Talk:Envirothon

message: I'm going to be overhauling the entire page over the next few weeks, hopefully, because this is a rather sad-looking article. Anyone (haha, like there's anyone here) object? Envirothon is too awesome for this participant to let the page sit like this. --PrescitedEntity (talk) 18:17, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Sources To Be Used

message: Hi SalaRollins, you've written a very informative, well researched, and easy to read article. Upon reviewing the article history, I noticed that you've made some serious edits to the article and have added the new sections "competition topics" and "results". Your new edits have helped to make this a more well-rounded and informative article. Your sources are reputable and clearly cited, helping to make your article a more reliable source of information. I like how you have included a list of competition topics at the bottom of your article-it really gives the reader an even larger sense of what goes on at the envirothon. I have a few suggestions on how you could improve your article:
·Perhaps under the "external links" section you could include a link to a video from youtube or another video site, showing the envirothon in action.
·Awkward sentence structure, "Currently, forty-four U.S. states and nine Canadian provinces for a collective of over 500,000 students participate in the competition." Reword something like this: "Currently, 500,000 students from forty-four U.S. states and nine Canadian provinces participate in the competition." Also I the "but also includes" in this sentence seems out of place: "Competition participants are generally composed of teams sponsored by school clubs or classes, but also includes teams sponsored by 4H and other such non-scholastic organizations, home-schoolers can also take part as their own team."
Other than those two suggestions, I believe that you have a very strong and well-organized article, great job!

thread_title: Peer Review

message: Hello SalaRollins,
I feel you have greatly contributed to the Wiki-World and have created a very informative, concise, and practical article for others to benefit from. In being the second person to peer-review this article I did not notice any grammatical errors or punctuation issues. However, in regards to formatting, I do think that breaking the "Competition Topics" material into subheadings and then bulleted information would allow it to be more clear and easy to read. As we discussed, I feel that the "History" section is in an appropriate place in the article as I find it to be 'extra information' for the reader. 
In regards to linking other Wikipedia articles, I found that you included a sufficient amount of links to ensure the reader can be informed on other topics that aren't explained or needed in your article. I did however link 'morphology' to another Wikipedia article for you. Just in case.
 
All in all, great work SalaRollins and I agree with the above statement that a video could be added to external links of the Envirothon in action. It could add a more contemporary and visual aspect to this already great article.
P.S. I love the table you made. Very informative.
