Talk:WJEC (exam board)

message: I decided it'd be best to take them out. It's not a big issue about the exam board itself, it's not going to stay up to date, and if people wanted to know there's the official source: the WJEC site. I checked WP:NOT, and I figure it's sorta included under the 'indiscriminate list' section. If you disagree, please give me a shout (as well as doing whatever).
I also took out a paragraph comparing the french course with that of AQA, I think - which seemed rather random and fairly redundant. It went on to explain what the exams for that course are.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:WJEC.png

message: I'm the web editor for WJEC, and am interested in expanding the content of this stub.
I have a sanitised version of our About us page ready to contribute (sanitised meaning no marketing, nothing beyond the facts about what we actually do, where we do it, and what we're officially responsible for). I was wondering if anyone here'd have a problem with me putting that version up? I completely understand if you do. If there's no objections I'll do the edit in a day or two. Might be an idea if I post the content I'm proposing here for you to see. Here goes!
As a further note, is it at all possible to change the title of the article to WJEC - from "Welsh Joint Education Committee"? This is no longer in use by the organisation.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clawsofdoom (talk • contribs) 15:38, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

This new qualification is available to schools in Wales at Intermediate or Advanced levels, is being piloted at Foundation level. The Welsh Baccalaureate offers a programme of study incorporating working with employers, community activities, individual investigations and key skills, as well as students’ GCSEs, GNVQs or A level studies.

I'll obviously work on the formatting, linking, referencing etc. if there's no problems with the content.

thread_title:  WJEC 

message: I come across this article, I have to agree 100% with Green Tentacle...
"The Manual of Style for abbreviations makes it clear that if two articles have a claim to an acronym (as is the case here - the exam board and the radio station), then the articles should be at their spelled out names. (The fact that the exam board is called 'WJEC' now is irrelevant - it still stands for 'Welsh Joint Education Committee'.) This would also put WJEC in line with the other acronym-based exam boards:
* AQA is at Assessment and Qualifications Alliance
* OCR is at Oxford, Cambridge and RSA Examinations
* SQA is at Scottish Qualifications Authority
* CCEA is at Council for the Curriculum, Examinations & Assessment (with an automatic redirect from CCEA)"
This page needs to move back to Welsh Joint Education Committee. For me the case for moving to overwhelming. SethWhales talk   10:52, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
