Suitability as a class project[change source]

This page was maybe not a great choice for a class project. It was in a good state, written by an experienced editor. The chance of it being improved by a new editor was slim. Changes to a stable and established page must be improvements. In the end, a great deal of poorly written material was imported from a doubtful website. Much of it was POV journalese, and has now been cut out. I suppose my advice for newcomers to wikipedia would be: choose a topic you already know quite a lot about, and one which does not have a substantial article. Then choose a printed biography or textbook on the subject for independent support. Don't trust web sources unless they are obviously reliable. You will still find it difficult to write good, clear English. Macdonald-ross (talk) 10:28, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
