I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it complies with the criteria. I based it off of two other featured lists (those about schools in some New Zealand regions). It contains information from government sources, and is complete in my opinion. Diego Grez (talk) 17:30, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

*Comments
    • Table should meet WP:ACCESS; add row scopes, for example
      • Improved
    • I would add in-line citations to the lead instead of general references
    • "All schools in the Cardenal Caro Province are municipal (owned by the government of their respective communes) but two:" - "but two: the" should be replaced with "except"
      • Done!
    • "The enrollment of each school changes frequently as students start school for the first time, move between schools, and graduate" - ?
      • Removed the statement. I took it verbatim from one of the aforementioned articles, but it isn't that important to this article.
    • "The numbers of enrollment" - enrollments
      • Corrected
    • ", based on figures from 2012. " - and are based on
      • Fixed
    • "with Colegio de la Preciosa Sangre de Pichilemu as the school with most students, specifically 557." - start a new sentence. "The Colegio de la Preciosa Sangre de Pichilemu has the most students, with 557" also perhaps add other schools with the most students
      • Fixed. Mentioned the Liceo Agustin Ross and the Escuela Raul Silva too. Diego Grez (talk) 18:10, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • The lead should be copyedited, I am afraid.
      • Gonna ask someone to do so asap

  • One more thing: explain RBD in table. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 12:14, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • It is explained in the third paragraph that it is the Ministry of Education's database number for each school, cheers! Diego Grez (talk) 23:52, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • " 47 schools are located ..." Avoid starting sentences with numbers.
    • Fixed
  • And in that sentence you use both numbers and words for a number, per WP:MOSNUM you should do one or the other.
    • Fixed too
  • Four paras in the lead is a little heavy for an article of this size per WP:LEAD.
    • Mixed some information and took it to the "Schools" section.
  • "of primary education, which lasts until octavo básico. Students begin their secondary education in primero medio, and graduate in cuarto medio" but in the table you refer to these as grades 1 to 8 then 9 to 12. I would give these equivalent grades in the lead.
    • Done. Grades were translated to the English language and put in parenthesis.
  • " In 2010, there were 78 schools in the Cardenal Caro Province" so 15 closed in two years?
    • I'm not really sure, actually. 78 is the number the ministry officially published in 2010. I tried to find information on closed schools in this province, but I could not find anything but a news article on the closure of a school in a neighbor province. There is no current information either on the website of the ministry's regional chapter.
  • What is the initial sort order of the table?
    • Prekínder
  • Shouldn't Prekinder sort before 1st grade?
    • Yup, fixed that.
  • Is a school really a school if it has zero students?
    • La Villa is apparently being repaired/reconstructed. I found document from the Municipality of Pichilemu which shows that the Escuela La Villa had 12 students as of 2011 (something which I'm gonna add). The document (page 25) also shows that several schools were closed during 2011, some temporarily, some permanently, which could explain why 15 schools disappeared.

  • you have 63 in first sentence and then forty-seven later on. Be consistent in either using digits or spelling numbers out that are double digits. Have a look at MOS:NUM, there is no right or wrong way, just make sure you choose one method and stick to it.
  • ref 4 needs the parameter

Comments –

  • Don't think "State" needs to be capitalized in the parenthetical part.
  • Images in the lead could use alt text. Giants2008 (Talk) 18:25, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Decapitalized. I'm not good at all creating alt texts, can you please provide one? Or where can I ask for someone else to do so? Lester Foster (talk | talk) 18:58, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • The WP:ALT link above has some good examples, or you could look at other featured list candidates to gather some ideas. If you're still in doubt, I recommend contacting RexxS, who is something of an accessibility expert. Giants2008 (Talk) 18:28, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Per MOS:NUM and WP:NBSP, there should be a non-breaking space -   between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 737ng, use 737 ng, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 737 ng
  • Categories should be sorted in alphabetical order

TBrandley 14:32, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was a bit unsure where to put the nbsp's. Fixed everything (maybe) Lester Foster (talk | talk) 13:21, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
