Forest
[edit]Hey Benny. It's kind of tricky to talk grades without a more complete article, but you've made a good start of organizing here. In your finished article, you'll want to mention why this topic is notable, and include reliable secondary sources to support your statements. I would probably take out the vision statement at the beginning. "Points of interest" is a bit vague, you'll want to focus that a bit. I'm also unsure why you would need a separate section for "Maps" - do you maybe mean something like "Geography"? Nikkimaria (talk) 17:21, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
Clemson Experimental Forest
[edit]You've made a good start to the article. First of all, I would suggest added some additional sections to the article as you already have with the geography section. For an article on an experimental forest these are some of the topics I would expect to see:
- History
- Geography/geology - where is it located, soils, topography, etc
- Ecology - animals, plants, forest types, aquatic ecosystems, etc
- Research - what sort of research has been conducted there, anything particularly notable?
- Recreation - if applicable, are the any opportunities for public recreation
- Reference - you already have this, just make its own section
To improve the article in other ways:
- Make sure to read the pages listed under Welcome! above
- Add links within the article to specific subjects of interest with double brackets
- It is good to see that you are using reference templates
- Use Template:Convert for numbers such as tree heights and acreages
- Add links to this article from other relevant ones
- Expand the lead section as you expand the article
