Disambiguation link notification for September 17
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Meherrin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wayne Brown. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:22, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Carrier Strike Groups
editThank you for your edits Senator2029. You may not be aware that all other Category:Combatant groups of the United States Navy and Category:Ship squadrons of the United States Navy use the numerical, rather than spelt-out, designation (as noted in each of my edit summaries). I am half way through the change, and unless you have strong, policy-based reasons as to why spelt-out has validity, I intend to standardise on numeric.

Rcats for Blu-ray Disc
editCould you clarify why you consider this redirect to be printworthy?
I ask because the definition of {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}
has recently been expanded to cover natural disambiguations, per the text of the template. It would therefore apply to this redirect, making it unprintworthy.
For what it's worth, there are discussions such as User talk:Paine Ellsworth/Archive 15#Rcat for "X", "Y" → "X and Y" that suggest that the concept of printability depends on lexicographic ordering within a dictionary or encyclopedia, which would also imply that this redirect should be unprintworthy. --SoledadKabocha (talk) 18:45, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for writing. I'll look into this and reply
within 48 hourssoon. Senator2029 “Talk” 22:13, 15 November 2016 (UTC)- Perhaps it might help if I actually ping @Paine Ellsworth:; they might know a bit more about this than I do. --SoledadKabocha (talk) 03:43, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
- (Answering ping): In this case, whatever else it's called, it is an {{R from alternative name}} according to the first sentence of the article, so I would probably not call it natural disambiguation. It would be right next to the article title in a list, and a search for the redirect title would go right to the article. Since the redirect title is mentioned in the first sentence, there is no reader astonishment, so all in all I'd call it unprintable/unprintworthy. There is no need for it in a CD/DVD format. Thank you SoledadKabocha for asking, and thank you both for your work with redirects! Paine u/c 04:11, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
- Ok, my bad for not studying a little more thoroughly what a natural disambiguation really is. My original question to Senator2029 was why s/he thought at the time this redirect was printworthy, but I suppose that's moot now. --SoledadKabocha (talk) 05:29, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi! I moved it back to the former title because the name change hasn't happened yet. Even though the HISD board did vote to rename it, AFAIK the rename will only occur when the new campus opens in Downtown Houston.

Image abuse
editHi. I reverted your edit at Titan Missile Museum. That article already has plenty of images and your upload of File:Titan Missile Museum logo.jpg looks inappropriate. The image might have been tolerated if we had no images but that's not the case. Placing the image where the lede section should be is ridiculous. Your talk page evinces that you upload images that you don't have rights to with weak rationales for fair use. Please rethink your editing in this regard. Chris Troutman (talk) 23:55, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
- It was never intended to be the permanent location for the logo. I was trying to get it to size right so it would be "attached" to the bottom of the infobox. (Unlike many infoboxes, the one used for that article only permits one image in it.). As for your assertion that the article already has enough images, you fail to consider the qualitative difference between a logo and photographs.
- I don't object to you reverting my edit (this is a normal part of the collaborative process). But don't be rude to me. My contributions to Wikipedia speak for themselves, especially regarding the "fair use policy". All images I upload meet the requirements of that policy. So do not scold me as if I'm an unaware or irresponsible editor. Senator2029 “Talk” 00:53, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
- Not counting the image in question, your talk page shows 19 instances where a non-free image uploaded by you was orphaned (because apparently no one wants it in the article) and fully 13 of those have been deleted. Another two images were taken to MfD. This is why I bring the subject up. Do you find this unreasonable? Chris Troutman (talk) 01:07, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
- How wrong you are! There are several reasons why images become orphaned. Due to your grudge, you come up with the "Senator-uploads-lame-images-that-aren't-useful hypothesis" to explain orphaned images. However, they are orphaned because:
- a better quality (PNG instead of JPEG) was uploaded, or
- a company introduces a new logo, or
- I uploaded a logo, but never added it into the intended article.
- An apology isn't necessary, but please do respond with how you prefer the museum's logo to be displayed in the article. Senator2029 “Talk” 05:44, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Public schools
editThe first mention of a school in the town proceedings is dated May 29, 1678. The town voted and agreed to hire a school master to teach all of the children in the town to read, and write, and the Townsmen (selectmen) were instructed to hire Mr. Cornish on as reasonable terms as they can. Feb. 20, 1679, James Olmsted was appointed school master to set copies for the children. Nov. 17, 1679, it was voted to build a school house 20 ft. long 18 ft. wide, posts 7ft., and to be not less than 6 ft. from floor to ceiling ; it was to stand between Samuel Keeler's corner and the water flood, which has been located near the barn of W. S. Hanford, directly in front of the upper school house.

