From Dr. Hildebrandt: This looks great, Luke! Keep up with it.

For my topic, I chose the 4x800 meter relay. Four × 800 meters relay#Men. I have chosen this topic because that is what I run in track, and I love hearing about this specific race. I can tell it is a stub because it says so at the bottom and has very little writing other than the list it presents. This page could easily be added to another page with a similar subject. This stub is a stub for a reason. It does not give any background to the list that is provided. The wiki stub could have descriptions of each record, such as where it was won, more about each of the runners, and the history of the world record of the 4x800 meter relay. There is very little information about the actual race. This could be expanded open by adding many more details. They pass a baton to each other after two laps for a total of 8 laps, which is about 2 miles. The writers could also add that the rules for footwear have changed drastically, the history behind that, and the effect it had on the race. Altogether, a lot of context and history of the 4x800 meter relay could be added to this stub to make it more complete. All of the two references are still in operation, which include,Track relay racesTrack and field athletics stubs. Both of these are relevant to the topic and do support the list. This stub compared to other related issues, lacks background. It is simply a list and ends with that. It is like a single section of a more extensive article.

Combat lifesaver course

There are no guides on this topic in Love Joy Library. There are a few available, trustworthy sources on google scholar. Only a couple stick out, which are strictly about the course as a whole. This stub could use a lot of context as to what combat medics do and quite a bit more of what the course has to offer. Similar Pages on this topic have far more history of the course and more specific details about the occupation itself. There could be details added such as where the course is, how long it is, and different exams and obstacles that need to be overcome to complete the course.

The 16-week program, located at fort sam Houston, texas, consists of classroom lectures, blended online learning, team-building exercises, hands-on demonstrations, and extensive psychomotor skills testing. Practical exercises and written examinations are used to assess the accumulation and retention of knowledge and skills. Skills include setting up an IV, cricothyrotomy, junctional dressings, and tourniquets.

I added what is above to the combat lifesaver course stub at the end of the second section These were the most reliable sources I could find as they are military-run websites.
