Article improvement efforts[edit]

Efforts are being made to add content to this article to get it improved enough to nominate for Good Article. Efforts to improve the article are nominally being based on the article about Lauren Jackson given the sheer amount of information available about female wheelchair basketball players when compared to other sports like goalball. Hence, the article could really use a good copy edit, maintaining as much information as possible for the short term until all the content is in to determine what belongs and does not. The goal is to nominate the article for Good Article by the end of September. In the mean time, the article has also been nominated for Did You Know. --LauraHale (talk) 10:49, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

I think you could expand the lead to cover how she became a Paralympian.
- Expanded introduction. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
" As of 2012," it's mid-2013 now, do we have an update?
- No. News is infrequent now that she's retired. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If you link Albury, why not St Peters, New South Wales?
- Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Suggest linking paraplegia.
- Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"Gliders" is mentioned in the infobox but nowhere else.
- Changed to infobox to her clubs. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
" a result of a fall" presumably "as... " but a fall from what? More detail would be good here.
- Added some details. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There must be a link for a "guard"?
- More or less. Added. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"In 2011/2012," nah, they gave her a grant at a specific point in time, but perhaps "For the 2011–12 season..."?
- It would be the financial year, being a government grant. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"MacQuarie University" no need for capital Q.
- Corrected. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"Chancellors Award" apostrophe somewhere I expect?
- Addded. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"She is a.." for new sections reintroduce Mckenzie.
- Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Is it Mckenzie or McKenzie?
- Aaaaargggh. It's McKenzie. Had the pages moved. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"three game test series" -> "three-game Test series"?
- Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"62-37 " en-dash per WP:DASH.
- Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
What's "10:47 minutes"? Do you mean 10 minutes, 47 seconds?
- Yes. Changed to that. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Standardise the accessdate format for refs.
- Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ref titles need en-dashes rather than hyphens (per WP:DASH).
- What are ref titles? Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - When you cite a source, you usually use a "title" field, or in simple terms, the headline of the webpage you're using. These should use en-dashes, not hyphens. If it's too problematic, leave me a note and I'll show you what I mean. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:45, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Done, but that's a really, really bad rule. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:11, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - Why? The Rambling Man (talk) 21:53, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Rambling Man (talk) 17:44, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- - - - When the links decay the first thing I do is run a search on the title. Most of the time, the page has merely moved. Otherwise I have to fish it out of an archive. When we alter the titles, we reduce the chance of being able to find it again. Hawkeye7 (talk) 00:22, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        Most search engines totally ignore punctuation, so there'd be no difference in results between looking for an en-dash or a hyphen. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:39, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On-hold "good article" nomination[edit]

This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of July 2, 2013, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Comments above.

2. Factually accurate?: No issues.

3. Broad in coverage?: Yes, seems okay, although worried about the fact she has a club called "Gliders" in her infobox but no mention of it at all in the article.

4. Neutral point of view?: No worries.

5. Article stability?: Yes.

6. Images?: No problems here.

Let me know when you're through these issues. Thank you for your work so far. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:44, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

All points addressed. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:11, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
