county (to make it easier to see which areas are in the Suwanee city limits and which aren't), and moved the detail to an other facilities section. Cities in Georgia can annex, so if the City of Suwanee does annex the plot of land with the HQ (just like how Atlanta annexed Emory University), feel free to update!
