College rowing (United States)[edit]

I wrote the whole article myself and I think it is pretty decent. However I know Rowing isn't a very popular sport in the US, so I am wondering what makes sense and what doesn't. Any way you can help to improve the article would be appreciated. --Alex Krupp 04:31, Nov 26, 2004 (UTC)

  • It's a good start, but there's quite a few things that could do with some work. a) the lead section could be longer, and could summarise the article more - at the moment it just states a few statistics. b) the history section should be in prose, as opposed to a timeline. c) Could the "A Year in Rowing" sections be expanded somewhat? d) the Rowing Conference tables are very large - it might be an idea to give them their own seperate articles, and place a summary of them in this article, per Wikipedia:Summary style. d) the National Championships section could also do with a bit of expansion. e) the sources section should be titled "references", and cited properly (which isn't my forte, so I'm probably not the best person to ask). I hope I'm not too harsh - it's better to get these things early, and with a bit of work, it would make a good featured article. Ambi 03:38, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
These are all good suggestions, and I will start work on them as soon as classes end this friday.
