Patrick Henry College[edit]

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.
  • This article may be a bit list-weighty; in other words, some of the lists should be converted to prose (paragraph form).
  • Thanks, AndyZ t 01:09, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks for the comments. Can you tell me specifically which sections are most in need of expansion? Also, should the list of courses be turned into prose somehow? Aplomado talk 01:24, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • "Athletics", "Traditions", and "Statistics" all could use expansion. AndyZ t 13:47, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • Thanks, I'll look into making some changes as soon as possible. Aplomado talk 20:25, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • In response to AndyZ's bullet point about date links. This can be done easily using a 'dates' tab in edit mode. Simply copy the entire contents of User:Bobblewik/monobook.js to your own monobook. You will also get a 'units' tab. Hope that helps. bobblewik 19:29, 28 May 2006 (UTC)"[reply]

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.
