User talk:TKUW/Tyee High School

Just finalized and went live on my article. I am celebrating my first contribution to the Wikipedia community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TKUW (talk • contribs) 07:10, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I'm starting to walk through articles and give everyone informal early feedback on how they're doing. You'll notice this is a little bit form-letter-ish but I hope it is still helpful!

I see you've made some changes and are starting to incorporate elements from our training, but there's still a ways to go with this article. If you're feeling stuck, please let me know how I can support you.

feedback on progress
Hi

You are definitely making progress. I notice you've added the mission statement, information about diversity, DECA, and overall scope of the school. To make the point about diversity, you might find it useful to offer comparative statistics about Washington State as a whole. Folks who aren't from here won't know how to gauge the significance of the percentages without information about the average.

It looks like some of the negative information about the school is missing; since Wikipedia is oriented to a neutral point of view, content rules and norms ask that this information be kept. I do think the history of the school is a little unclear and hard to follow -- a lot of text is about the nuts and bolts of the school being divided into pieces, but then there's a sentence saying the school has been returned to a single school. Usually alumni listings go at the bottom of an article. Keep working and let me know if you have any questions about this.

Go Live Approval
Hi

You are continuing to make solid progress on this article. At this point, I think it is safe to go live. However, it looks like it needs more work before it would receive full credit for this assignment. You can move it to live and then continue to work. The goal is to advance the article by a quality class in ways that demonstrate engagement with the norms of Wikipedia. One way you might extend the article is to add an infobox with key facts -- like the one someone made for Shorecrest High School. Infoboxes help readers a lot -- and, if you Google for Tyee High School versus Shorecrest High School, I think you'll see what I see, which is that putting information in a structured box in Wikipedia ends up feeding it into Google in a nice clean way, so there's a data card on the right side instead of just a big list of links. All that said, you do have approval to move it to live if you are ready.

As a reminder, here are our go-live steps:


 * 1) Final read-through draft.
 * 2) Check live article for changes. [History Tab]
 * 3) Two browsers side by side, if you can. Source editing mode ("Code mode"), not visual editor.
 * 4) Paragraph by paragraph copy, leaving behind an explanatory edit summary after each chunk of changes.
 * 5) Note on article talk page.
 * 6) Note at the top of your sandbox version.
 * 7) Submit a link to your article on Canvas.
 * 8) Celebrate!