Presently, the Norwalk Public School system is a single school district, with the Board of Education that has charge and direction of Norwalk's public schools may divide the district into sub-districts for the purpose of control of attendance of pupils of certain schools. The district is comprised of 12 elementary schools, four middle schools, two high schools, one alternative high school program and one inclusive pre-school program. Norwalk offers two magnet schools at the elementary level, Columbus Magnet School and Jefferson Science Magnet School, which was named a 2014 National Blue Ribbon School for its work in closing the achievement gap. Norwalk also offers the Mano-a-Mano magnet program at Silvermine Elementary School, a dual language immersion program that evolved into a full magnet school. Norwalk is also home to the Center for Global Studies, an inter-district high school magnet program housed at Brien McMahon High School, as well as Norwalk Early College Academy, the State’s first early college, P-TECH model program (Pathways in Technology Early College High School) in partnership with IBM, Norwalk Community College and the State of Connecticut. In September, 2016, the state-of-the art- Norwalk Early Childhood Center opened its doors to serve preschool families of both typical and special needs children.[1]
Norwalk's Board of Education[2] is comprised of of nine members who are also electors [qualified voters] of the City of Norwalk. One member elected from each of the Council districts as established in the city charter and four members elected at large. Members serve for terms of four years.

The primary language for many students is Spanish, but students also come from homes where Chinese or Haitian Creole are spoken. The school building was constructed in the late 1950s. On May 14, 2007, several state legislators toured the school in an attempt by Fairfield County lawmakers to educate them about the need for more state education funding in the richest county in the state.[6])

Low test scores of Norwalk Public Schools
editPonus Ridge Middle School is well known[by whom?] around the city of for having some of the lowest test scores in the city. The CMT scores in 2006 through 2009 were on average 20% below state averages. For reading, the scores were about 20% below state average. For writing, the scores were about 25% below average. For math, the test scores were about 20% below average.[27]
West Rocks Middle School is not as well known[by whom?] for having low test scores, but it fits the pattern of most other Norwalk Public Schools. CMT scores for reading, writing, and math have steadily increased in grades 7 and 8 since 2006. The average CMT grade for a 7th or 8th grader in 2006 was a 68%. With the slight passage of time, by 2009 CMT scores for 7th and 8th graders in the fields of reading and writing have increased to an average of 70%, and the math scores have increased to an average of 80%. The state average for 7th grade reading was 84%, the average writing grade was 81%, and the average math grade was 86%. The state average for 8th grade reading was 80%, the average writing score was 84%, and the average math score was 85%. The test scores for 7th and 8th grade are generally 10 points lower than state averages. The CMT scores for 6th graders have rapidly dropped from 2006 to 2009. West Rocks' 6th grade student CMT averages in 2006 were 69% for reading, 83% for writing, and 77% for math. By 2008, the scores were 60% for reading, 62% for writing, and 67% for math. The state averages for reading, writing, and math were 80%, 83%, and 87%, respectively.[28]
The State Education Department announced on January 28, 2008 that Norwalk was one of twelve districts in the state that it would help to close student achievement gaps.[29]
Radon levels in 2007-2008
editState-mandated radon tests in early 2007 found rooms in five elementary schools with levels above the "federal action limit" of 4 picocuries per liter for the colorless, odorless gas. (The gas naturally occurs in Fairfield County and comes up from the ground from the decay of radium. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer, after smoking.) The 700 tests, conducted every five years by state law, found actionable levels of radon in Rowayton, Naramake, Cranbury and Wolfpit elementary schools as well as Richard C. Briggs High School. Mitigation work, including air-suction devices, was done on just over a dozen rooms at the various schools, then a follow-up test was done which found one Wolfpit classroom located farthest away from the air-suction devices still had 5.1 picocuries per liter, so an additional device was installed in early March 2008.[30]
No Child Left Behind Act in Norwalk
edit[Note: Every Student Succeeds Act has since (2015) replaced the No Child Left Behind Act
In 2006, all high schools, three of the city's middle schools and nine of its elementary schools, along with a "community school" were cited as falling behind in standards for the federal "No Child Left Behind" Act. Three elementary schools had not met the standards (which rise year by year) for two years in a row, so students in those schools are offered the choice to go to a Norwalk public school that hasn't been designated as needing improvement. "Whole school" problems are school-wide, "subgroup" problems reflect groups such as white, black, Hispanic, Asian and American-Indian children; English language learners; students with disabilities; and economically disadvantaged students.[31]
- Norwalk High School — In the 2006 NCLB report, the school was cited as having "subgroup deficiencies in math."

- Ponus Ridge Middle School — In the 2006 NCLB report, the school was cited as having "whole school deficiencies in math."
- Brookside — For 2006, the school did not meet NCLB criteria two years in a row, so students (within certain parameters) will be offered the choice of going to another school. In the report the school was cited as having "subgroup deficiencies in math and reading."
- Columbus — In the 2006 NCLB report, the school was cited as having "subgroup deficiencies in math and reading."

District Reference Group H
editNorwalk is one of eight public school systems in District Reference Group H, a classification made by the state Department of Education for the purpose of comparison with the achievement levels of similar schools and districts. District reference groups are defined as "districts whose students' families are similar in education, income, occupation and need, and that have roughly similar enrollment."[32] The other seven school districts in the group are Ansonia, Danbury, Derby, East Hartford, Meriden, Norwich, Stamford, and West Haven.[33]
