Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District
This article is about a public school district in Texas, USA. The article achieved GA on July 11, 2007 but didn't elicit any suggestions for continued improvement in the process. It appears to be the first school district to become GA or higher, so it may serve as an example for future improvement of other school district articles. I'm aiming for FA status (who isn't!) and would especially appreciate any constructive criticism towards that goal. Thanks! --Hebisddave 15:27, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question. You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions for further ideas. Thanks, DrKiernan 14:17, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Consider adding more links to the article; per Manual of Style (links) and Build the web, create links to relevant articles.[?]
 * If there is not a free use image in the top right corner of the article, please try to find and include one.[?]
 * Per Wikipedia:Context and Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link January 15, 2006.[?]
 * Per Manual of Style (headings), avoid using special characters (ex: &+{}[]) in headings.
 * Please reorder/rename the last few sections to follow guidelines at Guide to layout.[?]
 * Per WP:WIAFA, this article's table of contents (ToC) may be too long- consider shrinking it down by merging short sections. [?]
 * Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]


 * In the same order as above:
 * ("Consider adding more links...") More wikilinks added, focusing on words that seemed likely to be less familiar to readers not fluent in English or familiar with local/national culture.
 * ("If there is not a free use image in the top right corner...") Currently the image is a logo posted with a fair use rational. I've contemplated trying to replace it with a photograph, but I'm not sure what it should depict.  In the central administration building, there is a large wood cutout of the logo—would a photograph of that (with the photographer releasing the image as creative commons/PD) be any better than the current logo?  That is, would the image still require the fair use rational?
 * ("...years with full dates should be linked...") Got it.
 * ("...avoid using special characters (ex: &+{}[]) in headings.") Got it.
 * ("Please reorder/rename the last few sections...") In the linked document, there is the statement: "It is okay to change the sequence of these appendices, but the Notes and References sections should be next to each other."  Unless someone can clarify that the MoS page is incorrect and the bot is correct, I'd prefer the current order.
 * ("...this article's table of contents (ToC) may be too long...") I downgraded a few section headings to bolded text.  I'm reluctant to do this to more headings because shortening the ToC will cause the infobox to push an image down the page.  (I would gladly follow a second opinion to continue shortening the ToC).
 * ("...a thorough copyediting...") I did more copy-editing and found several redundant and ambiguous wordings.  I'd like to do more of this before actually putting in a FAC and may appeal to the League of Copy Editors for some extra pairs of eyes if no one responds to this Peer Review.
 * Thanks for running and posting the automatic check! :) --Hebisddave 16:27, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
