Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 14:50, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thoughts on your sandbox work

Hi, just replying to the questions you left on Buggie's talk page in case he can't get back to you right away. As for your question about citations, you can find two video tutorials in the resources section of the Wikipedia course page (http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:United_States_Education_Program/Courses/Sport_in_Society_(Shelly_Habel)/Resources); one is called "Basic editing: citing sources," and the other is "Citing sources with the RefToolbar." If those don't help, you're welcome to drop by during office hours (http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:United_States_Education_Program/Courses/Sport_in_Society_(Shelly_Habel), and we can help you out.

Some suggestions I had reading your sandbox work:

You'll notice that the "Personal finances of professional American athletes" article has a flag at the top that says "neutrality of this article is disputed." see you've already added to the talk page of the article-- nice! But this is just to remind you that you're working on a page that already has problems, so you should feel free to improve it wherever relevant, and remember to keep up a good standard of neutrality to avoid adding to the issue!
Great that pretty much every sentence is cited! You can use the links above to figure out how to cite with footnotes.
Where are you planning on putting the basketball addition? Seems like the best place would be under "failures," since the basketball subsection is currently under "successes."

Hope that helps! Sleuthwood (talk) 19:40, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
