Inappropriate redirect edit
User:Freechild redirected this page to a different one without even discussing it. I reverted these edits. This page has existed longer than the one Freechild made, and this page includes more assessments than the scope of Freechild's page. Thus, I believe this page is the more appropriate location for this list. Please do not redirect pages without discussing such major changes. — Chris53516 (Talk) 15:00, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- The page is mislabeled. Having a list of tests - any tests of any kind - is a ridiculous proposal, and I would rather nominate it for AfD than let it continue to exist in this form. I will recreate List of standardized tests in the United States with only those tests, simply because that is a more useful compilation of information that can withstand AfD. Creating a list of tests simply illustrates how detrimental lists can be to WP. - Freechild 17:20, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- Standardized tests are not just those created by the states for the NCLB act. Obviously, you have a limited understanding of the definition of a standardized test. Standardized tests can also apply to the ACT and the SAT, although these are also "admissions" tests. Removing those tests from such a list as this one would misrepresent the definition of a standardized test. It also makes no sense to me how this is "detrimental". Mind explaining yourself? — Chris53516 (Talk) 17:42, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
