I think this is a really great start to an article! I agree with Shalor's suggestions though and that it should probably be added to the Strongsville page as a section. I think adding information about the students during the strike would be useful as well. Did they have class? If so was it with actual teachers or other staff? I was also thinking when reading this if standardized testing was affected at all since it's usually in the Spring. --Ekisiday (talk) 18:38, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notes

[edit]

Hi! I was wondering if this will go in the article for Strongsville or if it meant to be its own article. Offhand I'd recommend looking to merge this into the main article for Strongsville, as most teachers strikes tend to get primarily or solely local coverage and I'm not sure if there will be enough coverage to really justify it having its own article. Local coverage is depreciated on Wikipedia because it's assumed that local events and happenings will be covered, whereas there's no guarantee of coverage outside of the state.

If this is meant to be in the main article, then you'll need to summarize this a bit and make it into about two paragraphs. Overall I think this looks good and I'd still encourage you to look for more sourcing, especially through the school databases. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:13, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
