Shenandoah Valley Academy edit

This peer review discussion has been closed.
Please review this article. I've done a lot of work on it and would like to see what other editors think as well as get some help with it. Special attention would be nice on the History and Curriculum section.

  • To the Reviewer: I have made some specific comments at User talk:WikiManOne#SVA Reassessment. Below are some specific comments about where I think that the History section is lacking (And that is, in my opinion what is holding this article back).
    • Who did Zirkle donate the land to? What did Zirkle and others use the land for before it became a school?
    • Where did the other 405 acres come from? That is a fairly large campus; what do they use the extra land for?
    • How was the church (or others) involved in financing the school?
    • The school has grown considerably, what buildings, fields, ect. have been built? Do any of them hold architectural, geographical, or historical significance?
    • You have a list of the early headmasters. What did they do?
    • The only person mentioned is Zirkle; what other people can be considered to have played a role in the founding?
    • Is the school strongly associated with a neighborhood church?
    • Elaborate on how it is both a boarding and a day school. Was it always that way?

Maybe take a look at some school articles that have reached GA and FA and see what the SVA history section lacks. There is no history between 1911 and the present. --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 22:43, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
