[edit] Feedback

You wrote that you wanted feedback on Pinkerton_Academy, so here are a few thoughts.

  • "which opened its doors to only male students on 4 December 1815" seems awkward. "which opened as a boy's school on"; "which opened on 4 December 1815 as an all-male institution", or something similar?
  • there needs to be some mention of when it became co-educational.
  • The date of opening (1815) doesn't match the date of establishment (1814) or the date in the slogan ("Quality education since 1814").
  • "Former" is less informative than actual dates (e..g.: Gerry Whiting Hazelton - Former United States Representative from Wisconsin. vs Gerry Whiting Hazelton - United States Representative from Wisconsin, 1871-1875.)
  • I removed the "unreferenced" tag. - Nunh-huh 23:47, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, I took the suggestions. I didn't create the history section, but I think it meant that the school opened in 1815 but was built in 1814.--EvaGears 02:01, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
It sounds like they are cheating a bit as saying they were giving "quality education" before a single class was taught, but that's not your fault :) - Nunh-huh 03:06, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your sandbox

Just a quick heads-up for you ... I repaired a link to [[cross country]] in your sandbox b/c it pointed to a DAB page. It now points to [[cross country running]], which is what I believe you wanted. Cheers, PaddyM 20:54, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
