Training Notes
Elements of quality articles

The best articles share certain qualities, which can serve as a model for you to strive for in your own work:

Here's how to move your drafted content:
 * Detailed lead section: the overview at the start of the article is clear and easy to understand.
 * Clear structure: there are several headings and subheadings arranged chronologically or by themes, with images or diagrams when appropriate.
 * Balanced content: the article covers many aspects of the topic, giving more weight to important viewpoints and less weight to fringe ideas.
 * Neutral tone: the article is written without bias toward a particular point of view, and represents all the different viewpoints that reliable sources have expressed about the topic.
 * Good sourcing: reliable sources are cited throughout the article and as much as possible.


 * 1) Open your sandbox in Edit mode. (References and other templates will break if you copy from Read mode.)
 * 2) Select the portion you want to move into the live article.
 * 3) Open the original article in Edit mode and add your content into the article.
 * 4) Add an edit summary that says it was copied from your sandbox, and click 'Publish changes'. (Include a link to your sandbox, like , in the edit summary.)
 * 5) Repeat this process for any other parts of the article you worked on.
 * 6) Make sure that the lead section reflects the new content you've added. And copy-edit the article to ensure your additions mesh well with the preexisting content.

Once you've gotten the hang of it, you can make additional changes directly in the article, or repeat the sandbox procedure each time you add new content.

Peloton (company) Evaluation/ Draft Ideas
I chose this article because it is something I spend a lot of time doing and have quite a bit of knowledge on the topic. The article was rated as a Start-Class on quality and Low on importance, which makes it a great first article for me to evaluate. While this article has a good foundation, there are a lot of edits that could be made to improve the quality including:


 * References are made to 4 of the Peloton instructors, but not to all. This seems a bit biased to me as these 4 are not of any more importance/ fame than the rest of the instructors. Maybe include a section with Wiki links to all of the instructors currently employed with Peloton.
 * A section around the growth of the company due to the COVID-19 pandemic would be relevant & new information. There are a few sentences, but it may be useful to show the impacts with a separate section with more detail.
 * Include information about their apparel line and additional demand around the product line.
 * Needs more images. I noticed someone requested an image of the bike in the Talk page in October 2020.
 * Products section:
 * Bike
 * Include more explanation/ Wiki link for Apple GymKit
 * Include detailed specs on the new Bike+ to differentiate from original Bike
 * Treadmill
 * Content out of date: The new Treadmill has since been released in the UK, will be released to parts of the US/ Canada in early 2021, and in Germany later in 2021

Overall this article seems to be in the early stages of development and could use quite a bit of work.
