Talk:Over half of Romanian terminal grade students fail baccalaureate exam

Lede?

At this moment, the lede should be much shorter that it is, succinctly answering —for an international audience— as many of the basic questions as reasonably possible.

• Exactly what is the news event? Release of test results? If that didn't happen within the past day or two, the story isn't fresh.
• Most of the information in the current first paragraph should probably be moved into a separate second paragraph.
• An international audience will likely never have heard of the baccalaureate exam.

I made some changes and updated the article. Is it good now? The subject of the news is the unusually high number of students failing the exam. -- Petru Dimitriu (talk) 08:09, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Purely on form, it looks pretty good. From what I can tell there are also two independent sources (one source being from a different publisher than the others).

I, for one, can't judge the content as I don't read Romanian (for that matter, even automatic translation from Romanian to English looks pretty bad). I rather suspect I'm not alone in that, which could be a problem. Hm... --Pi zero (talk) 23:44, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Frankly, I was afraid that this will happen. -- Petru Dimitriu (talk) 10:18, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

I rewrote the article using English sources. Hopefully it's ok, although I had to remove some very interesting information because it wasn't in the English sources. Mattisse (talk) 19:02, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
