 * Comment only I think you can trim "the schoolhouse of" from the hook. Also, the article should explain what a "free school" is. Edwardx (talk) 00:47, 8 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg - I'll review this for you because I think this is an interesting subject. I share Edward's opinion that "free school", which some readers may confuse with freedom schools, needs to be explained. If you want "schoolhouse" in the hook, you can rewrite it as Adelphi schoolhouse instead. As for the other points of the review, the article is sourced reliably by books and journals, stays neutral with no obvious copyright violations, and was expanded recently. QPQ is pending.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 07:47, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think you're both right about the concept of a "free school". I wish I could just wikilink to a suitable article but the closest one is free education, which conflates taxpayer-funded and charity-funded schools. I'll see what I can do. -- diff (talk) 01:26, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've edited the article and the hook, lemme know what you think. QPQ also done. -- diff (talk) 02:43, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg thank you for taking into account the suggestions brought here. The hook, as well as the article, has clarified the definition of "free school" and the QPQ is now completed. Good to go.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 05:07, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
