Tatnall Square Academy has been around in Macon, GA for over 50 years. This private school institution provides students with knowledge so that they can be prepared for the real world. It received recognition six times by the local telegraph for having a well-rounded staff and the most successful summer camp. Tatnall Square has a graduation rate and college acceptance rate of 100%. After graduation students matriculate at some of the most "prestigious colleges". The students are afforded the opportunity to get a jump start into college courses. The Academy offers 18 dual enrollment credit hours through local colleges in Macon, Georgia.

Interesting information. I did not know this.@Tionnetakala: --AmaniSensei (talk) 16:10, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
This is something I did not know about Tatnall Square Academy, I thought it was just a regular private school but it is good to know that they prepare great students Ysabella Escalona (talk) 01:04, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
@Tionnetakala: Is this your article evaluation post? If so, you need to evaluate the article; this is a summary. Please use Wikipedia links (like Tattnall Square Academy) in your sentences, rather than as external references. Be sure you're logged in to Wikipedia if you want credit for completing the assignments. You should not use the single =Header= (see MOS:HEAD); I fixed this for you here. You write well, but I'd recommend you clean up your page here and concentrate on making your wiki formatting consistent and pleasing. (For example, why do you need to repeat the title of this section? You heading already does this for you.) Keep at it! —Grlucas (talk) 20:39, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Okay, So basically focus on the effective and ineffective, rather than a summary? Can I edit this journal again. Tionnetakala (talk) 22:27, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

@Grlucas:, here is my copy-edit an article assignment.

Copyedit an article

Tattnall Square Academy article employs some important information; however, the article lacks major detailing about this school system. The history section gives minor detailing in regards to the educational systems facility. This Wikipedia article provides updates only up until to 2018.

Important information that this article lack includes that 90% of students qualify for Hope, over 2 million dollars in scholarships are awarded and the 10,000 hours of community service students partake in to give back to their community. It also does not mention that Tattnall's math team placed first in the Georgia State competition. Based on the school's web page, Tattnall is the only school in Macon to qualify for this competition.


Contrarily, the website does share the graduation and college acceptance rate of 100%. They also state that, after graduation students matriculate to some of the most "prestigious colleges" in the country such as; Duke, Vanderbilt, and schools like Baylor. The students are afforded the opportunity to get a jump start into college courses. The Academy offers 18 dual enrollment credit hours through local colleges in Macon, Georgia. The article lists the exact colleges that accept the dual enrollment credit hours.


Despite aforementioned educational information listed, the academic section is still inadequate due to the articles outdated nature. I wouldn't consider this article neutral, because it only views this school system through a positive lens. The article only applauds the school system for it's achievements; however, the publisher does not include the hardships faced. For Instance, the only information mentioned happens to be the wins that the Boys baseball team upholds. It say nothing about other sports; Such as, Football, cheerleading, basketball, swimming, tennis, or even track and field and their losses against other teams.

Additionally, another missing component is the amazing staff that guides the students in their paths to success.Something historical about the staff is that the Head baseball and Softball coaches has been working there since 1999. Their hard work was dedicated towards the 407 wins added to the school's record.

The Wikipedia article on this academy demonstrates that there is room for growth and updates. An active entry for this school should be monthly.

Article Selection

edit

Option 1: Macon Centreplex

References cited on the Macon Centreplex are poor and invalid. For example, the first reference appears to be a broken web page. To improve this article, I will use more reliable sources that have valid information. Such as, information from the "about us" section on the Centreplex's web page to improve the content.

Macon Centreplex does not indicate the recent update to the facility back in 2015. Also, Contact information is missing the web page also. The web page lists over 20 famous people including Elvis Presely that has performed here. Some important people that are not listed are: The Jacksons, Billy Joel, Reba McEntire, and Little Richard. There is also a "In Fiction" tab that lacks information, it is not relevant.

https://www.maconcentreplex.org/

Option 2: Sidney Lanier College

Sidney Lanier College is a representation of a neutral article; however, it does lack a handful of important information. Not only that, but it is missing supporting evidence and reliable sources. Information in regards to chronology is not evident in the text. His educational experiences are not included. Scholarly sources on Galileo indicate all of the missing components. The article shares a lot about the founder but does not share a lot of information on the facility itself.

Tionnetakala (talk) 04:26, 15 June 2019 (UTC)


Option 3: Amerson River Park There is no article on this historical park. In order to create a successful article, I will employ all valid and important information to create a neutral, yet appropriate article.

Other Contributing articles-- Parish on Cherry Today,I started working a new server job downtown Macon, Ga. I saw that there was not a Wikipedia on the diner, possibly because it's only been there for 3 years. In addition to editing Taliaferro County Courthouse, I would like to begin a original article on Parish. It was established on June 8, 2015 by friends: Chrissy Eisney and Vincent Kelly. Parish on Cherry sets the live music platform Downtown Macon, Ga before any other restaurant. Both friends worked together in Florida at their local Chili's before their ideas began to arise. The idea came from t The local baseball team in Macon is named after a menu item from Parish referred to as "Macon Bacon". Another interesting fact is that on February 18th, 1928 a plane crashed right in front of the exact building that parish stands in today. A plane propeller still exists buried underneath the ground.
