Headteacher
[edit]Can I ask who updated the headteacher section to the new headteacher.
It was me who updated it to Mr Johnston a while ago when I was logged out but I am interested to know who changed it this time.Usual people in life (talk) 18:21, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
- It was added 18:51, 29 May 2010 by 86.172.80.182 (talk · contribs), with this edit. Was that you?
- Prior to that, the word "Cooke" was not in the article[1]. Chzz ► 14:35, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for updating. It doesn't matter who does it - the main thing is that the article content is factually accurate.--Kudpung (talk) 06:15, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
GA
[edit]I intend to nominate this article for GA. Please do not hesitate to look it over once more and make any relevant comments. It's already had one peer review. It's a state school so there's no COI or promotion, but its origins make it one of the oldest schools in the country. --Kudpung (talk) 10:46, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
- Strong Support Having done some work to the article myself I do feel that this would be a good move to get more users reading the page and potentially helpin to keep it up-to-date. Usual people in life (talk) 13:39, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks UPL. We'll get round to nominating it very soon, and we'll almost certainly need your help. Cheers, --Kudpung (talk) 17:27, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
Update
[edit]The school started its 2011 - 2012 academiic year in its new capacity as an academy.<ref name="academy">{{cite news |title=Academy gives us a greater sense of ownership |last=Al Rasheed |first=Tarik |date=16 seoptember 2011 |work=Malvern Gazette |publisher=Newsquest Group |page=4 |accessdate=17 September 2011}}</ref> --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 19:56, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
This can also be verified in the Ofsted Academy converters page. This conversion is one of financial management and does not affect the teaching curriculum or the designated lLnguage College status. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 17:03, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
I don't have an account so can't edit the main page but please can someone correct the caption for the maths building. I remember learning Maths there in the 1990s so it can't be a 21st C building. 86.174.148.73 (talk) 23:33, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

This article indeed needs a lot of work to be done. Here are my observations:
- Refs - many refs are incomplete. The need to have pubishers or works.
- Some of the refs have the thing which should be in work, in title.
- Few of them use capital words such as HCHS which should be written in full form and not with capitalization.
- Expanded. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 19:11, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
- What does ref 1 mean?
- ref #1 is to the image at File:HanleyHigh1326Plaque.JPG. This is engraved on the main school building wall.Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 19:11, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
- See also and Other Malvern area secondary schools should be merged.
- Please explain what you want me to do here. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 19:11, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
- The order of sections is per MoS. These sectins address entirely different concepts. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:25, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
- The lead- It is big enough to have 2 paras so why not?
- The lead is about the right length for a Wikipedia article of this size and does not need two paragraph, otherwise please suggest where it should be split..Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 19:11, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
- Robert Welch MBE, is a designer and silversmith. - ref?
- Welch has Wikipedia page. The references have been added to the school article. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 19:11, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
- Images need WP:ALT
This is an overview and I haven't done the text yet. Once addressed these problems, I shall go for the prose. Thanks! TheSpecialUser TSU 15:43, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
- Refs
Despite of your efforts, I fear that few refs still need to be expanded or fixed so here is the detailed examination:
- ref 39 - BBC is used as title while it should be in work parameter and the title should be David Gayler
- ref 9 - title should be School History and work should be Hanley_Castle_High_School
- ref 28 - title should be Hanley Castle High School and work parameter should be Schoolsnet
- The source is a leading quality national newspaper and the citation is correctly formatted. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:25, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
- ref 12 - title should be School Building Programme and work Hansard
- ref 14 - title should be Find an inspection report and work Ofsted
- The reference is direct to the school page of the government agency. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:25, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
ref 26 - title should be Hanley Castle High School and work Department of Education and publisher Government of UK
- No longer applicable. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:25, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
- same issues with ref 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 44, 45, 40 and 38
- Done - some web sites do not provide all the elements for the template. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:25, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
- Note: Some references have been grouped. Others have been changed or updated or are no longer applicable since the school changed its status and the Ofsted site and other government agencies have now changed with the new government.
