Talk:Northwestern University Lakefill

Untitled

Great job! This is a very well put together article and your sections are clearly organized. Your lead is succinct and there is a good balance of general versus descriptive information that touches on each of the major sections that you discuss later in the article. In these sections the amount of information you present is great. In terms of improvements, I would suggest trying to find additional sources outside of those published by Northwestern. It looks like there are only two of these in your reference list. Most come from the Daily Northwestern, which may be an issue when it comes to assessing whether or not biases exist in the article. There also seem to be some grammatical hiccups in this. For example, you say , "Home of the Northwestern Field Hockey, the Northwestern Lakeside Field was built in 1997..." I feel that it should either read, "Home of the Northwestern field hockey team..." or "Home of Northwestern field hockey..." It might help just to carefully read through the article again to catch minor things like this. Also, this may just be personal preference, but I feel like there may be too much description in regard to the buildings. Sometimes, I found myself forgetting that I was on the page for the NU Lakefill (and maybe this calls for the creation of the buildings to have their own pages!). Other than these suggestions for improvements, I found this article to be very interesting and informative, and I enjoyed reading it. Good job!

Great job, guys! It must have been challenging to cite such current information about construction that's currently happening on the lakefill, but you found some awesome sources. One thing that you might be able to improve is the citations. I think your article would be stronger with citations directly after explicit facts about dates, costs, etc. Also, I would link the Norris University Center sub-header to the Norris Wikipedia page-- rather than linking within the section-- just for consistency. Finally, I made a few minor copy edits like writing out small numbers. Overall, this article is really comprehensive and interesting. Great job! Afmccaffrey (talk) 03:24, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Really solid article with concise, up-to-date information about the origins, constructions of the Lakefill and the facilities surrounding it. Just playing devil's advocate here, but this statement: "The University Center is an integral part of campus life and serves to promote a sense of community" may be interpreted by some Wikipedians as being a value-statement and not expressed in a neutral tone. This totally may not be the case, but that's one of my concerns. In terms of adding more content, it might be nice to expand the section on the Kellogg Global Hub by exploring the origins of its predecessor - the James L. Allen Center for Executive Development.

This article is brief, to the point, grammatically correct, and informative. The only way I see to improve is by adding more information. Good job! - Alexa — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asledge19 (talk • contribs) 20:47, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
