Women's basketball came into play when it was considered more "acceptable" for women to play. There have been many changes throughout the years of how basketball is played, and even still the rules are changing. Women's basketball is very similar to men's basketball, but there are a few differences like size of the ball, and rules. Both men and women's basketball are played in the Olympics and are very popular. ]]> 2018-10-24 20:19:15 UTC https://padlet.com/esickler/1og1aezn82eo/wish/296677128 esickler https://padlet.com/esickler/1og1aezn82eo/wish/296682935 My article is about Women's Basketball. The reason I chose this is because of my enjoyment for basketball as well as my background. I have been playing basketball since I was about 7 in different leagues, competitions, also throughout high school. ]]> 2018-10-24 20:34:36 UTC https://padlet.com/esickler/1og1aezn82eo/wish/296682935 esickler https://padlet.com/esickler/1og1aezn82eo/wish/297798195

In this article, the very first thing I noticed was the bad quality. A banner at the top states that the "lead section may need to be rewritten". This comment also states that this is not in Wikipedia's preferred layout, indicating that there is error here. 

A second thing that I immediately noticed that the page set up was a little off. There was this huge gap of blank space before going onto the next section, which shows the article was disorganized. 

There was wrong information when referring to women's basketball as "netball" because now these are two different sports. 

There were some biased opinions that were not sourced.

• Although there were a many bad qualities, there were also many good qualities as well. Most importantly is the information being given to the reader. Many of the sources were right from NCAA.com, ESPN.com, and the WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) website.
• The article was unorganized, however there was lots of good information and pretty well balanced, there did not seem like too much information, or too little information.

There may be things on Wikipedia articles that may in fact be true, however there are also things that are not sourced well, very unorganized, and false. ]]> 2018-10-28 20:49:04 UTC https://padlet.com/esickler/1og1aezn82eo/wish/297804490
