Questions and comments for student editors

Hi there educational editors. Can I ask what the assignment is about? The article seems not to have any independent reliable sources, see WP:RS ~~ Sintaku ^Talk 00:54, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also is the article supposed to be about Cherry Hill or the Plantations? ~~ Sintaku ^Talk 01:11, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there Sintaku, sorry for the super late response. The assignment is just to create an Wikipedia page. We had to find a topic that was not already on Wikipedia, then create it. Outside help is greatly encourage. We have to do some modification on the name. Cherry Hill is a old plantation that is located in Warren County, NC. Any knowledge for help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. User talk:jdricha3 — Preceding undated comment added 20:45, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In-class peer review

More sources and maybe a "current" section for what the plantation is currently used for. Location perhaps shouldn't be its own section. Why is it called Cherry Hill? The citation in the history section isnt in the correct format. --state549 16:52, 7 March 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by State549 (talk • contribs)

First draft feedback for COM 257 students

This feedback concerns the article generally, but is intended in particular for students in COM 257 at NCSU during the spring 2014 semester. It is based on this version from 7 March 2014. The problems and suggestions below will cover many aspects of the page including but not limited to writing quality, spelling and grammar, tone, number and quality of sources, extent of source use or misuse, citation style, formatting, layout, wikimarkup errors, stylistic issues, media use, and organization. Some will be straightforward while others will be more general or may require you to do some research into Wikipedia policies and guidelines for content, layout, sourcing, etc. Technical help for Wikipedia is easy to find here and all over the web. If all else fails, just Google your question and you'll almost certainly find answers. If you search and still have trouble (once you search), email me. Several of the items below point to specific examples, but should be generalized throughout the article.

Lead

"Cherry Hill is in Warren County, North Carolina" -- this doesn't need to be its own paragraph. Combine it with what follows it.
connection → connections?
current lead needs rewording to read more smoothly.
The lead is supposed to summarize the rest of the article. There shouldn't be anything that's in the lead and nowhere else.

History section

fix the citation that currently appears as a bare URL

Concert theatre section

lowercase t in the section heading if it's not a proper noun
was known for concerts or still is?
what is "(cite)" referring to? placeholder to add one?

Location

no need for this to be a separate section. fold in with one of the others

External links

lowercase l in the section heading
one of the external links is to a wiki, which isn't a reliable source
one of the external links isn't formatted properly so is showing up as [1]

Media use

None so far. What's your plan to get pictures?

General

Generally speaking, you're falling way behind here and with no edits since March 7 and nobody saying anything in class I'm not getting the sense anybody appreciates or cares just how much work there is to be done.
There are no wikilinks. Turn key words into links to other wiki pages.
There are almost no references.
Text needs substantial expansion.
There are more categories you could add the page to. Look around for similar topics to see what they're categorized as. --Ryan McGrady (talk) 04:29, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
