[edit] Featured content
I will aim to update the featured content of the portal each week, but finding info for the Did You Know and as-of-yet uncreated In The News section may be more difficult. Any suggestion for any of these sections should be posted here on the portal talk page. Thank you. Harro5 11:02, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
I and many other wiki editors have been working on Clackamas High School and would love any input on what we could improve on to get it to featured status Guerberj 20:52, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
How about Scotch College, Perth for featured content? Hamedog 03:11, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Portal:Education needs attention
Portal:Education needs some significant cleanup. Perhaps someone involved in this portal could lead an effort to improve what could be considered the parent portal of this one. An ongoing commitment to maintenance would be nice but is certainly not required. The current version is so bad (and has been that way since May) that if I cannot find someone to take it on, I will submit it for deletion. 66.167.136.148 02:47, 11 October 2005 (UTC).
[edit] Ownership?
Worthwhile changes were made today by myself and others, however User:Harro5 removed them. Does he claim to have ownership over this portal? To me that's what it seems like.
All I choose to do was update the 'Features Picture,' add another article to the showcase, and add a new very warranted section 'Notable Principals' (other contributors to this page agreed with all my changes).
Harro5 please stop claiming ownership. It's a community site, and this portal needs community assistance. It is not yours.
- All sections have recently been updated (as of last weekend). The notable principals section is designed to dispute a current AFD on Simon Gipson, and is not a useful section. Who are the "other contributors"? I manage this portal, and ask for suggestions on the talk pages as to what should be added next. Harro5 22:23, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
If all content was updated as of last weekend then perhaps you won't have a problem with us submitting the school photo (as done previously), for the featured photo in a couple of days (say 2-3). I am sure that the majority of members to this portal will agree. Secondly, as per Wikipedia policy, anyone who wishes to maintain this portal can. Thus, you do not have editorial control, and attempting to exercise this via suggestions on talk pages is insulting to other users. I, and I speak for everyone involved I think, will be willing to indulge you for a number of days at which time we will be adding the whole school photo. Also on a side note, Geelong Grammar and St Michael's are good articles to include in this section of the portal, and will be added again (you must have reverted that section by accident). Agree for the time being btw in regards to the 'Notable Principals' section, as ong as the AFD is on that article it should not be put here. Kind RegardsBeyondcapricorn 06:18, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] New Showcase Article
I've touched up the PEA article a bit, and though there are still some conclusions to be reached (specifically about the Jargon section), I think its been brought back up to showcase article standards. In my opinion any advertisement like language is gone, as is what im able to find of the NPOV stuff.
[edit] updated article
Hi, I just updated Scotch College, Perth I was wondering if someone could check for errors, and if any are present please correct them thanks. Hamedog 13:57, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Showcase Article of the Month
I'm not changing it myself because I'm not sure about customs or standards this Portal usually holds itself to, but shouldn't the bolded Plano Senior High School be linked on the Showcase article of the month template? As far as I can tell, there's no way to directly link there - save for going down to boxes to the collection of all Showcase articles. -Rebelguys2 21:36, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Showcase nomination
Hopkins has finally been featured, so when you're updating Showcase Article of the Month there's a potential candidate out there, Harro... :D Staxringold 14:32, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good work
Good work in that Stuyvesant High School was a featured article on Wikipedia's front page. --ShaunMacPherson 02:59, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
