Talk:Boston Society of Vulcans

Ref methods
Keara, this is a great start! I think I found the issue with your citations. You have two potential models: first, an excellent suggested method from User:Reagle on citation formatting using the sfn template. Using that method, you'd create a list of references at the end of the article by hand, which is what you've started to do. (Quite nicely.)

The other method is using the tags, where you'd put full citation information into the body of the article. You've also started doing this, so as far as I can tell you're sort of mixing two methods. You either want to use the method outlined by your professor, which uses sfn syntax and creates a list of references at the end of the article. Or you want to use the method, which creates citations in the article and uses the at the end of the article.

Does that make sense? In one method, the more precise one suggested by your professor, you use the sfn code to put shortcuts in the article text, and build out your list at the bottom of the article. In the other method, you put full citation info into the body of the article and only have the code at the end. AmandaRR123 (talk) 19:18, 17 October 2014 (UTC)


 * AmandaRR123, Keara came by office hours today and I think we got it sorted using the traditional Wikipedian approach for now. -Reagle (talk) 19:49, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Peer Edit
Overall it is well written, but a few changes could be made to improve the overall article. First, could be a picture that represents the Society, in order to help out readers and give the page a more official look. You could also add an infobox with gerneral information so people would be able to quickly find fast facts about the Society. One other change that could be made is that in the first section, you say the year the society was founded twice. This is redundant and it should either be started with "Founded in...", or it should be taken out and only used later on in the paragraph. Overall, an informative article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ohart3 (talk • contribs) 16:11, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Great history and background on the society. Expand a bit more on the work that the Vulcan Society does (names of their educational programs, etc.). Who were/are Lloyd Phillips, Raymond Moss, and Robert Powell (Charitable and Community Outreach)? Addyre — Preceding undated comment added 16:41, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
