Edits to Castle School Taunton
[edit]Thanks for your edits to Castle school. I reverted some of your earlier edits because of the reference formatting problem, which is now resolved. You have updated it appropriately, however we tend to avoid phrases such as "most recent" (when referring to the plays) because this requires it to be updated on a regular basis - which it might not be - & there are arguments about whether this is "encyclopedic". You did well spotting the spelling errors etc & updating the page but it would be useful if you could provide an edit summary for each change, which you have only done intermittently. If possible provide references for the information provided eg specialist status & claims such as "which is one of the only all weather pitches in the UK" (which I know is untrue as currently worded). Try to avoid abbreviations eg CDT which is very UK centric when the article can be read by anyone in the world & observe WP:NPOV for phrases such as "site is very large" this depends on your perspective & is smaller than some schools & larger than others - give the acerage or similar if you can. Also it is useful to wikilink phrases & words so that readers can get more information if there is an item they want to find out more about. I've now added an infobox which needs completing see Template:Infobox UK school for instructions. The article could also do with a picture or two if you have them?
I'm interested in the course you are on which requires yo to edit a wikipedia page & why you chose this one? Also remember to sign your posts on talk pages with 4 tildes ~~~~. Well done for your edits so far & I hope you won't stop contributing just because your course finishes.— Rod talk 15:03, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- OK hope the comments were helpful. Wikipedia can be a confusing place when you first start, if I can help just let me know - you might also want to join the Somerset WikiProject? Just watch out for WP:COI when editing Castle School.— Rod talk 16:20, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
