Talk:Calvary Christian Academy (Maryland)

Untitled
This page is under reconstruction. It was formerly deleted due to the fact that students from this schools shared IP were defacing Calvary's school page as well as other area school pages (See Fort Hill High School and Allegany High School's Wiki pages for examples of this). This is a new page that is being created by a student of CCA for the purpose of stating facts about Calvary Christian Academy and not as an advertisement. Personally, the creator of this page is new to Wiki and would appreciate the time to make this page more suited to the Wikipedia standards. Thank You

P.S. Any advice on how to make this page less of an advertisement and more an encyclopedia page would be greatly appreciated.


 * I don't see a spam problem with the way the article is currently written. It stays to facts. Of course, whenever possible, cite a reliable source to back up the facts—even better if it's an independent source (e.g., newspaper). —C.Fred (talk) 01:50, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Advert tag?
I don't see where there's promotional language in the article currently. I know that "purpose" is non-standard, but it appears to be a straightforward description of the school and its accreditation. Peridon, can you be a little more specific about what needs cleaned up? —C.Fred (talk) 17:16, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It's the 'offers' that bug me in particular. I probably am wrong, but it looked promotional to me. Another (different) issue is the accrediting. ACSI does not accredit schools. Peridon (talk) 22:04, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * ACSI does accredit, per its website. Here's CCA's directory listing, including the line "ACSI Accredited: K–12". —C.Fred (talk) 22:09, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The link that the creator cited is wrong then - had a hard day and can't be bothered altering it... Peridon (talk) 22:16, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Probably a trans-oceanic misunderstanding there. Over here, we find it hard to understand the American school/college/university system. Peridon (talk) 22:18, 12 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I've refined the link, at least as far as to the search page; ACSI's search engine won't let me link directly to the results. (Side note: accreditation is effectively a qualification process for the school (district) to demonstrate that it meets certain minimum standards. Students who graduate from unaccredited schools may not be able to enter college, get scholarships, or get jobs, since the diploma isn't deemed to be worth more than the paper it's printed on. Of the two accrediting bodies listed in the article, Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools is the more significant accreditation, as it's one of the major regional accreditors.) —C.Fred (talk) 22:37, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Ta for that. And the rewrite. I've taken my tag off. Peridon (talk) 22:47, 12 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you to both of you for helping to refine this page. Blacksmokemonster (talk) 18:24, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
