Talk:Dhaka Residential Model College

Assessment
I am assessing this article for WikiProject Schools following a request. A nice article, seems to pass the B-class criteria fine. Getting articles to good article/featured article status is not my speciality though there are few suggestions I can give. Some of the article's punctuation needs to be checked, references should be after full stops and commas. Capital letters should normally only be used for proper nouns, and the first letter of section headings and sentences, see WP:MOSCAPS; capital letters seem to be used excessively in some areas e.g. most subject names should not be captialised. Bold is also sometimes overused, see WP:MOSBOLD. The image in the infobox should usually be the school logo, which can be uploaded under a claim of fair use. I have trouble following part of the lead, what a "shift" is needs to be made clearer. Avoid too much detail on one aspect in the lead it should only introduce and summarise the article per WP:LEAD. Some sections such as education are rather list like, per WP:WPSCH/AG prose with context to the school is better. The referencing seems okay, though there are a few gaps such as not all alumni having a reference. Also I get the impression that more parameters could be filled in for some refs. I am giving this article Mid-importance for now based on alumni. Camaron · Christopher · talk 10:36, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

I was asked but have little to add to Chris's words. However the quality is high and reflects the effort that must have gone into this article. Do not lose heart when you receive criticism, this deserves to make GA Victuallers (talk) 17:20, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

I note the request for re-assessment. I am not sure what else to add beyond my earlier tips, and not all of them have yet been implemented, though as Victuallers said this is still a good quality article. A GA reviewer will be along shortly to give a review. This article is already at the highest rating, B-class, which can be given outside the GA nomination process. I can however review the importance rating and after a review I have decided there is enough for High-importance. The list of alumni is short, but important people are listed. The school has also had national recognition in areas like debating and academic achievement. Camaron · Christopher · talk 18:44, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

SMasters and Celestra, thank you.
SMaster, I see that you have been doing heavy-duty copywriting on this article.

Celestra, thank you for finding my error. I knew it had to be obscure, but I sure couldn't find it!

I had made a TINY start and was feeling overwhelmed; I put the article aside for a few days and the issue was solved for me!!! (I was also looking at MoS on lists, because one of his bits of feedback said that prose should be used rather than lists, so I was trying to resolve the list issue in the History section.)

I appreciate the work you've done on behalf of the author. (My daughter's boyfriend is Bengali, so I felt some connection.)

I'm going to toss my printed off copy and keep my mitts off this project! Bettymnz4 (talk) 23:25, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Clarification & comments
I'm doing another full copy edit of this article before it goes to WP:PR. I need some points clarified. Other Notes: -- S Masters (talk) 18:33, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The school was set up in 1960 by the then Government of Pakistan (Bangladesh was part of Pakistan until 1971), as a special type of institution - only one of its category in Bangladesh... - What is this category? This sentence structure is not correct. I need to know about the category before I can restructure the sentence.
 * It has its own rules of business where the Board of Governors has been empowered to “frame rules as it deems necessary for the proper functioning of the school." - What does "rules of business" mean? Should it be "own operating procedures"?
 * I don't have time at the moment to check for consistency. Sometimes the grades are in roman numerals, and sometimes not. Decide which to use and stick to it throughout.
 * Some picture captions have periods and some don't. Do one or the other. Done.

Reply

 * I found the information on the school's website. So far as I know, the category is something like a system where the Government plays a significant role in high level decision-making and management related affairs of the school. Locally this category is called Autonomous institution. But that doesn't mean that the school is also wholly funded by the government. Actually the school is funded by both the students and the government, where the govt. aid isn't less important at all. I think it should be better to mention the category as "Autonomous" though I am not sure whether this type of school exists in USA or in any countries of the world.


 * Here, the phrase (rules of business) has been used to indicate that the process or way it performs or undertakes necessary decision. You are not wrong, it's approximately like that. So you can mention "own operating procedure".


 * I prefer using words (e.g. third grade, sixth grade etc.), not numerals. If you don't have enough time, I can do that. Tanweer  ( talk ) 19:17, 18 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I have fixed the above. The copy edit is now complete. Good luck with the WP:PR and let me know if you need any more help. Cheers. -- S Masters (talk) 09:41, 19 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Except in winter, the uniform for students from grades VI to XII is short sleeved white shirt with white trousers. For students from grades XII to V,... - This part has not been fixed. Is the last part correct? 12-5? -- S Masters (talk) 23:38, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's correct. -- Tanweer  ( talk ) 16:26, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
 * This doesn't make sense: Except in winter, the uniform for students from grades six to twelve, is short sleeved white shirt with white trousers. For students from grades, the uniform is short sleeved white shirt with navy blue half pants. -- S Masters (talk) 05:28, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry. I didn't notice the point. It was nothing but a mistake. I've made correction in the Uniform section. Thanks for showing me the inconsistent sentence. -- Tanweer  ( talk ) 12:23, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
