Minor formatting advice re David Grace (basketball)
Looks a lot better, and Dodger found it good enough to publish, so congrats!

One suggestion, in your main section you have a lot of mini-paragraphs of just a sentence or so. I suggest to improve readability that you group related sentences into paragraphs, possibly with a short intro sentence explaining what stage of his life the paragraph is about, and/or having sub-section headings like "Military and retirement", "Career at X school", "Career at Y school", "Awards", etc. This is a good solid initial article, but there's always room for fine tuning which makes it even better for readers, and helps you build your editing skills.

Nice work, hope you'll stick around and write more new articles, or improve existing ones, about topics you enjoy! MatthewVanitas (talk) 17:32, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Preview – Consolidate – Summarize
Hello- Below are a few editing suggestions to make it easier for you and others to collaborate on the encyclopedia. Please preview, consolidate, and summarize your edits: Thanks in advance for considering these suggestions. Eric talk 03:55, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Try to consolidate your edits, at least at the section level, to avoid cluttering the page's edit history; this makes it easier for your fellow editors to understand your intentions, and makes it easier for those monitoring activity on the article.
 * The show preview button (beside the "publish changes" button) is helpful for this; use it to view your changes incrementally before finally saving the page once you're satisfied with your edits.
 * Please remember to explain each edit with an edit summary (box above the "publish changes" button).
