Toolserver is slow right now, but here's some preliminary issues:
 * Woodford International School has sourcing problem.
 * - Ref 1, which is necessary for the hook, links to a photo of the book cover, nothing else
 * - Ref 3 links to a Google search result page
 * University of the South Pacific
 * - Refs 2 and 3 are the exact same link, just labeled differently inline
 * Honiara Solomon Islands College of Higher Education
 * -Ref 1 links to a photo of the book cover, nothing else
 * -None of the inline citations specifically are at the end of any sentence saying it's located in Honiara. Even though the school's name begins with Honiara, that's not a given. Arizona's Phoenix University is all over the world.

 * You need to learn a bit about google books. The information is accessed via a google book search which picks up snippets. For a lot of books you can't accessed the book but the snippet can be foud during a research. Such sources are accepted in good faith as "offline sources" and trusted that the author has verified them (which i have). And yes all sources do say Honiara, I doubled checked to avoid this sort of thing..♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:12, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Dr. Blofeld, I have been using Google books for years. Maile66 (talk) 15:20, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * in that case you should know that much information can be compiled by searching and finding snippets which won't show when you click the reference in the article unless you search inside the box "From inside the book" and even then it'll usually turn up less than can be found in the snippet originally.♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:56, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Don't take this wrong, because I have tremendous respect for your body of work and your expertise. But I think you would be more comfortable if I left this review to another person. So, I'm just scooting out of this one. Maile66 (talk) 18:19, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry you feel uncomfortable, but you should be able to verify it by doing a google search. If you want to pass no worries. Take care.♦ Dr. Blofeld  19:44, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

 * I will clarify with references shortly.-- Nvvchar . 14:53, 10 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I have added a link with a sentence at the start under the School section in Honiara, and also fixed references with text in each of the three School/College articles posted here. I hope this meets the observations of User :Maile66.-- Nvvchar . 20:14, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg All of the articles are new enough and long enough, and meet DYK requirements. The hook is good and has an appropriate rationale for the main page. No copyright issues. Good to go. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 21:35, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
