Evaluation of "Relay Race"
What I noticed on the article that I choose, was that it was well started, and had some good explanations on some of the topics, I also noticed that there were a lot of topics that were stated but weren’t making sense, they were jumping from one thing to another. There is a lot of room for improvement on this topic. But I’m afraid of this assignment because i had never edited something like this. I think it’s going to be a little hard for me, but I will try and give my best.

Alondra's Work Log
Oct 4th. read through the relay race article over again to have a better understanding of what I am going to do next. Oct 5th. I identified what the article is missing, and how some of the topic aren't finished. Oct 6th. I Looked several websites to know more about relay race.

Oct 19th. read about cross-country relays

Oct 20th. I added this "The Crusader Team Sprint Cross Country Relay Race is a [fun and unique--take out biased adjectives] venue specifically designed to get runners familiar with distance running and excited for the rest of the cross country season.  [Teams of two will.... take out: Teams will be pairs of runners.  The team will] run four loops of a 1 mile course.  Runner “A” will run loop 1 and hand off to Runner “B.”  Runner “B” will run the same loop and hand off back to Runner “A.”  “A” runs one more loop, hands off to “B,” and “B” finishes. [There are] 3 race categories: boys, girls, and co-ed.  Awards will be given in each of the three categories." to cross- county relays

Nov 2nd. I made research about relay race on a book.

Nov 3rd. I would add " Relay race, also called Relay, a track-and-field sport consisting of a set number of stages (legs), usually four, each leg run by a different member of a team. The runner finishing one leg is usually required to pass on a baton to the next runner while both are running in a marked exchange zone." and I would also add " In most relays, team members cover equal distances: Olympic events for both men and women are the 400-metre (4 × 100-metre) and 1,600-metre (4 × 400-metre) relays. Some non-Olympic relays are held at distances of 800 m, 3,200 m, and 6,000 m. In the less frequently run medley relays, however, the athletes cover different distances in a prescribed order—as in a sprint medley of 200, 200, 400, 800 metres or a distance medley of 1,200, 400, 800, 1,600 metres.

10/3- Good start! It can be an intimidating project. I've set up some headings for you that you can keep working on. It's good that you've noticing that topics jump from one to the next, but try to be more specific. Please use this handout to help you make a detailed list of ways you can improve "Relay Race". https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/96/Evaluating_Wikipedia_brochure_%28Wiki_Education_Foundation%29.pdf

10/13- Okay, good. I'm not noticing "topics that were started but weren't making sense"...but it is a long article. Can you specify? Try verifying some of the facts (like the longest relay race) that don't have citations yet, okay?

10/24- Good! I have a revision for you, above. You should be making changes only on this page, not the main page yet. What's your source for this new info.? Add a citation? What other changes or images have you found?
