Assess : newly added and existing articles, maybe nominate some good B-class articles for GA; independently assess some as A-class, regardless of GA status.
Cleanup : * Sport governing body (this should-be-major article is in a shameful state) * Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.) * Standardize Category:American college sports infobox templates to use same font size and spacing. * Sport in the United Kingdom - the Popularity section is incorrect and unsourced. Reliable data is required.
* Fix project template and/or "to do list" Current version causes tables of content to be hidden unless/until reader chooses "show."
Solid additions and expansions here! You do some solid work in the history section here in particular. Some notes I have as you continue researching, adding, and revising are:
history is both a strength of your additions so far and an opportunity to continue expanding. I'm curious whether the history of early races/the first race is specific to the first race in the United States or the earliest/first dirt track races ever. Either way, some clarifying language would be helpful. I'm also curious how this type of racing has changed in the US in the past century...have elements of it become more formalized/regulated? Has its popularity increased? Is it still happening on horse racing ovals?
you may want to use the IMCA website as a source in the reflist or an external link. The current phrasing directing readers to go there for more information doesn't really fit within the Wikipedia structure.
every time a statement of fact is made (such as "The IMCA brought to light the competition and variety that dirt track racing has to offer"), add the source at the end of that sentence rather than only once at the end of the paragraph.
be careful when moving material into the main article--some of the original article material is now showing up in your reflist as circular references to other Wikipedia pages (which will be deleted by a Wikibot or other editors, risking those sources being lost from the article entirely)
what else are you considering adding? What information are you still finding or have you already found that isn't captured here yet? There is a lot of expansion that can still happen in this article.
are you considering adding an image to the article?
I think those are my biggest notes based on this draft. Let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to seeing your final edits! Nicoleccc (talk) 05:58, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
