Thanks to Sammi for starting this.

My name is Aaron and I go to VHS. I have been wanting to start this for awhile but was unsure about the templates and whatnot. I have been going to VHS for 4 years now so I find myself adept in completing most of this page. If you have any questions or concerns, please go forth.

5x expanded by SyntheticSystems (talk). Self-nominated at 20:09, 10 November 2022 (UTC).[reply]

  • Well, this is a bit surreal, SyntheticSystems. I created this stub 12 years ago this week, and now here it is at DYK by a user who is clearly pointing a ton of time and attention at it—as their first contribution, no less. Welcome, and thanks for doing a QPQ on your first contribution!
    • DYKcheck does not tell me it's a 5x, which might be because of past vandalism reversions (I can easily see that happening on a high school article, having made more than half of the ones on high schools in this state), so I checked manually. The page was 2,376 bytes readable prose before expansion and is now 11,537 characters. (I did some copyediting, and it now sits at 11,568.) A 5x expansion is 11,880 characters. You need 312 characters readable prose to get this to 5x.
    • The source checks out, though I'm not sure it's the type of source I'd use to anchor a DYK hook. It's a blurb from a construction company. It is interesting, but I don't know if it holds up on source scrutiny. I am presenting some alternate hooks for your consideration. ALT2 requires an edit to the article, but it jumped out at me while I was perusing the list of references, and it might help you close the characters gap.
I like the second one more but both are great and better than mine. SyntheticSystems (talk) 18:00, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Section headers

[edit]

@SyntheticSystems, per MOS:OVERSECTION: "Very short sections and subsections clutter an article with headings and inhibit the flow of the prose. Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheading." The article and the table of contents look much nicer and read much more smoothly without these subheadings. ♠PMC(talk) 05:24, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
