Ray Charles page
[edit]Hi. Thanks for asking for my input. I took a look at the Ray Charles page and it's talk page and saw your proposal. To be honest when I first saw your message I thought "oh crap" because I've seen some really awful work done in the past by university class projects. But the work you've done so far looks outstanding, really a model of how to do things. Let me know if there were any specific questions or sections you wanted more feedback on but definitely looks good so far. --MadScientistX11 (talk) 17:08, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks so much for the kind words! We did some work today adding information to the career section and the early life section. We also restructured the headings a little bit, but then received some negative feedback about that on the Ray Charles talk page. Any suggestions? Skylerd23 (talk) 22:20, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, I don't have much time to take a deep look at what you are doing right now and from what I've seen your work requires a deeper look for feedback because you've got the basics all correct so no errors that just jump out. Also, although I've edited some music pages, they were on fairly specific topics (e.g. Chicago Blues or Rory Gallagher) that are passions of mind and that aren't very well known. Most of my serious editing, the kind where I could give better feedback on a detailed article like Ray Charles are on topics from comptuer science and artificial intelligence. BTW, have you tried posting on the Teahouse: Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions? You can follow that link and post a query similar to the one you left on my talk page. The Teahouse is meant specifically for those kinds of general feedback queries. You have a much better chance to get feedback from people with a lot more experience and also perhaps some people who know Ray's music and life better than I do. If you haven't posted there I would recommend that you do. People are very helpful and especially helpful to groups of students. --MadScientistX11 (talk) 17:12, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
- No problem! Thank you so much for the suggestion Skylerd23 (talk) 05:05, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
- It's me again. Noticed you didn't get a response at the teahouse. :( But there was a similar question asked just now and someone posted the following link which I didn't know about and which might be of interest to you: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Ambassadors Just FYI. Cheers. --MadScientistX11 (talk) 20:51, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
