Clemson sandbox

Hi Tricia! I have a few comments for you about your sandbox. First off, do you think the "Tiger Pushups" information would work better as a subsection of "Athletics"? The last sentence of the Pushups section doesn't fit there, but the rest of it would (and the last sentence should go elsewhere). Second, when you include an imperial measurement (like pounds), it's a good idea to use the {{convert}} template to show what that would be in metric (for people like me - I'm Canadian, I don't speak pounds ;-). The bit about the colleges might be better in Academics - I don't know much about the American system, but from the titles I'm guessing these are academic divisions, not social (and you should probably include a bit more content, to explain what these colleges are and what kinds of programming they include). The references you're using look mostly fine. For the web source, you should also include retrieval date, and the info you've listed as the title is actually the publisher. Here's what it should look like: "Traditions". Clemson University. Retrieved July 22, 2012. When you cite books, you should try to include the specific page(s) that the information is coming from. Finally, you need a little bit of copy-editing. For example, "The Tiger paw became to logo" - what does this mean? Nikkimaria (talk) 21:39, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
