Request for a Page Rating

Thank you for rating Arlin R. Horton Sports Center. I was wondering if you could also rate Halenbeck Hall. I'm hoping that Halenbeck can make it into B category considering the aforementioned was rated in the C category and Halenbeck has over three times the amount of sources. Thanks. -User talk:Wjenkins96 Wjenkins96 (talk) 02:57, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Done. A couple of points to improve,

• I would like to see a slightly longer lead section. The lead section should not contain references. See WP:LEAD.
• Would you be able to find a couple of images? I usually try Flickr.
• History and Concerts and Events sections have fractured one-liner paragraphs. Eight-sentence paragraphs are the ideal.
• Remove WP:ALLCAPS.

Nice work, keep it up. Cheers Chanaka L (talk) 03:23, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! I have removed the three sources from the lead section, as the urls for all of them are either in the table or in the External Links section, therefore negating the need for those sources. At the moment, I can't think of anything else to add to the opening section.

There is one photo on WikiMedia: Strength and Conditioning Center, but I didn't include it as I felt it would be oddly-placed without a table header photo (one of the exterior). I had much more luck with this when it came to Pensacola Christian College's article. Most of the Flickr photos were of basketball players playing at the arena, many of whom were St. John's Johnnies players. I'll probably go ahead and consult the SCSU Director of Athletics to get her advice.

I collaborated the first three paragraphs for the concerts section. Honestly, I thought it looked better the way it was. As for the History section, I combined the first two paragraphs into one, and then the Granite City Classic plus community college and semi-pro team paragraphs all into one as well. The last paragraph pertaining to the 2001 renovation was left alone.

By all caps, I assume you're talking about sources #38, #68 and #69. I've since fixed those three.

Thanks for the advice! Wjenkins96 (talk) 04:12, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

@Wjenkins96: Much tidier looking now. I'd use that Commons image anyway in the body. I'd say oddly-placed-photos are better than no-photos-at-all. But that's your discretion. Keep up the good work! Chanaka L (talk) 04:26, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
