User talk:GreysonAE/Basketball positions

Pre-move Review
Hello, I looked over your article history and noticed that you haven't done too much. This is partially because you have already been copying things back onto the "live article", but also because you seem to have only worked on one section.

Looking at the [|talk page] of the original article, it looks like this was already worked on by another WikiEdu class.

Right now, I would suggest finding an article about a related subject, see which sections/content that may be applicable to yours and writing them. For instance, some other sport with positions.

My guess is there are a few potential sections such as (and mind you I don't know much about basketball): "History", "Strategies", "Reception", etc.

Here are a few suggestions that most of the class' articles have room to improve upon. They may not all apply to your article and don't worry if they aren't all done, but these features might be places where you can further improve the article:


 * Refine the paragraph above the Table of Contents, remember it is the first thing that will be read. Considering adding a short description using this template.
 * Find and add some relevant images. To make sure that you have permission to use the images, please review the WikiEdu module and read the Guide to Illustrating Wikipedia.
 * Add a "See also" section of related articles by creating the heading and adding a list of internal links. Also consider adding a "External links" section, if there is somewhere relevant to link to.
 * Try to find a relevant infobox or fill-in more details for the pre-existing one.
 * Try to find any relevant category templates and WikiProjects. Often these were found at the bottom of the original article or on its "Talk page".
 * Try to find more citations to add as references. Also, make sure to add them correctly and re-use instead of duplicate. Having a wide variety of sources can be just as important as the number.
 * Clean up formatting and use some of the "wiki features". For instance, look for lists that could be sub headers, add internal links to places and concepts that readers may want more information about, consider whether "article elements" (e.g. infobox, table of contents, categories) are in the recommended order.
 * Do some copy-editing. For instance, look for extra paragraphs and whitespace, inconsistent citation placement, extra periods, typos, etc.
 * Review the WikiEdu Editing Guide and see if anything else stands out.

Please make your additions in your sandbox. Ping me on Wikipedia once you're ready and I'll check back. Thanks! 一 Salt ♨️🚲🧂🧙‍♂️🐧🎓⚔️☠️ (talk) 07:56, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Peer Review
First, what does the article do well? Gives factual in-depth information regarding the shooting-guard (SG) as a basketball position.

Is there anything from your review that impressed you? The amount of information and content in the article is impressive! It seems like you have a lot of personal knowledge on the shooting guard position as you talked about it confidently in your article.

What changes would you suggest the author apply to the article? It seems that within your article you are only working from one source. You should definitely branch out if you already weren't planning too, it would make your article stronger and offer multiple insights to new readers. Make subheadings of different positions if you are planning to add more. If you arent you should definitely change the title of your article.

Why would those changes be an improvement? I think these changes would be an improvement for the article because they would separate the information and give the reader clarity.

What's the most important thing the author could do to improve the article? Most importantly make sure you write an introduction and then connect what you wrote within the introduction to the sections additionally in the article.
