Discussion
[edit]Please feel free to contribute ideas for new sections to this article. One issue that needs to be addressed is the fact that many of the references are not presented in an encyclopedic style, however I am not actually sure how it is that you do present them as such. Anyone who knows how to do this your help would greatly be appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by P.Marlow (talk • contribs) 22:11, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
I've now found how to do this and have done so for most of the references, so this is no longer an issue.--P.Marlow (talk) 18:16, 1 December 2008 (UTC) RESOLVED
- I think that the category "Bulgarian traditions" should be removed. After all, a village cannot be tradition in my opinion :) --Gligan (talk) 21:40, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- Well I originally placed it there as the article contained tradition-related content, (watermelon day), but I see what you mean. I'll promptly remove it.--P.Marlow (talk) 22:24, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Things to do
[edit]After the peer review a large list of helpful suggestions was generated. The plan now is to go through all the points and complete them. After you've completed a point cross through it on the peer review discussion page or if below where I have quote the automated review process' list. To cross through an item place <s> at the begining of the it and </s> at the end. You can also look at the To Do list for this article.
The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
- Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.[?]
- Avoid including galleries in articles, as per Wikipedia:Galleries. Common solutions to this problem include moving the gallery to wikicommons or integrating images with the text.[?]
Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -
between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 5 km, use 5 km, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 5 km.[?]Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), please spell out source units of measurements in text; for example, the Moon is 380,000 kilometres (240,000 mi) from Earth.[?] Specifically, an example is 1.5 km2.As per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), dates shouldn't use th; for example, instead of (if such appeared in the article) using January 30th was a great day, use January 30 was a great day.[?]- Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
- Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “
Allpigs are pink, so we thought ofa number ofways to turn them green.”
- Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “
- As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2][?]
- Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]
