Hi all, could anyone help me find an article that is similar in structure to the Archipelago article but is B class or higher, as a source of inspiration? Thanks! Hason-LEK-🇸🇬 ● 💬 ● 🧱 ● 🧪 04:56, 5 September 2026 (UTC)

I am sorry I am new to this, but I have updated a few details and added sources for the biography. Would you be so kind to have a look at it and support approving it? I did this on Talk:Manfred M. Fischer

WikiProject Schools

Hi there, I've noticed that WikiProject Schools has some ongoing issues in regards to its treatment of geographical information such as transportation. WikiProject Schools only seems to be included under the banner of WikiProject Education, despite schools being a fundamental aspect of human geography. I think it would bring some much-needed balance to WikiProject Schools if it was included under the auspices of both projects. • ꕤ Stylomecon ✎ • «talk» • 20:24, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

@Stylomecon, if you wish to set up a RfC I would recommend that instead of going project shopping. Issac I Navarro (talk) 20:32, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean by "project shopping", sorry. I can definitely make an RfC about this, but I felt it would be more appropriate to assess interest from WikiProject Geography contributors first. • ꕤ Stylomecon ✎ • «talk» • 20:37, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

My gut reactions are a) that yes, this is an inappropriate level of detail, and b) I don't want to get involved. Mangoe (talk) 23:46, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

@Mangoe, this user has started an ANI, after they where not satisfied with a situation, and is now seeing if another WikiProject can take over. See WP:ANI#User:Issac I Navarro - request temporary block. I do some coordinating work for WikiProject Schools. Issac I Navarro (talk) 23:52, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

Please refrain from turning me into a straw man, thanks. • ꕤ Stylomecon ✎ • «talk» • 00:14, 2 November 2026 (UTC)

I am a coordinator of WikiProject Schools since around 2014. I am no stranger to Wikiprojects, I'm a member of a few including one I created about UK geography, and author of several school articles and many articles about UK settlements and buildings.

I fail to see how a transportation section in a school article is of any relevance to WikiProject Geography, and how the members here would be interested. No parent of Wikiproject Schools ever been defined, it is not a daughter project of Wikiproject Education, nor does it operate 'under the banner' of it. The suggestion of a merger of the two Wikiprojects or Schools being subsumed into the Geography project seems unusual and I have never heard of anything like it being done; I doubt that an RfC would achieve a consensus for it. That said, our Wikiproject Schools has never had any issues with transportation in the history of the project until the OP objected to the removal of transportation section in an article during a project cleanup campaign in preparation for improvement towards GA. I think this thread can be closed. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:39, 3 November 2026 (UTC)

I was not the person who initially objected to the removal of the transportation section, nor was I even the second or the third to do so. That dispute started more than a week before I was ever involved, and I didn't bring it back up. That happened here. • ꕤ Stylomecon ✎ • «talk» • 11:36, 7 November 2026 (UTC)
