Atlantic College


I've listed this article for peer review as it has had substantial revisions and additions (by many different editors) since being assessed as Start-class in the schools (high-importance), education (mid-importance), and Wales categories 8+ years ago. Would appreciate any pointers to how best to improve the article, and external eyes to highlight where there might be gaps in the content. (ps - not sure what the best "topic" is for this peer review; an educational institution seems to feel loosely within "Social sciences and society" but happy to adjust if there's a better home for it, or if it would be better off in the general list.)

Comments by Z1720
Hi, I am sorry that it has taken so long for someone to comment on this article. Here are some suggestions, based on a quick skim:


 * Each paragraph should end in a citation to verify the preceeding information.
 * Ref 5 is for a Wikipedia page. Wikipedia should never be used as a citation in Wikipedia articles.
 * The notable alumni and students section is too long. I suggest trimming out the less-important people.
 * The second paragraph in Academics needs citations.
 * The second paragraph in College needs citations.
 * "Students from over 90 countries participate in Atlantic College's rigorous two-year programme" Delete rigorous, as that is subjective.

Once these are addressed, please ping me and I will add additional comments. If you are concerned that you might be missing information, I suggest looking at featured articles about schools, such as Texas A&M University. Z1720 (talk) 18:15, 31 October 2021 (UTC)


 * are you still interested in fixing up this article, or do you want to close this PR? Z1720 (talk) 14:57, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
 * @Z1720 I am! I'm working through the comments above in a sandbox; will push to the main article soon. Thank you for your feedback and your patience - and for checking in! Dotx3 (talk) 04:13, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I think I've fixed up the issues listed above and a handful of additional things (Among other things, I cut down the alumni list significantly, but - would you suggest trimming further?). I would welcome any further PR suggestions. Dotx3 (talk) 15:13, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I suggest putting the list of alumni in paragraphs, with brief descriptions of their accomplishments. I would also suggest trimming the list to the most important people in each category. Z1720 (talk) 15:36, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * are you still working on this article? If not, can we close this PR? If you are looking for more comments, perhaps you can ask for reviewers on relevant Wikiproject talk pages. Z1720 (talk) 18:11, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Let's close it for now. Thank you for your suggestions - I think I've incorporated all of them except one, and I will take a stab at restructuring the alumni section into paragraphs when I have time. Cheers! Dotx3 (talk) 19:27, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
