[edit] Awarding Body?
Does anyone know who is the current awarding body for the Silver Fish? This information needs to be added to the article. Kingbird 14:49, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Recipients of the Silver Fish
This is an interesting article, but I find it quite distracting (and redundant) to have each name of the recipients referenced. I would remove the tags from the names, and instead put the sources in the reference section.--Bookandcoffee 19:47, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for making a suggestion for improvement. I'm afraid I personally disagree that the footnotes on the list of recipients should be removed and the references only given at the end of the article. Many of the people on the list are not famous, even within the Guiding and Scouting movements, despite their work, and finding information about them is difficult.
- In a similar vein, I do think that it is unfortunate that there are three consecutive sentences with footnotes in the "History" section. I think those footnotes need to be there at the moment as they provide sources for potentially conflicting information. They don't improve the readability of the article though. I hope that when the article is expanded in the future, these footnotes will either be rendered superfluous or become more widely spaced in the text. Kingbird 17:34, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Recommendations from the peerreviewer script
The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
- Consider adding more links to the article; per WP:MOS-L and WP:BTW, create links to relevant articles.
- Per WP:MOS#Headings, headings generally should not repeat the title of the article. For example, if the article was Ferdinand Magellan, instead of using the heading ==Magellan's journey==, use ==Journey==.
- This article is a bit too short, and therefore may not be as comprehensive as WP:WIAFA critera 2(b) is looking for. Please see if anything can be expanded upon.
- Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that the it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 2a. [1]
