Wellacre Academy
Image of the school in May 2006.
- ... that Wellacre Academy has more solar panels than any other school in Great Britain?
- ALT1:... that Wellacre Academy has more solar panels than any other school in Great Britain with 1,720?
- ALT2:... that Wellacre Academy has 1,720 solar panels which is more than any other school in Great Britain?
- Comment: Hi, I'm not sure if this is worthy of a DYK nomination but thought I'd give it a go and see. I had a look at the images of these solar panels online and it looks crazy haha — the citations in the article only show one but if you're curious, see here. I expanded this article a lot in October but why I didn't think of nominating it for DYK I don't know, gutted. But I've expanded it more today and a few days ago, I'm not sure if this is enough, if not please let me know and I will try to find more info I could add. Also, I just want to say to those that work in reviewing DYK nominations, keep up the good work :)
5x expanded by Steven (Editor) (talk). Self-nominated at 23:06, 3 December 2019 (UTC).
As the nominator notes, the expansion mostly took place in October, and the nomination was only started this December. The nominator only has a single DYK credit so far and appears to have done a good job in the article, so I'm not rejecting it outright even though it was outside the seven day requirement. However, I will be starting a discussion on WT:DYK on whether to grant a one-time exemption for the nominator. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:43, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Narutolovehinata5, thank you so much and I'll comment more at the discussion Steven (Editor) (talk) 00:28, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
per comments at Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Template:Did you know nominations#Wellacre Academy (late nomination, expansion... I would shoot for GA.). --evrik (talk) 16:47, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
Reopening per discussion at WT:DYK#Template:Did you know nominations/Wellacre Academy. Although this wasn't a 5x expansion at the time of nomination, the nominator has expanded it such that it is a 5x expansion now, albeit dating back to when the expansion began in October. A full review is needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:41, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
Article now fine. Hooks cited in line to MEN, and good enough - I would sway to ALT1 for including the number and reading better than alt2. Only second DYK nom so no need for QPQ. Wouldn't use the image since no solar panels in it. Kingsif (talk) 21:31, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for reviewing this Kingsif and thank you Narutolovehinata5, Valereee and BlueMoonset for allowing me this, incredibly grateful Steven (Editor) (talk) 23:02, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but there is some quoting from the newspaper source (see Earwig's comparison [1] that's really unnecessary. It would be better to rephrase the material in your own words than quote at length from the source. I have also left a note on the talk page about the rather jumbled presentation under the History section. Yoninah (talk) 21:53, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Yoninah, thank you for this and the comments on talk, I will do the required changes and let you know when I'm done — I also think the History does look a bit yeah with the huge blob of text, which will look better with some moved out to another section. Steven (Editor) (talk) 00:15, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- I have done the above Yoninah, if you could please check and let me know, thank you so much Steven (Editor) (talk) 00:32, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Steven (Editor): thank you for your work, it does look better now. I'm just wondering if a different subsection should be started for "Technological improvements to the campus", or something like that, which could include both the mobile phone mast controversy and the solar panels? I'm also a little confused by the section header "Structure"; I would have thought that refers to the buildings. Yoninah (talk) 00:40, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- You're welcome, and thank you for the feedback and your edits to the article Yoninah really appreciate this. The "Structure" section heading is per the school article guidelines and structure has multiple definitions so I think it would be ok, many schools have it too? The guidelines does mention about including a "Campus/school site and properties" section but this section doesn't apply to all schools, but I think something like you said "Technological improvements to the campus" would be a good idea, it could also include the eco centre text — maybe have it titled simply "Improvements to the campus" with two subsections: Eco-friendly facilities and Mobile phone mast controversy? Steven (Editor) (talk) 01:33, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Steven (Editor): yes, that would certainly help break up the text. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 02:41, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- Yoninah I'm done, if you could have a look and let me know please — few changes, I moved the relevant text to a standalone Eco-friendly facilities section and expanded it a tiny bit per reference. I renamed Mobile phone tower to Mobile phone mast controversy but kept this as it was before at the bottom, not sure if this would be an improvement to the campus or is it? Would the arena text be considered a controversy as then I could group these two together? Steven (Editor) (talk) 03:18, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
