Untitled

I re-added the wikilinks. You can tell whether the page exists or not from the color of the link. There is no need to remove the links. wikilinks often link to non existing articles. Just because it doesn't evist now does not mean it will not in the future.

Links???

I believe it would be a lot better if each school could have its own page. It would benefit many. I would be glad to be in charge of the Roswell schools. - Meapyeah.

Naming conventions

Is it a wikipedia convention to list a school named after a person with the last name first? I ask because each school tends to have it's own policy on how the name is formed. Example: The school listed as Lewis, S.L. Elementary is almost always refered to as S.L. Lewis Elementary while the school listed as McNair, R.E. Middle is almost always refered to as McNair Middle.

I believe the author of the list pulled the information from the school title at: http://www.fultonschools.org/school_detail.asp?id=260. I'm not aware of any Wikipedia standard (but I'm new to editing myself). I would suggest any list stick to the "Official" name of the school. Jurros 22:53, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mergers

um, whoever suggested the mergers should have opened a discussion.

Merge Both articles into Fulton County School System. Sephiroth storm (talk) 14:40, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree with the mergers. Although both articles are terrible, it would be difficult to merge all the high school articles into the main page. Earlopogous 23:28, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
I also disagree, partly on Earlopogus's grounds, and also because an old AfD debate someone said that articles about schools are good for Wikipedia as they encourage students to write for WP. I'm going to remove the merge tags. Totnesmartin (talk) 12:12, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is horrible. Why the heck would you link a page on a school, only to redirect to the same page again? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.152.23.7 (talk) 22:40, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delinking

A lot of work needs to be done on this article delinking all the redirected non notable elementary and middle schools and undoing all their red links. The article looks awful. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:20, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
