Education in Taichung List of educational institutions in Taichung
I worked on this a few months ago and based on the government websites I have consulted, it is complete. There are also images and I believe it is well organized. While I hope there are no objections, I will strive to resolve any objections in a timely manner if possible. ludahai 魯大海 16:11, 29 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong oppose - lead is too short, prose is too positive (all schools are excelent, highly regarded, and offer wonderful programs), prose needs copy editing, article has no references, external links section needs some serious cutting down, and most importantly "education in abc" should be an article, and not a list of educational institutions (see for example Education in New York City, while not great and could be greatly improved it should give you an idea). So you should move the current article to "List of educational institutions in Taichung" and start "education in Taichung" from scratch. Renata 05:05, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I have no problem with moving the article and working on the prose. Why should the external links be cut down?  It provides sources for the schools.  One of the guidelines for a list is that it be documented.  How better to document it than with links?  ludahai 魯大海 08:11, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * BTW, where does it say "all schools are excelent, highly regarded, and offer wonderful programs"? ludahai 魯大海 08:14, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Page moved. ludahai 魯大海 10:00, 30 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong oppose - prose requires significant copy-editing, there are no inline citations or references of any sort and so on. The external link section looks like a linkfarm right now - see WP:LINKS for cleanup. I agree with Renata's suggestion to start a List of educational institutions in Taichung article to handle the list of schools, which still needs to be cleaned up into a proper table format.

 * Would you like to see the inline citations for each school? I can do that, though it will take a few days to do it. ludahai 魯大海 08:12, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I have put a draft of a table in the talk page of the article which would take out the list of references in favor of placing the link in the table alongside the names in English and Chinese, and put in the year of the founding of the school (where available). Please take a look.  Would this meet your concerns?  ludahai 魯大海 10:14, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I have actually gone ahead and begun implementing a table. It can be changed easily enough.  Actually, I like the suggestion because I believe it is already looking a lot better, so thank you both for this input.  Please give me your opinions of the table as it has been implemented at List_of_educational_institutions_in_Taichung.  ludahai 魯大海 14:23, 30 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I would like to withdraw this nomination until I can address the constructive comments that have been made already. As I think it will take as much as a month, I would rather withdraw the nomination while I do the necessary work.  I will renominate it once the work is complete.  Thank you for the comments.  ludahai 魯大海 14:03, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
