 * ... that St. James' Infant School (pictured) in Dudley in the West Midlands is kept as it was in 1912?


 * Alt1: ... that one St. James' Infant School building (pictured) was built on two completely different sites? Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 00:57, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Nice alt hook. Reviewed Tivadar Zemplényi


 * I don't see the picture in the article. Did you intend to supply this one? --Orlady (talk) 05:48, 24 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Oops made the correction - thanks Victuallers (talk) 22:40, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg There seems to be some problems with the sourcing and some of the writing simply doesn't make sense. For the three lines starting from "The school cost just under £500", the cited PDF file doesn't seem to support the facts stated. What does this mean? "funds were raised by selling medallions in order that the school could accommodate 300 pupils. An alternative estimate was that the two rooms which were divided by a partition which divided 200 pupils, by gender, either side in three or four classes." Also, what does this mean? "the management of the school decided that the boys and schools education could be combined" Please check and fix these issues. Prioryman (talk) 01:42, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. Fixed I think Victuallers (talk) 09:31, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg OK, thanks. I made a few copyedits to fix some outstanding issues but otherwise it looks good to go. I'm not very enthusiastic about the hooks though: how about:
 * ALT2: ... that St. James' School, Dudley gave medals to its students to encourage them to attend lessons rather than picking hops?

 * Many schools did that; but only very few have been dismantled and rebuilt elsewhere. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:26, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
