Bill Cosby[edit]

Good start with this. A few things, however:
  • Eliminate year linking (only link years that are part of a complete date).
  • Get more critical opinion for Cosby's work, and cite the sources. "The Cosby Show" subsection quotes two magazines but fails to properly cite either one.
  • A fair number of statements that should be supported by a citation: "The Cosby Show was unprecedented in its portrayal of an intelligent, affluent, nonstereotypical African American family", etc.
  • The political views section needs to be turned into prose, and the controversy section does as well. Eliminate "Honors" and incorporate the most important ones into the biography section.
  • Move Cosby's work out of Biography and into a separate level 2 section, and put "Personal life" in the biography section as a level 3 subsection.
  • The Pound Cake Speech gets too much attention here; summarize it and incorporate other speeches by Cosby
  • Eliminate "Cosby and jazz"; stick the information somewhere else if it's that important.

In response to Spangineer's point about dates: This task is easier with the aid of a 'dates' tab in edit mode. Simply copy the entire contents of User:Bobblewik/monobook.js to your own monobook. Then follow the instructions in your monobook to clear the cache (i.e. press Ctrl-Shift-R in Firefox, or Ctrl-F5 in IE) before it will work. You will also get a 'units' tab. Hope that helps. bobblewik 10:06, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
