There are some school related afd nominations on this page. The project does not have much participant. I would appreciate if some of you could give your opinion there. Thanks. আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 20:00, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

American schools changing NCES IDs

Hello! While working on Dollarway High School I found that the school's NCES ID changed when its district changed from Dollarway School District to Pine Bluff School District. It seems the template can only handle one NCES ID at a time. What should be done about this? WhisperToMe (talk) 17:42, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

WhisperToMe I am not familiar with NCES IDs, but the problem is that adding two copies of {{NCES School ID}} generates two different copies of reference "nces_sch", which results in an error message. For example {{NCES School ID|050541000253|school_name=Dollarway High School|access_date=November 12, 2012}} produces

050541000253

References

A workaround could be to enter the first number without using the template. TSventon (talk) 19:40, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

@TSventon: Thank you for the idea! I made that quick fix. It would be nice to make a permanent fix for the template so that multiple NCES IDs can be handled by the same school. WhisperToMe (talk) 19:51, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: hopefully someone who is more familiar with US education will come along shortly, otherwise you could ask at the template's talk page.

Another issue is that d:Q5289259 has two NCES school IDs and that is showing as incorrect as well. TSventon (talk) 20:47, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

@TSventon: Thanks again! I made a note at Wikidata:Property_talk:P2484#Multiple_NCES_IDs_are_possible WhisperToMe (talk) 20:51, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Lists of schools by Catholic Diocese

I noticed that List of schools of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Gallup exists, but List of schools of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix does not. This seems odd; there is no particular importance or referencing difference between the two. Would it be better to create the second article, or merge/AFD the first back to a page about the diocese?

Ping @WhisperToMe: who created the Gallup page. Walsh90210 (talk) 23:14, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

@Walsh90210: It happened that I wrote one about the Gallup diocese but had not yet done so for the Phoenix one. Id create a Phoenix list if you want me to. WhisperToMe (talk) 23:50, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

No rush on my account, but if you're taking requests, I'd prefer List of schools of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego first. Walsh90210 (talk) 22:06, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

@Walsh90210: I started List of schools of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego after finding a PhD thesis on the history of Catholic education in San Diego. I still have to find stuff on such in Phoenix. Anyhow, newspaper articles and published books could help build up the list on SD Catholic schools. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:04, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
