Talk:Indiana Hoosiers baseball

Copyediting Suggestions

Editing the opening paragraph

The opening paragraph should have more content. The opening paragraph should mention that the team plays its games at Bart Kaufman Field, which opened in 2013, and used to play their games at Sembower Field. Anthonyadragna (talk) 18:41, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

The content should also have something that grabs readers attention and want to learn more about IU baseball. There should be a list of accomplishments and key players in the opening paragraph to ensure it grabs readers attention and interest. JwhittHoosierFan (talk) 00:35, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Editing the History section

The history section also should have more content. There is currently only one sentence in the section, and it only mentions that the team went to the 2013 College World Series. The history section should also mention when the team won their conference regular season and tournament championships. It should also mention the past coaches the team has had, and notable successes or failures the team has had in prior years. For example, the team won the Big Ten Tournament Championship in 2009 and went to the NCAA tournament. It could also mention that the team went to the Big Ten Tournament Championship in 2012, but was beaten by Purdue. Therefore, the team was favored to win the Big Ten in 2013 because Purdue graduated a lot of players, and almost everybody on IU was returning.

Adding sections such as rivals the team has, average ticket price to watch a game live, links to watch the games online with a live stream, and how many students are recruited each year to join the team would be content that would make this page more interesting.

You might want to look at the guidelines laid out at WP:SOAP and WP:NPOV to get a better sense of the encyclopedia, but I like many of your ideas for content to include. Thanks for your interest. Kithira (talk) 01:23, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Editing the Year-by-Year Results section

The year-by-year results section can be updated easily. The team’s year-by-year results can be found at iuhoosiers.com. Jenniferwhittenburg (talk) 18:44, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Adding a Notable Players section

There should also be a “notable players” section for players that played at Indiana and have enjoyed successful careers in the minor and major leagues. Jenniferwhittenburg (talk) 18:44, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

I'll be happy to do some work on it, but anyone can edit! Cheers, Kithira (talk) 19:17, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
