Rating next step

To get to a B class rating you could add some history, pictures, famous alumni, staff, community activities, and it geography (such as address layout, environs). It is very hard for a school to make it to mid class - you would have to have a massacre, or major controversy to get it into the news and public awareness, usually the kind of things that you dont want to have.

The 'rating' is related to the stub warnings. I have started a separate discussion thread on the issue of the "stubs", and the removal of this page from that categorisation. SMargan (talk) 04:17, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Infobox

The infobox on this article needs updating to meet school article quality standards. The appropriate box for this school is Template:Infobox Aust school, see Riverside Girls High School and Burwood Girls High School for good examples. Cheers. Loopla 11:11, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

@Loopla - The 'infobox' specifically for Australian schools, suggested in your comment, i.e. Template:Infobox Aust school, does not seem to exist anymore. Currently, there appears to be an Infobox generally for schools, i.e. Template:Infobox School, that is used for all school pages in Australia. Indeed, the example pages you have quoted as "good examples", i.e. Riverside Girls High School and Burwood Girls High School, seems to use that general 'infobox' now (Template:Infobox School).

I just changed the grade of this article, to class "B" from it prior "stub" status. If anyone thinks that this reclassification is pre-emptive or in error, we should discuss it in this thread.SMargan (talk) 05:15, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

'Stub' status

This "Nerang State High School" Wikipedia page was completely revamped recently. These changes turned it from an unreferenced 'stub', into the basis for a legitimate Wikipedia page article. During these rafts of edits, the characterisation of this page as a 'stub' and the associated editor's warning were removed. Just now, with the addition of this discussion thread to this "Nerang State High School" talk page, the school 'stub' warning and the Australia 'stub' warning are also being removed from this 'talk' page. If anyone thinks that these edits were pre-emptive or in error, we should discuss it in this thread. SMargan (talk) 04:17, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
