[edit] POV of Article

This article has much valuable info, but makes several unsubstantiated statements and tends to read like an advertisement for Florida Virtual. Alternate points of view and actual statistics and citations would help bring this page to neutrality. - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MLBbrad (talk • contribs) .

I disagree. There is nothing to advertise (as it is a US government-supported public school). I'm removing your tag. -- WiiVolve 03:07, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

FLVS may be a government-supported school, however, it does have to compete with other schools and as such it does have something to advertise. If you don't want to call it an ad, that's fine... but it's still certainly not NPOV.

Yeah, I also think it reads like an advertisement. It's okay for the article to say positive things about FLVS, but it seems too sugar-coated and written in a persuasive tone rather than an explanative tone. Something got rid of the advert warning; I'm going to put it back up and ask the person to discuss it instead. --Fastman99 00:03, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] To-Do List

Howdy,

Thanks to Andy's automatic peerreviewer.js script, here are some of the stuff we now know we need to change:

• The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and may or may not be accurate for the article in question.
• Per WP:CONTEXT and WP:MOSDATE, months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.
• This article does not have any categories. Please categorize it with relevant [[Category:Categories]].
• This article is a bit too short, and therefore may not be as comprehensive as WP:WIAFA critera 2(b) is looking for. Please see if anything can be expanded upon.
• Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
  • Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
• This article needs footnotes, preferably in the cite.php format recommended by WP:WIAFA. Simply, enclose inline citations, with WP:CITE or WP:CITE/ES information, with <ref>THE FOOTNOTE</ref>. At the bottom of the article, in a section named “References” or “Footnotes”, add <div class="references-small"><references/></div>.
  • To assist you with this, add {{subst:js|User:AndyZ/monobook.js/footnotehelper.js}} to your monobook.js file (mine is located at User:AndyZ/monobook.js) and then bypass your browser's cache by pressing: Mozilla/Safari/Konqueror: hold down Shift while clicking Reload (or press Ctrl-Shift-R), Internet Explorer: press Ctrl-F5, Opera: press F5. In editing mode, click on the "Footnote creater" tab that appears.
• The article will need references. See WP:CITE and WP:V for more information.
• Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that the it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 2a.
• You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions (and the javascript checklist; see the last paragraph in the lead) for further ideas.
