Talk:Manchester High Leaks

Should cursive transcriptions be added? If so, where?

Some users on the forums have complained about not being able to (easily) read Chris's cursive handwriting. I transcribed the Amendment timeline here but I didn't insert it in this page because I thought it might make the page way too long/cluttered. I'm not sure that a separate article for each document is necessary (unless analyzing each document is not too spergy for the CWCki). Would a collapsible box on this page be a good way to add the transcriptions? A CWCki Forums user has transcribed one of the more recent leaks. There may be other transcriptions on the forums (I haven't completely caught up yet). --CWCTime (talk) 13:23, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

I think that in many countries cursive writing is not taught at all. I'm an Israeli and I haven't been taught how to read it, and I know of no other compatriot of mine who have been. For that reason, I think that transcriptions are definitely needed, and yeah I think that collapsible boxes for the transcriptions would be good. As for analyzing the Chris's homework... I think that this is something the CWCki should do to. We already note instances in which Chris shows a lack of knowledge regarding subjects that an adult at his age should be knowledgeable about; analyzing the mistakes he made in his homework would be appropriate. - NegaCWC (talk) 14:13, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

Alright, I started adding brief descriptions and collapsible transcriptions. They could use some help from someone better at formatting than me... I couldn't figure out how to use different font colors in the transcriptions, for example. When I tried using formatting like <font color="00ff00">, it kept breaking entire quoteboxes. --CWCTime (talk) 04:43, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

--Speaking of handwriting, I would like to politely point out that Chris didn't write "Dong MacArthur." He wrote Doug; it's just hard to read. --asperhes.

Maybe we should give him the benefit of the doubt (certainly he meant "Doug" in any case), but if you look at the Us in "Arthur" and the Ns in "Pyongyang" it really looks like a U. -CWCTime (talk) 11:23, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Proposal: Rename the article and split it off by subjects

1. Page is currently titled "June 2014 leaks". It's going to be July soon and I've still got stuff to leak. I request that the page's name be changed to "Manchester High Leaks" or something similar. 2. This page is getting a bit big. I think we should have brief, overall summaries on this main page, and have a separate page for each individual school subject once we get enough content. Thoughts? Comments?

I agree with you on both points (I added a topic header for your comment, by the way, hope that's okay). At the start of the leaks I had no idea on the timeframe/how much content you were going to leak, so I didn't consider the name or size, but now clearly both need to be addressed and I think you have good approaches to them. As for the name itself, on the forums they have been dubbed "Burned Docs", which is catchy but not very informative IMO. I would suggest mentioning "homework" somewhere in the title as well, but I dunno... does "Manchester High Homework Leaks" seem too unwieldy? --CWCTime (talk) 18:25, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Why not just "Manchester High Homework"? - NegaCWC (talk) 22:25, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

I say Manchester High Homework. I think I'll rename the title now. Alan Pardew (talk) 15:07, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

EDIT: Chose "Manchester High Leaks". Let me know if you dislike the name. Alan Pardew (talk) 15:13, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
