Plano Senior High School and Caufield Grammar School and Stuyvesant High School

Not sure we should go down to the high school/grade school level on education, but if we do, these would be a good choice. Not voting either way right now, seeking consensus.Rlevse 15:26, 20 July 2006 (UTC) PS noticed Hopkins School was already selected and sinc it's got a unique and old history, I suggest we leave that one as a selectee.Rlevse 22:45, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

*Partialy agree Plano and Caufield I agree with, while Stuyvesant is very major Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 20:01, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stuyvesant is just a high school. We shouldn't include high schools. Anyway why this one? Because its american? What about high schools in China? They're probably bigger. What about high schools in England? You should think in global. I mean articles that will be included in Version 0.5 must represent the world not the USA. NCurse_work 07:48, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Because it represents the magnet program and that separates it from the other non-college schools. There are no FAs on non-college level schools other than American ones.Rlevse 13:18, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Be aware that this article is dearly loved by some of the old-guard Wikipedians precisely because of its obscurity ("Only on Wikipedia would you find this!") I agree it does not belong in V0.5. Walkerma 01:15, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Prostitution in the People's Republic of China

Too vauge, low importance Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 01:52, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with Jaranda's comments. Also, to include that article alone without including Prostitution in the United States etc. seems like a violation of NPOV bordering on racism. Walkerma 02:25, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with Jaranda's comments, but I agree with Walkerma's points. Agree, at least for now. Tito xd^(?!?) 03:34, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's overly paranoid for us to worry about things like this. If Prostitution in the People's Republic of China is the only prostitution FA now, so be it. Rlevse 03:36, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

With the PRC's block of Wikipedia, and Baidu Baike's treatment (which some characterize as hostile), it is a horribly bad idea, and it can cost us the Foundation's support. Tito xd^(?!?) 03:38, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
