Article Evaluation

The article I am critiquing is the springboard page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springboard. It seems to be fairly recent and unbiased. However not all of the information on the page is necessarily correct or relevant. The section I found most troubling was about adjusting the fulcrum. It talked about "tightening" the spring of the board by moving the fulcrum and explained why turning counterclockwise "tightened" it versus the normal clockwise rotations. This just isn't applicable because the fulcrum isn't attached to the actual springboard so there is no tightening or loosening of any spring. It just adjusts the place where the springboard will land on the fulcrum.Maggie.pionzio (talk) 05:10, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
