Wikipedia:Peer review/Bill Russell/archive1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, the article about NBA legend Bill Russell is currently a GA, and I would gladly make it into a FA.

  • Does the prose flow nicely?
  • Is it accessible enough for non-experts, without being too verbose for NBA fans? (The problem is, I have no reference. There is currently no FA about a NBA player)
  • How to satisfy criterion 1a the best User:Tony1/How_to_satisfy_Criterion_1a, especially for sports subjects? :)
  • General remarks?

Thanks for reading, Onomatopoeia 11:28, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One note the picture in the infobox is not of a scaled down resolution. If you right click on the picture or the source picture and go to properties you can see both are 275 x 357 pixels. Scale down the picture as I'm sure somebody will mention this during FAC. You can edit it with an external application or save it to your computer then edit it but either way you need to scale down the resolution. Quadzilla99 19:38, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Okay I copyedited it and added a photo with a full fair use rational, he was SI Sportsman of the Year and since it is now mentioned in the article a scaled down pic of the magazine can appear there. Quadzilla99 20:10, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Okay I scaled down the resolution to 80% of source size should be fine. Quadzilla99 07:17, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Made some wkfy edits to Bill Russell, hope those help. Chensiyuan 01:30, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
minor point - rpg, apg etc. should be made clearer in the article? in the sense that an ordinary reader who does not know much about basketball would not know what is rpg, apg, ppg... terms which are used many times in the article. Chensiyuan 01:47, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Okay I wikilinked those the first time they are mentioned. That should solve the problem, if not just comment on what you feel needs to be done. Quadzilla99 09:25, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
russell's feats/achievements may also be over-repeated throughout the article... i remember reading about him winning a record number NBA titles 3-4 times... Chensiyuan 01:57, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
