Untitled[edit]

I love the idea of your topic . You really did a good job but I feel there something missing . I would add more information about how he chose that specialty and why death penalty was something he dug deeper into and wrote a book about it . Also maybe add more references that will help to support your topic.Basmaek (talk) 23:12, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So I think you have an interesting idea, but from what you have written, I do not see a connection to race and ethnicity yet. Make sure that you are clear about the race / ethnicity component. Something else I notice is that you guys are lacking the organizational aspects of wikipedia that people expect from a wikipedia page. Remember this is a real wikipedia page you're making, so make sure that gets put in. (I know you're probably planning on it but that's what I see) Your references are a little lacking, and I can only actually visit one of them, meaning I don't actually know where that information came from. Focus on making sure your language is professional, as well as capitalization, and grammar. It looks like it's unfinished to me, so make sure you either finish or take out any headings you deem superfluous. Newmster8 (talk) 00:20, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback[edit]

This isn't nearly complete enough for me to review. It's a collection of notes, not a Wikipedia article. Please let me know what you are ready for feedback.

When writing biographical articles, please follow the layout that’s recommended on page 3 of the Editing Biographies handout linked above. Bear in mind that Wikipedia articles are supposed to be written based on sources that are independent of the subject of the article. You can't use someone's personal website, their employer's website, or their CV.

Ian I believe that the article is ready to be reviewed. I am not sure about the referencing of the sources in the article is enough to make the article credible. @Ian (Wiki Ed): Cgockler (talk) 07:02, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It looks pretty good, so far. For starters, you need to make sure that references are connected directly with the statements they support. They should be at the end of sentences or paragraphs, they should not be in section headers. Section headers also should use sentence capitalization, not title capitalization. You also need to add links to other articles.

Beyond that, yes, you should try to find more sources. The more you can add, the better. Especially ones that aren't directly connected to Radelet. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:03, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello I was a teacher assistant for a project that included making wikipedia pages, including this one. The professor for the class reached out to me and informed me that Michael L. Radelet has requested this page be taken down. Could you please help me with this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lumo76163 (talk • contribs) 15:37, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lumo76163, I have included the proper deletion template on the top of the page. What you need to do now is follow WP:AFDHOWTO step II; follow the red link saying this article's entry and paste {{subst:afd2 | pg=Michael L. Radelet| cat=B| text=Why the page should be deleted}} ~~~~, replacing the "why the page" bit with your reasoning. Primefac (talk) 15:54, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
