[edit] Robert McGill Loughridge

I've been working on this article for a while now and I would like to make this a Featured Article. I think it's close to being a FA candidate, but I'd like to get someone else's point of view on how to make it better. Thanks Alot,--Cal (talk) 08:13, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Inconsistent wikilinking of years. In general: We do not link single years; only full dates. Check WP:MoS. -I removed all wiki-links to single years.--CPacker (talk) 23:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
  • "Loughridge professed his religious faith with he was twenty-two". "With" or "when"? -Fixed the spelling and changed it to "when".--CPacker (talk) 23:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
  • "the building was admirably arranged, for a boarding school for both boys and girls". "Admirably" according to which source? -Fixed quotation and citied the quote.--CPacker (talk) 23:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Stylistic and maybe subjective: The first paragraph of "Tullahassee Mission" looks huge to me and not well-balanced with the other two of the section. Maybe you could divide it. -Divided the first large paragrahp into two smaller ones.--CPacker (talk) 23:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
  • "The Tullahassee Mission continued to grow and do a job in educating the children of the Creek Nation until July 10, 1861, when it was suddenly closed." Why? Any explanation? -Gave reason and explanded why.--CPacker (talk) 23:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
  • "A large and magnificent brick building". Again, avoid such strong expressions like "magnificent", and in case you insist on using them, cite them. -reworded the sentence.--CPacker (talk) 23:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
  • "Even through all of the good and bad times, ..." I don't like this kind of expressions. This is an encyclopedic article; not a fairy tale. -I agree, reworeded the sentence to be more like an encyclopedia article.--CPacker (talk) 23:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
  • The article relies most on one source, which is, by the way, an autobiography and not a secondary source: Loughridge R.M. "Autobiographical Sketch" (1891) (for which by the way I don't see full data neither pages). Try to vary a bit more your sources if possible! I know it is tough but it would help.--Yannismarou (talk) 18:13, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
