Article improvement efforts

[edit]

Efforts are being made to add content to this article to get it improved enough to nominate for Good Article. Efforts to improve the article are nominally being based on the article about Lauren Jackson given the sheer amount of information available about female wheelchair basketball players when compared to other sports like goalball. Hence, the article could really use a good copy edit, maintaining as much information as possible for the short term until all the content is in to determine what belongs and does not. The goal is to nominate the article for Good Article by the end of September. In the mean time, the article has also been nominated for Did You Know. --LauraHale (talk) 10:49, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Katie Hill

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Katie Hill's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reviewer: Wizardman (talk · contribs) 16:01, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am reviewing this article. Here are the issues I found:

  • "In financial year 2012/13, the Australian Sports Commission" That's worded a little oddly to me. Is there a date they gave her the funds or is that as good as we can get?
    • It's about as good as we can get. But I can tell you how it works. There are two funding periods per annum, July-December and January-June. Athletes are nominated by the national sporting organizations, which put in nominations in August for the July-December allocation. If all goes well, the athletes receive their money in November or early December. The exercise is then repeated for the January-June process.
  • What was her role in the Paralympics, or how did she do? Any stats to add even?
  • "The was enough to advance the Gliders to the quarter-finals" who are the Gliders? If that's the nickname for the Paralympic team, make that clearer.
    • All Australian national sports teams have names. We don't call them the Australian women's national wheelchair basketball team; we call them the Gliders. The name comes from the sugar glider, a native animal. The boys are the Rollers, and their standing basketball equivalents are the Opals and Boomers. Added a comment and a reference.

  • My main issue is the length of the article. I know these aren't going to be all that long, but even compared to her teammates this is a really short article with very little in it. Even with just the sources you already use I'm sure you can add a bit more to the article.

Article on hold, will take another look when the issues are fixed. Wizardman 16:01, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. Made a couple tweaks after another read though, and now I feel comfortable passing the article. Wizardman 20:16, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Katie HillKatie Hill (basketball) – With Katie Hill (politician) now prominent, this article, which receives a sparse amount of pageviews, does not strike me as an appropriate primary topic. Nohomersryan (talk) 19:14, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure? See Talk:Catherine Hill and Talk:Kate Hill. Catherine is the normative spelling of all these names Katy Hill etc so the logical place for the dab. Also Catherine Hill (Frome), redirect to Frome, Catherine Hill (schooner) redirect to Catherine Hill Bay, Kate's Hill redirect to Kate Hill, Dudley.
