Style

[edit]

I've re-organised the article to put the personal information at the top of the article. I've moved the citations out of the info box as they do not belong there. I have removed the citations from the lead as they also do not belong there. This should address the problems the tag addressed. --LauraHale (talk) 02:35, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think I put that tag on there before I realized what disoriented me about the article. In retrospect, I think it was only that the article uses "she" too many times in consecutive sentences, as well as making use of many simple (as opposed to compound) sentences. I will come back after the article has stabilised some to see if I can reword some things, but I probably tagged the article prematurely. Joe SchmedleyTalk 03:31, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A good article is—

  1. Well-written:
  2. (a) the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and

  3. Verifiable with no original research:
  4. (a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;

    (c) it contains no original research.
  5. Broad in its coverage:
  6. (a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic;[3] and
    (b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
  7. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
  8. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.

Discussion

[edit]

This is a good article, it doesn't belittle the subject for a disability, yet properly describes the achievements and cites accomplishments properly. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 15:13, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Additional Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
  2. ^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
  3. ^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
  4. ^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
  5. ^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
  6. ^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.

2010 IPC games

[edit]

In this article it states that Teigan failed to finish in the top three in any event in the 2010 Games in Eindhoven. This appears to be true for in the pool, but her IPC profile states that she won the 5km Open water grand finale event in the S11-13 class? I can't access the cite that contests this in the article. Can someone shine light on this? Thanks FruitMonkey (talk) 17:20, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've answered my own question, she did win the open waters competition, but that was because she was the only person who entered the event and thus no medals were awarded. I've changed the sentence to reflect this. Good on her though, I wouldn't fancy a 5km swim in Dutch waters. FruitMonkey (talk) 13:24, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
