Scope?[edit]

I am just looking for clarification on the scope of this article so I can help update/clean up.

There are two articles covering the Spokane City Public Schools
- Spokane Public Schools covers just the Spokane School District = public schools in Spokane City
- Education in Spokane, Washington covers Spokane education in general (libraries, public and private schools, higher education, etc) but covers the Spokane School District public schools in more detail than the above article.

So, should there be both articles? or should the more specific Spokane School District information be moved to that article and referenced here? (This is mostly for less confusion and work. Both articles are out-of-date in different ways and it's tedious hunting down the incorrect information and repeating the corrections in both articles.)

This article references schools and institutions near Spokane, ie Spokane City and surrounding area.
- I don't understand where the included area stops. Some closer high schools are missing while further away ones are included.
- Spokane city primary schools are covered but not primary schools around the county
- The initial paragraph gives statistics on the city school district but no data on the other districts.
- The libraries give a lot of information about the city library (5 branches) but barely mentions the county library system (11 branches), and skips Liberty Lake library (but includes Liberty Lake schools in the next section)
- Most but not all of the Spokane county districts are named, again closer ones are skipped while further away ones are mentioned.

I just need some guidelines about which information belongs here and which does not.Katrazyna (talk) 09:21, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Namesake[edit]

The first paragraph in the Libraries section ends with this: "The first downtown library building, The Carnegie Building, still stands 5 blocks from the current Downtown library and bears his namesake." This seems clearly to be a rewrite of an older sentence including the person Carnegie, but as it stands, the ending doesn't make sense. The building bears Carnegie's name, not his "namesake", among other issues. Are they trying to say that it bears his likeness, like a mural or sculpture of him? I'm taking it out. If it is referring to his name, I think that's clear without explanation, given it's called "The Carnegie Building", and if it's not, then it's confusing and unclear.
