Review of 2014 Venus Williams Tennis Season
Hi Luke,

I'm an experienced editor, and I've seen the page that you created. There are a few things that I noticed.


 * Formatting and structure:
 * Wikipedia articles don't have the word "overview" at the top. Each article starts with an overview, so you don't have to say it explicitly.
 * You need to divide the article into sections: each section heading should have "==" before and after the title. Go to another article and click "Edit source" to see how it's done.
 * Wikilinks: when there is a term that can be linked, you can put it in double square brackets to link it to another article. You'll see them all over in other articles.
 * References:
 * First, you need to give links in full (e.g. http://www.wtatennis.com instead of wtatennis.com, but also referring to a specific page, instead of the whole site)
 * Second, it's much better to use links inline in your text to support specific statements, using tags. See for example the Venus Williams page for examples.

There is another issue, though: I'm really not convinced that Wikipedia should have a separate article about Venus Williams's 2014 season. Have you read What Wikipedia is not? I'm of the opinion (and that's just my opinion) that this is an example of indiscriminate collection of information, which is outside our scope.

I've added the article to my watchlist, and I'll come back in a week or so to look again. I'll probably take it to the forum for deletion discussions to get input from other editors about whether it should be kept, and then we'll have a clear idea of whether other editors share my opinion.
