Review of Android Developer Day

The first issue that catches my attention is the name of the Wikipedia article; the name of the article is Android Developer Day but the event is Android Developers Days. This is just a minor change that can clarify to viewers if this event is multiple days or just a one day event. With regards to Wikipedia's policy on a neutral point of view, the editor uses the term yours but should change this to third-person using the terms his or her instead of yours.I like how the editors separated each Convention and gave details about that specific event. In addition, the added hyperlinks and sources added to the article came from credible sources. The last issue I want to address is about the participants category. I believe viewers can become confused because the list provided is for only the featured speakers at the 2014 ADD convention. Unless Wikipedia editors are going to update this category yearly, editors should take caution in providing information that needs to be constantly updated. Instead of listing featured speakers, a possible solution could be to name and give details about important founders of ADD. This would contribute to the History of ADD and eliminate the issue of having to update the article quarterly or yearly. Ethanforman (talk) 18:55, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So to start off, pretty well done article! The coverage of the conferences was comprehensive and specific,and I really understand what they are by the end of reading it. There are some small concerns, though. There is ambiguity about what the article is-- android developer "day" or "days". This should probably be clarified. Moreover, refrain from using wording like "this year" which really loses value when the article spans for more than one year. Also, making 2014 convention it's own section breaks the consistency of the article. even if teh convention warrants a greater significance, it should still be with the other sections otherwise it confuses the reader. Also, makign the 2014 section larger than the 2012 and 2013 section leads the reader to think that this conference is considerably more important than the other sections which either isn't true or is not really made clear in the description.

The Android Developer Day article was both concise and easy to read. The information presented was laid out well and proper use of headings and sub headings made the article easy to "jump read" and get the important information quickly. Things that you did particularly well:

Concise wording
Use of many external sources
Large amounts of internal linking
Well documented

As well, there were a number of things that I noticed that could be improved:

Listing of "this year" or "soon" makes maintenance of the page difficult as time, itself, progresses
Defining Synergy and its role seems out of place
"As mentioned above" reference break with edits over time
Listing of various topics for 2014 conference is too verbose
Three-deep headings not needed with 2.2.1 Sub Events

Overall, The article was well put together and worked well with the topic. Your list of references was inclusive and well cited and the links provided on the page made for easy navigation if the user wanted more information. Good job all. Kurjagger (talk) 14:22, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent work on this article. I felt that overall the structure was very well thought-out and easy to follow. I think the most important parts of the article were the summaries of past conventions. These gave me a significantly better idea of what android developer days are. This may also be an area of concern as the introduction still left me wondering what exactly the event included. The only serious problem I can see is as mentioned above the issue with using "this year" and "soon" as these words will eventually lose thier credibility and accuracy. ~~User: Nickmich1695|Nick Michetti~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nickmich1695 (talk • contribs) 16:11, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
