Three reasons actually. Firstly I do not see any use in school articles being in an encylopedia. Secondly when I was first stumbling around the site I wandered across something akin to ballot box stuffing by those who want to keep schools and so thought providing a counterweight may be useful. I may prove to be mistaken on this point. Thirdly it's an interesting diversion during my lunch hour. [[User:Catchpole|Catchpole]] 22:19, 5 December 2005 (UTC) |
