Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Peer review/Emmett Watson
I am hoping to get meaningful feedback on this article. It's the first biographical article I've written for wikipedia.
- The article needs better citing. Try to have at least one citation for each paragraph.
- For your citations based on online sources, use Template:cite web or Template:cite news.
- Do not wikilink single years. Only date-month-year.
- Inline citations go straight after the punctuation mark; not before.
- "Personal life" is stubby. If you cannot expand it, merge it with "Early life".
- "Within days he was offered a job back at the Seattle Times." Avoid stubby paragraphs like this one. Merge or expand.
- "At the Seattle Times Watson continued to write his column in the style that had made him Seattle's best known newspaper columnist." This should definitely be cited.
- "Accomplishments" and "Death" are also stubby. I think the last one should be merged. Could you enrich "Accomplisments"? You could also possibly merge it with "Awards".
- "See also" goes before "Notes". You could try to incorporate its links within the text and get rid of it.
- Are your "References" used in citations? If not, they are "further reading".--Yannismarou 14:56, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
