I've listed this article for peer review because I have updated it with appropriate images, stronger citations, and more thorough content than it had previously and would like to have it reevaluated for higher rating than simply start.

- Thoughts from paul2520
Hi, Hollykatharine! Thanks for your impressive efforts on the article. The pictures definitely enhance the content. A couple areas for improvement (and not necessarily to your edits):
- The Voice should not be linked eight times in the student newspaper section. In fact, I'm not a huge fan of external links directly in the text (especially since they're already in the External links section). Could you convert them to references? A quick glance at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking seems to suggest references are best.
- The image currently captioned "Trey-Anastasio2009 2" should have a better caption.
- I wonder if the MCTV 26 and WWFM sections should be subsections in the Clubs section?
- I made a couple edits to the page myself, including using the
{{quote}}instead of the italicized text in the "Mission" section. Do you think it looks better?
Otherwise, I think the page looks great! = paul2520 (talk) 17:12, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Paul2520! Thanks for the good advice. I removed the excess hyperlinks as you suggested. I think you're right that the "Mission" section looks better as you've formatted it. I also updated the caption for the Trey Anastasio photo. I think the MCTV 26 and WWFM aren't clubs so they are okay as is. I appreciate your help. Hollykatharine (talk) 03:10, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comments from Username6892
A couple of things I found:
- Given the size of the article, the lead is very long. MOS:LEADLENGTH says that articles of about that size should have leads that are about 2 paragraphs and this one is 4 paragraphs. I think paragraphs 2-4 are unnecessarily long for the lead.
- "it is known for strength in soccer, baseball and softball" I don't think that claim can be verified with only one season's statistics cited.
Other than that, this article is in good shape. Username6892 04:06, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
