"Advertisement" Article Help
Can someone give me some advice on the "written like an advertisement" posting on my Sports Management Worldwide article? Not sure to what this refers to. Lisafenderson (talk) 05:08, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Might I suggest a link to the article referred to? Hans404 (talk) 06:13, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

 * In general terms: stick to cold, hard factual information from independent reliable sources, and it's all good.


 * Specific problems;


 * SMWW offers online sports career training programs and currently enrolled students, and graduates, represent more than 100 countries.
 * Sounds like a line on their website, not like an encyclopaedia. "Offers" is a bit dodgy, but maybe just about OK. The 'more than 100' is vague, and a peacock term. 'Currently' is best avoided too, as WP:RECENTISM. I can't see any newspaper articles that mention it, so you'll probably have to rely on the primary source of the website, which is OK, but needs extreme care. I'd probably give up entirely on the 'over 100 countries' bit, and simply put SMWW provides online sports career training programs.&lt;ref>http://www.sportsmanagementworldwide.com/courses&lt;/ref>


 * SMWW and "Sports Agent" course graduates co-represent numerous professional athletes throughout the world, including:
 * 'Numerous' is peacock, too vague, not neutral, etc. Also best to avoid lists, if possible; just maybe {{xt|SMWW and "Sport agent" course graduates co-represent professional athletes including Matt Moore of the Carolina Panthers and Akeem Jordan of the Philadelphia Eagles.
 * Don't bother with Dion Gales unless there is a good reference for it.


 * For more help, you can either;


 * Leave a message on my own talk page;
 * Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~ at the end;
 * Talk to us live, with this or this.


 * The last of those is particularly useful - please try it; pop in now and say hello.  Chzz  ►  06:33, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
