Welcome!

Greetings Lalevi and welcome (again!) to both Wikipedia and to COM482! I think Seahawks Dancers is a good choice for an article. Although I know it's a stub, the article is rather advanced compared to other stubs. As a result, you might need to dig a bit deeper to make significant improvements.

I see you've started that and added a little text and that you've added a new paragraph on the Junior Seahawks Dancers. That's good but I'd also urge you to try to correct the other issues that are listed in the big warnigns at the top of the page. Adding citations for facts that are already in the article is one thing you can do. Establishing notability as per the policies linked it at that page is also good.

In general, it's a good idea to look at the talk page of the article for related WikiProjects or perhaps just for other dance teams. If you can find excellent articles on similar topics, it might point you at models and examples of how to improve the article. I'm looking forward to seeing things developed. Good luck! —mako๛ 21:46, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

Peer Review

Hi Alia! I chose to peer review your article, because I really enjoy the topic. I chose to use the template and created a subpage you can use. Nice work! Ems1960 (talk) 01:41, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Peer Review

Hello Alia! I peer reviewed your article on Seahawks Dancers, you did a really great job! As a dancer myself I feel like it captured many important details about what it means to be on the level of an NFL dancer.

Feedback on your draft

Greetings Lalevi!

In general, I think your rework of User:Lalevi/Seahawks Dancers is off to a good start. I had a few reactions:

• I think the section on 2020-2021 might be something you want to reconsider. There's a WP policy called WP:NOTNEWS. My sense is that it's pretty weird to have up-to-date information about just one year.
• The list of sponsors also felt strange.
• I looked at a bunch of other NFL Cheerleaders articles. It seems that one common feature is a "History" section. That feels like something I would expect. Maybe you can merge some of your new content into that? And supplement it.
• The article was tagged as potentially non-notable. I think if you dig up some more articles in the Seattle Times or other papers that discuss the dance team as the primary subject (recently on in the past) you will able to put that bit to rest! You can reach out to the UW libraries for help if you want.

Once you've done a final pass to clean up some of this stuff, please go ahead and move your changes over into the live version. I think with another pass, you'll be in really great shape! —mako๛ 18:16, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
