Tutorial 2

Activity 2: Woodstock Music festival, New York, 1969

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Woodstock&oldid=297180

The above edit gives a very brief outline of the festival; it's location, date, attendance, a fact of 2 births and 2 deaths at the event, and a list of the bands/ artists that performed. If I was this editor, I would add to this information the proper name of the festival (Woodstock Music and Arts Fair), I would divulge more on the specific location of the site; and along with the list of performing artists, I would provide their set times.

Coming across this article, there is much I would add. Including the information above, I'd discuss the events planning/ preparation, a list of/ brief background of artists that declined invitations to play, films/ albums produces at/ about the event, and the relevance/ impact of the festival on popular culture.

Activity 1 (Quality and importance ratings) : Random article - FC Oqtepa

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Oqtepa

The above article has a quality rating of stub-class. To elevate this articles quality, a much more in depth history of he club would be necessary. Items like who founded and funded the club initially, as well as sponsorships should be included in this area. The clubs colours/ kit should be included, and possibly any changes that have occurred to these over time. There is no mention of their home ground, their fan base or even culture surrounding the club; inclusion of simple things like these would vastly improve the articles quality.

Activity 2 (Citation Needed) : Random article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_156

A citation was needed, I added a "citation needed" after the fact and added a new section on the talk page (at the bottom under the heading "Citation Needed").

Tutorial 5

Feature article - Sind Sparrow

- The lead paragraph provides a good introduction to the subject and prepares us for the rest of the article.
- The reference list is extensive (43 references).
- Structure of the article flows well and makes sense in terms of subject ordering.
- 6 point contents box prepares us for the following, and provides easy links to more specific information we may be seeking.

Tutorial 8 September 11 Attacks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11_attacks This article that me and my partner are reviewing overall is a well, written, non-bias article on the 9/11 attacks in 2001. This article covers the 6 good article criteria by: 1. Well-written- the authors of the 9/11 wiki page explore all of the events that occurred in great detail, moreover, in a simple and concise manner which conveys the sequence of events, and the context of Al Quaida that led to the events. 2. Appropriate references and citations, this article contains 381 references, meaning that the article is broad in its coverage and also verifiable. The September 11 attacks has been listed as a level-4 vital article in history.

Paulo Adriano https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulo_Adriano This article is of stub class, and hence contains very little valuable information. Being about a low level professional footballer, it is not a notable topic that would have had a high demand. It is clear, and well written, the problem however is that there is barely any content. The only information covered is the fact he was Portuguese footballer, who is now retired, and played for the two clubs Brasov and Anadia. It is not bias in any way, but its length is far to short and does not make use of references well. There is no actual reference list provided. It does follow proper navigational procedures by providing a number of links allowing us to branch out and branch in on the topic. Overall, a poor article.
