closure of woodsend school

[edit]

i don't think that "Recently elected Conservatives decided to close Woodsend Primary School to save money" should be included as such without a citation. stating the sole reason as "to save money" may well be accurate (i don't know) but without a citation it makes the article read as biased, rather than as factual account. it seems from other sources that the reason was surplus school spaces in the area.

edit: surplus school spaces in the school itself, not the area:

Last accessdates

[edit]

We've got a mishmash of last acceessdates in this article now, some 4 May 2009 and others 2009-05-04. The latter seems to have become the preferred format for accessdates ("Unlinked ISO 8601 format is preferred"). Any objections to standardising on that? --Malleus Fatuorum 17:13, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was just about to start standardising things within the article in preparation for starting a "towns of Trafford" Featured Topic. Nev1 (talk) 17:17, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I can't remember the rules for Featured Topics, and I'm feeling too lazy to look them up. Are there enough FA/GAs now for that? --Malleus Fatuorum 17:35, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, with four of the six articles in the topic at FA (Trafford would be the title article) we're well over the 33% minimum proportion of FAs. My suggestion of "Trafford" as a topic was just too broad and too much work (the cricket and football grounds need work amongst others) so your original suggestion of towns in Trafford makes a lot of sense.
