Comments

Overall, the article is definitely making solid progress. There are a couple of suggestions you may take into consideration: When formatting the section under your headers, your section summaries are slightly sparse and could use evidence to justify the claims. For sourcing regarding dates and numerical values, you would benefit from an in text citation. The article reads well and speaks to a wide audience. Ensquared (talk) 04:48, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Further possible improvements

I think you have a very good starting contribution for your article, though more could be added to all of them, especially the ecological effects section. The claims are generally well sourced, but there are still a few claims in the article that I think would benefit from further citation. A relatively neutral point of view throughout the article was maintained. Overall the grammar and organization looks pretty good, however there are a few parts that would add to the flow of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lnicholson14 (talk • contribs) 02:04, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

The article seemed to be very comprehensive and easy to read; however, I would suggest going into further discussion about the Geneva Protocol, the lawsuits, and the government responses. In this, I think it would be beneficial to discuss what parts of the Geneva Protocol were in question and what was being used both in support and against the lawsuit. In response to citations, it would be beneficial to pick one way of formatting the in line citations and sticking with it throughout the article. I would also suggest proofreading the article mainly for violations of NPOV. The work was mostly free from any violations but there were a small number of instances where bias or personal voice could be seen. Overall, great work so far!Jmarrs94 (talk) 03:45, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello! Upon reviewing, I find that this article is very organized and well maintained. However, I could not find any blue links or images, which greatly enhance the reader's perception of the article. I would suggest including blue links for key topics like "Agent Orange" and " U.S. Environmental Protection". Possibly consider dividing the sections into even smaller subsections, to enhance readability (this is my opinion). Also, some sentences seem to have slight bias to them, or at least some bold claims, so consider reviewing those. This is very great and thorough so far! Keep it up.

A few comments

You've added a lot of content to the article and made great progress. Just a few suggestions -

- the impact of agent orange could be illustrated much more effectively through the inclusion of a few photographs, perhaps one in each section showing deforestation, health effects, etc.

- try to just use wikipedia citation formatting throughout, there's no need for parenthetical citations

- try to fill out each of your sub sections a little more thoroughly

- it might be worth reorganizing/rewording your introduction to reflect the organization of the article overall

Please let me know if you have any questions or if you'd like any help with anything. GavinCross (talk) 22:21, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Note from a cautious reader

Agent orange is not a dioxin. It is a mixture of two herbicides. The dioxin found in agent orange is a byproduct of the chemical synthesis and is only present in trace amounts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Likmevestje (talk • contribs) 17:17, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
