Feedback on your article
[edit]Hello James Phantom, Thank you for writing your article in your sandbox! I have read the article and would like to give some feedback to improve your article to Wikipedia standards and customs. While your tutor will judge it content wise, I will look if it meets the quality standards we have on Wikipedia. I standard look for a series of subjects that need improvement or are okay.
- Intro sentence: "is a term" not needed, just say "refers". No need to capitalise the C in "Social Capital".
- Links: Add much more links, like "cultural capital", "economic capital", and others. Please look for keywords in your article and link them to other Wikipedia articles.
- Headers: Please use second degree headers (== ... ==) instead of third degree headers (=== ... ===).
- References: Use much more references: the common practise is to add a reference behind every two or three sentences. I see you use "Valenzuela et al.", but I have based on your article insufficient information to know the title of the work of this author. Please add! Also reform the the references with only an url to one with a title, author, date, publisher, etc. Please add references behind the dot, without a space before the reference. Please add under the header "References" the following: {{Reflist}}
- Other: please more carefully, you forgot a lot of punctuation marks.
- Ready to publish: because your article is about social capital, and the article Social capital already exists in Wikipedia, your article can't be published as we only have one article for a single subject. But I would recommend you to look for parts of your article that you can add to the existing article. This I think can be done near the end of coming session.
I hope you can implement this feedback to your sandbox article before our next meeting. Thanks! Romaine (talk) 15:45, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
- Hi James Phantom, Thank you for your message, I have a look at it now. I just changed a few details, but in general working with references has improved. One reference needs improved: the first one, you only use the title, no author, publisher, date of publishing, etc. Please add those! Romaine (talk) 11:44, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
- Hi James Phantom, Thank you for your message! I do not know when exactly you have to submit it?
- Intro sentence: okay
- Links: okay
- Headers: okay, besides I would suggest to change the header of "Illustration", just sounds strange to me.
- References: In the first section, the second sentence (starting with Social capital is generally used...) I would like to so a reference behind, because "generally" can be a weasel word and tricky to use without reference. But the (p. 51) like additions behind sentences are not suitable for Wikipedia, those info should be in the reference itself.
- I wish you great days ahead! Greetings - Romaine (talk) 13:53, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
