Review of revision 4377897 [Not ready]

[edit]

The number of students enrolled came from the USA Today article. To double verify, I have been able to confirm the number with the Kentucky Department of Education. I am not listing it as a source, because of the nature of the site. This link and then select in the "School Report Card" section: County: Marshall, Year: 2016/2017, School: Marshall County High School. After submitting the form, a report is generated that does show 1374 students. However, there's no direct link. Hope this helps. Cheers, --SVTCobra 15:09, 24 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

[edit]
@Green Giant: I've added the country to the lede (I left it pending review, though it seems pretty close to the self-sight-able line). The headline, though I'm sure we can live with it, might ideally have mentioned the country too; I would have been tempted to just say "Kentucky, US" there. --Pi zero (talk) 16:07, 24 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Pi zero: Eh, the first words in the title are literally United States. --SVTCobra 16:21, 24 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
@SVTCobra: Heh, and I usually don't even notice them there. (I'd usually rather integrate the country into the headline sentence.) --Pi zero (talk) 16:26, 24 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Pi zero: Cheers. I think it’s fine to include the country in the lede unless perhaps it is somewhere really well known like New York. Green Giant (talk) 16:50, 24 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
