Peer Review[edit]

The topic was a good choice. In the second paragraph of the coaching career, it was a little hard to follow will all of those years. Maybe add more words of what is going on with those years to make it flow better. Goldenquaffle567 (talk) 13:30, 31 March 2016 (UTC) Peer review: The first thing I would recommend is to add one of the information box that has the key information on Francis Allen. Things such as hometown, birthday, etc. Also clarify "He was an all-around finalist from 1692–1964" what was he a finalist in? what does it mean to be a finalist? Things of that nature. Otherwise you could expand on what Francis Allen competed in while he was school. Lastly I recommend just listing his honors instead of making it a small paragraph that jumps all over the place. Great choice on the person and there is a lot of really good facts all throughout the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kretscht (talk • contribs) 20:59, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review[edit]

Your choice of topic is notable and interesting. You may want to add a photo with their birthplace, birth date, hometown etc. Also, consider listing honors to avoid short, choppy sentences. Dmartinez17 (talk) 15:28, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, random editor who stumbled on the article. The author can add the box using {{infobox person}}, but please be very mindful of inserting unsourced or poorly sourced information to the boxes, especially since this is a biography of a living person. Infoboxes are not required by any policy and it is up to the discretion of editors whether they should be used on an article. As for the picture, our non-free content guideline prohibits fair use of images for living people since it is reasonable to get a freely-licensed image instead. That means if you do find an image you want to use, you have to contact the photographer to ask them to license the image appropriately (under a creative commons license allowing modifications and commercial use for example) or you would have to take an photo yourself and upload it with an appropriate license. Hope that helps, let me know if any help or clarification is needed. Opencooper (talk) 03:48, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
