heavy-duty "history"-type stuff can get underway. I see you have provided lots of excellent references as well. Extra thanks for filling in those missing neighbourhood colours - you can now see why I was needing them! (See the "Colours" sub-section, which I will integrate into the main part of the article when I think of where best to put it.) The colour-coding of areas is quite unusual in itself - I can't think of any other towns or cities where such a "procedure" exists - and I have a source to quote (a 1970s map, which explains why it lacked the ones you filled in!) to get away from the dreaded

some further amplification as otherwise readers in America will assume that by high school you are referring to a school which educates all children from 11 to 18 (as I did). I rather assumed that someone in America had added the word "high" as they seem to have something called junior high schools in America which I believe are the equivalent of our middle schools. It's very difficult sometimes trying to get definitions which can be understood by a worldwide readership. I think it might possibly be useful if you could add something to the

school bridging the primary/secondary divide, including middle, intermediate, high and all-through schools, the European League for Middle Level Education, which considers itself to be the European affiliate of America's NMSA. I have not yet found a single association which considers itself to welcome all types of middle level education institutes, but calls itself a 'Junior High' institute - I would gladly be corrected if you can find one.
507:. There was some debate about the use of the different labels in recent months, mainly due to rash actions of a poster (who I believe has since been banned). The general consensus of thse debates was to incorporate two separate articles. Notably, the UK definitions of primary & elementary education are very different, and so not synonymous. I realise the edits were done in good faith, but refer you to discussions at 670: 473:. However, the copyright tag you've used is deprecated or obsolete, and should not be used. This could be because the tag is inaccurate or misleading, or because it does not adequately specify the copyright status of the image. For a list of copyright tags that are in current use, see the "Public domain", "Free license", and "Fair use" sections of 547:
page. The two school entries deal only with each type of school, and while there are marked similarities between what US users call elementary school, and what UK users call primary school, there are equally marked differences between the use of the terms within each country. For example, if you read

It does sound as though you would need a whole article to explain it all and it is probably not worth the effort as international readers will only get confused and the subject is probably not of any relevance to most people in

I grant you that the discussions at that page are not comprehensive, but there were considerably discussions lost with various moves, redirects, and page-blanking activities that were carried out at the time. I'd also argue that the articles are sufficiently distinctive as to warrant separate pages.

you will see that it refers to a now disfunct category of school which provided full education from 5-14 - very different from the current primary schools that serve only pupils up to 11 before a further 5-7 years of secondary education. As such, the articles cover quite distinct issues and should,

Hi Tafkam - thanks very much for the work you've been doing on the Crawley "redesign" on my userpage. A lot of progress has already been made; I'm starting to feel more encouraged! At some point I am going to try to go up to Crawley library and get some relevant books out; then the really

Thanks for your help folks. So should I remove the offending link one more time, and make a note on the talk pages at the same time? I notice that the same entry has, unfortunately, been added using 3 different 'accounts' - two IP and one username. Does that make any difference?
