== Malek Fahd Islamic school

I always thought that this school was in Morroco, and not Greenacre. Can someone confirm or deny this? Sean00 13:36, 3 October 2007 (UTC) yes it is in Greenacre my son attends it

Nominated for did you know

I've nominated the article for WP:Did you know, see the nomination page at Template:Did you know nominations/Malek Fahd Islamic School for more information. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:37, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Independent School?

The article currently classifies this school as an independent school, which is defined in the linked article as one not dependent for its funding on government. However, according to the references cited, this school receives 80% of its funding from public funds. At the very least, this calls for clarification. Does the Australian government pay tuition to private schools?Bill (talk) 19:28, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

Downgrade class from B to Start

This article was upgraded from Start to B by User:Callanecc on 13 December 2015, without discussion. Until such time as an upgrade can be justified, the classification has been reverted. With thanks. Rangasyd (talk) 13:33, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

@Rangasyd: Why? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:03, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

@Callanecc: The article needs to meet the standards as per the Wikipedia quality scale which, for a B classification, are clearly outlined at WP:GA?. The process to nominate an article as a good article needs to be followed and and the process is clearly outlined at WP:GAN. An editor cannot simply change the article from Start to B, without discussions and consensus. Further, an article normally progresses from Start to C and then to B. Each of these steps should be reviewed by editors/administrators independent of editors who have contributed to the article to date. As the article currently stands, several citations are missing and there needs to be more content on the curriculum of the school and its academic results, together with a list of past principals, and a table of results against NAPLAN and HSC, etc., to suggest just a few improvements. To gain an idea of featured school articles, please visit WP:WPSCH#Featured articles. In an Australia content, Presbyterian Ladies' College, Sydney and Caulfield Grammar School are close to reaching featured article status and have already passed the good article (or B) standard. I hope that helps. Rangasyd (talk) 11:24, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

@Rangasyd: I think you might be confusing some aspects of the assessment process. There is absolutely nothing that requires an article to progress through each stage. There's nothing that prevents an article going from a stub to B class, or even FA. The A-class, GA and FA are separate from the other categories and do not require independent review. The B class criteria are at WP:B?. WP:COUNCIL/AFAQ states that any editor can change the assessment of an article up to B-class without discussion. If you truly don't believe that the article meets the criteria for B-class or C-class then that's fine. However, if you changed it back purely because I changed it without discussion, then you need to do an assessment of the article and properly determine where it sits on according to the criteria.

Lead section - once-prestigious claim

• The once-prestgious [sic] school

This sentence fragment from the lead section, while referenced by an ABC Online article, is not fully supported by the reference and falls foul of WP:SYN in that this conclusion is not explicitly stated by the source given. I don’t disagree, as a value judgment, it has logical support (although this is better borne out by the drop in academic performance data in the following section that the reference supplied) but it gets into tricky ground because it is a value judgment not directly quoted from that which is referenced. Suggest either obtaining a quality reference that says this, or editing this claim. Kangaresearch (talk) 15:21, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

@Kangaresearch: Moved unsubstantiated and opinionated claim in this offending sentence from lead and rewritten as prose within controversy section; and generally cleaned up article. Cheers. Rangasyd (talk) 11:44, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

@Rangasyd: Thanks for taking a look at it so quickly.  Resolved Kangaresearch (talk) 12:11, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Controversial alumni

I've removed the controversial alumni section as it is not compliant with Wikipedia policy. That is, it is not encyclopedic as it doesn't reflect what reliable sources are saying about the school rather than about people who went to the school. It's important that Wikipedia gives due weight to different bits of information. Including a section about controversial alumni suggests that the school may played a role and, unless multiple reliable sources about the school (not just mentioning it) say so, Wikipedia cannot do so.

Semi-protected edit request on 29 October 2020

I'd like to add a section on 'Alumni' which is backed by numerous reliable sources. Arabbeey (talk) 11:47, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
