[edit] Summer schools list
-
- Hello, sure, and welcome to wikipedia. I made the assumption that it was a test, because the page only contained a single school, but perported to be a list (presumably of all such schools). Since I know that if this list did grow to full inclusion, it would quickly become unwieldly and of little use to any reader, as there was no reasonable constraints to define what limited group of schools would be included. It seemed like any school anywhere in the world, no matter how big or small, if they were open for at least a single day in a single summer, would be listed. This kind of list never works very well, so I assumed you were just trying out the editor interface, and hit save by accident. Feel free to recreate it, but you might want to go over some of the other lists at Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools to see how they approach these issues on school lists. Thanks, JERRY talk contribs 06:47, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

- No, please do not bow down. Feel free to create the list as you described it. But you may want to make a talk page for it first, and define what schools should be included. Making such a list requires somebody to maintain it... so especially if you are willing to check-in on it every so often, please do recreate it.
