User:Sphilbrick/sandbox for current bio structure
This table illustrates that the current structure of notable UConn players is highly inconsistent. The left hand column lists the various sections found in the eleven bios. The naming is all over the lot. Not shown is the fact that the order differs from player to player.
I propose that we adopt a more consistent structure. My current proposal would include the rows in green. My suggestion for what to do with the rows in yellow is listed to the right - in some cases, it is as simple as changing the section name, in other cases, it would require moving the material to the more appropriate section.
I don't want to even hint that this is required, for two reasons - this is not a hierarchical place, and I no more have the right to impose a structure than anyone else, however, I think readers would find it helpful if the general structure of a bio were the same from player to player. Second, there may be unusual situations with any person, for example, Rebecca Lobo broadcasting career does fit neatly into the basketball sections, so sensible structure should trump canonical structure whenever appropriate.
I'd love some feedback, so we could agree as a community how to organize a bio, then future bios could start with an established structure, and over time, we could rewrite the others to match the standard form.
