Two-room school

  • ... that the US government once mailed rural school districts scale models from which carpenters could construct actual two-room schools? Source: from ref5 "Schoolhouse Models by Parcel Post"

I don't agree, it could be split in the future if it got too big. But for now, any additions about anywhere in the world can go into this rather small article. I fear the tag may put off reviewers from looking at this article, so I will point out here that the supplemental rules say a DKY cannot have "dispute" tags, and practice is it cannot have major cleanup/referencing tags. But "improvement" tags like this are this are not an issue. MB 23:24, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
Article titles should reflect the current content of the article, not what it could be if someone added content on say Bulgaria. Johnbod (talk) 00:29, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
I added some more stuff about the two-room schoolhouse in Quebec, added one in Toronto, and also added a mention of a two-room schoolhouse being built by the Seabees in Timor-Leste. @MB: Does this help? jp×g 19:05, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
JPxG, yes, thanks for digging up a more non-US examples. But none of this is DYK related and belongs here - this should be on the article TP. MB 19:19, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
Oh, I figured that this was the bottleneck on a review. If not, I can just fix the tag and do one myself. jp×g 19:22, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: I think that, once the little kerfluffu with the globalization tag is resolved (either by expanding the article, editing it to clarify scope, or by moving it to a more appropriate title) it should be good to roam. jp×g 19:44, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

JPxG, thanks for the review. I don't see anything wrong with leaving the globalize tag because it may prompt editors add more non-US info. No one has actually started a formal RM to change the title (which would be less likely to gain consensus after your additions), so we can't hold this nomination forever in case the title changes. And as I said above, Supplemental rule D7 says DYKs should not have dispute tags; improvement tags are OK. MB 15:30, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
Seems fine to me. Approved. jp×g 20:00, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
