United States Academic Decathlon
We've been working a bit on this article, and it would be helpful to hear other opinions on how to improve it, looking towards a future Featured article candidacy. Tito xd (?!? - help us) 06:20, 16 February 2006 (UTC) Circeus 14:17, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * lead is awfully short.
 * More inline citations, if your aim is FAC
 * Question examples would be nice.
 * I think the table should be centered for esthetics.
 * though not necessary per se, paper references are nice
 * needs a history section badly.


 * I think sections with only one subsections look awkward; my view is better to have one longer section or two subs per section at least. Kaisershatner 16:24, 16 February 2006 (UTC)  The lead should explicitly state (1) who competes in it (teams of high school students?), (2) what the competition consists of ("there are ten events, including...").  I think it should also include the popularity of it or number of entrants, to give the reader some idea of the significance of the subject.  Kaisershatner 16:27, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I've worked on most of your comments now, but I'm still working on the articleto split the events section into more manageable sections. Tito xd (?!? - help us) 23:58, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
