Santa Claus
I think this article is good, but could be better. Any comments are appreciated. If this could be on the Main Page it would be good! -- TheM62Manchester 21:26, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- I feel that this still needs a lot of work. Two concerns right off the bat:
- Wikipedia:Summary style -> The three subarticles ( origins, rituals and film) do deserve to be split from the main article, but there should still be a summary of the contents of each page in the main Santa Claus article. The standard Template:Main should be used rather than "See this page", as well.
- One-sentence paragraphs and supershort sections, such as Santa Claus reindeers' name should be avoided through expansion or merging with other sections. -- Amuck 21:52, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- Automated suggestions are provided here, that you may wish to refer for some useful style guidelines. - Mailer Dia b lo 17:23, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
- Long way to go. Some sections are just 'see also', they need content. External links in text, no inline citations - this needs to be reversed :) Plus, add more pics.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 19:22, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Some notes:
- Although this is repeating the above, it makes no sense to me to have a section heading for a section that only contains a link to another page, and it's becoming one of my pet peaves. :-) The reader shouldn't have to go to another page just to get information those topics. They should be summarized with a paragraph or two, and then if the readers wants to learn more they can click on a {{ main}} article link.
- I'd like to see some coverage of the supposed connection between the story of flying reindeers and the northern European shamanic ritual of eating red and white amanita muscaria mushroom. [1] Apparently these mushrooms are a favorite treat for reindeer.
