Wikipedia:Peer review/Patrick Henry College/archive1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article has had a previous peer review and looking at it I believe, we have met all of the standards on that one and now I would like to have another peer review so that the article can be brought up to good article status before nominating it for featured article. I would appreciate all help. God Bless, Professor Davies 02:07, 27 April 2007 (UTC) I am not a professor at the college, I am still a high school student who is merely known as Professor by friends. Here is the old peer review in quotations,[reply]

"I'm hoping to improve this article to at least "good article" status, and eventually make it a featured article candidate. I feel like this article is fairly well-written and comprehensive, but I'm sure there are a number of improvements that can be made, which is why I am listing it here as the first step in the process of making this article FAC-worthy. I know one of its main drawbacks is a lack of pictures, which I think I'll be able to take care of in the next couple months. My main concerns are, does this article have enough information? Is it properly referenced? Is it well-written and understandable to the average reader? What other things need to be improved? Any help and commentary from you all would be greatly appreciated, thanks. Aplomado talk 23:55, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at WP:LEAD. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.
  • Per WP:CONTEXT and WP:MOSDATE, years, decades, and centuries without full dates generally should not be linked. For example, January 2006 should not be linked, instead change it to January 2006. Also, please note WP:BTW and WP:CONTEXT, which state that years with full dates should be linked. For example, February 28, 2006, should be come February 28, 2006.
  • The article will need references. See WP:CITE and WP:V for more information.
  • Please provide WP:CITE information for references/footnotes. See also WP:CITE/ES; templates like {{Cite web}} and {{Cite book}} may be useful here.
  • This article needs footnotes, preferably in the cite.php format recommended by WP:WIAFA. Simply, enclose inline citations, with WP:CITE or WP:CITE/ES information, with <ref>THE FOOTNOTE</ref>. At the bottom of the article, in a section named “References” or “Footnotes”, add <div class="references-small"><references/></div>.
  • The article has a few or too many inline external links, which hamper the readibility of the article. Please convert them to footnotes, preferably in the cite.php format recommended by WP:WIAFA.
  • There are a few sections that are too short and that should be either expanded or merged.

Please link to the previous peer review here so others can see it. If you are a professor at the college, you should be aware of WP:COI.
