[edit]Hello Wikifanman37,
First, welcome to Wikipedia! Second, as above, I reviewed and accepted your article @Brad Craddock. However, I did have to make a number of edits to make it "encyclopedic". Basically, take a read of this page: It's a list of words to watch when you're writing articles. You're articles should contain facts, not puffery :) Basically, you should remain neutral in your writing of articles (even though I could sense your enthusiasm about the topic!). However, you've found a part of Wikipedia that you actually like. Good! You should work on that part of the encyclopaedia! You seem to have a good understanding of what reliable sources are (I didn't have to replace any of the sources :D) You have a clue. That's awesome. Don't let the previous decline hurt you in any way. Your article was good. But please remember this: Articles must be neutral and present facts that are reliably sourced! (but not boring; you should be able to find a spark in the articles you're writing. Not all facts are boring :D) Once again, I've made several edits to improve it so it should be okay :)
Furthermore, I've nominated it to be on the Main Page under the Did you know? section. Wikipedia's Main Page is visited by hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people on a daily basis. Those people will have your work smack in their faces! If you want to join the discussion: here's the page!
Once again, you seem like you've grasped the basics but please remember that articles must be neutral, but written well. Facts don't have do be boring if you add your spark to the mix. Be bold and make mistakes. That's the only way you could learn. Don't be afraid of making mistakes (But don't take that sentiment to far either). You should go create another article if you want to :) (here is a good place to start) All the best, and, once again, Welcome to Wikipedia!

DYK for Brad Craddock
[edit] | On 4 February 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Brad Craddock, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that football player Brad Craddock of the Maryland Terrapins was tutored by NFL Pro Bowler Matt Stover? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Brad Craddock. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |
