United States Academic Decathlon[edit]

We've been working a bit on this article, and it would be helpful to hear other opinions on how to improve it, looking towards a future Featured article candidacy. Tito xd^{(?!? - help us)} 06:20, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

lead is awfully short.
More inline citations, if your aim is FAC
Question examples would be nice.
I think the table should be centered for esthetics.
though not necessary per se, paper references are nice
needs a history section badly.

I think sections with only one subsections look awkward; my view is better to have one longer section or two subs per section at least. Kaisershatner 16:24, 16 February 2006 (UTC) The lead should explicitly state (1) who competes in it (teams of high school students?), (2) what the competition consists of ("there are ten events, including..."). I think it should also include the popularity of it or number of entrants, to give the reader some idea of the significance of the subject. Kaisershatner 16:27, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've worked on most of your comments now, but I'm still working on the articleto split the events section into more manageable sections. Tito xd^{(?!? - help us)} 23:58, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
