Weight training[edit]

This article was in a very poor state, so I have spent the last few days rewriting it, hopefully to a high standard. However, I'm still quite new to Wikepedia, and I'd like to ask for help achieving the preferred style.

My main concerns are regarding levels of generality and detail, and also regarding attribution for issues where there is a difference of opinion. Do I still have to say "Alice says X whereas Bob says Y" if both Alice and Bob are non-notable, or can I just say "some people believe X whereas others believe Y"?

Also, given that this is intended to be an entry-level article, is the writing at a low enough level, or should it be simplified further?

I realise that the article is short on images, and I will be adding photos of most—if not all—of the exercises just as soon as I can get a model, photographer and gym together at a mutually convenient time. Are there any other images that would be useful?

Please let me know what you think. Thanks! GeorgeStepanek\talk 02:06, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

An excellent article, written by someone who obviously has spent a lot of time and effort on it! I'm a bit of an unfit geek (read: slob) but this article is just jam full of useful info. A bit of tightening could be done though... the paragraphs need to be longer and not be one sentence long. If you put it on WP:VP I'd ask around to have the tables converted to wikimarkup. Apart from that, seems pretty good to me! Well done. - Ta bu shi da yu 15:30, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Thank you to everyone who suggested ideas and improvements, and thank you particularly for your postive comments and encouragement. Sorry, I have been so tardy at implementing these improvements. I will get round to it! (My computer access is very limited over Xmas, so I have been taking a bit of a wikivacation.) I'll get back in a week's time or so. Thanks!
