Great Americans
This peer review discussion has been closed. I'm not certain that my review of this site is complete, clear, and unbiased. Any feedback would be very helpful.

Thanks, Marc

Finetooth comments: Peer review "is intended for high-quality articles that have already undergone extensive work, often as a way of preparing a featured article candidate." The existing article is a stub created on January 9 and does not qualify for peer review. Nonetheless, here are a few pointers to get you started.


 * The dab-checker tool in the toolbox at the top of this review page finds three text links that go to disambiguation pages instead of their intended targets.


 * To meet WP:V, my rule of thumb is to provide a source for every unusual claim, every set of statistics, every direct quotation, and every paragraph.


 * Make sure that your sources are reliable per WP:RS. For example, pr-inside.com appears to be a personal web site. What makes it reliable? Please check the others to make sure that they meet the WP:RS guidelines.


 * Citations to Internet sources should include author, title, publisher, date of publication, url, and date of most recent access, if all of those are known or can be found. You might want to use the cite family of templates to help you organize your citations. You can find them at WP:CIT and try them out in your sandbox. If you use them, don't mix them with other families of citation templates like the "Citation" family, also found at WP:CIT.


 * WP:MOSBOLD advises against bolding except in a few special cases. For the bolded items in the "Website features" section, use italics for emphasis and quotation marks for titles.


 * I made the heads more telegraphic and used lower-case letters to start most of the words. WP:MOSHEAD explains the guidelines.

I hope these suggestions prove helpful. If so, please consider reviewing another article, especially one from the PR backlog at WP:PR; that is where I found this one. I don't usually watch the PR archives or check corrections or changes. If my comments are unclear, please ping me on my talk page. Finetooth (talk) 03:04, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
