SO100: Instructor Comments

Really great start on this assignment. I have some feedback that will hopefully help as you progress. I really hope you add this to Real Wikipedia, by the way. I think it's a great addition.

Your reference list looks good to me. You'll definitely want to check it against the reference list on the existing article for overlap, and make sure to try to format some of them manually so they look a little cleaner.
It looks to me like you have enough original research and info to add, now it's more a question of condensing it, writing it in your words, citing each statement you make and connecting it clearly to the individual source, and obviously making sure the writing is clear. It seems like you've already begun to do this, though, in your 164 word section. (I'm assuming below the line is just your research dump of info you found?)
Have you thought about dividing the content into sections with lead at the top and perhaps a history section, to describe the origin of the term, with a "current" section to talk about modern day use? Then again, that's not the only way to do it, just the first thing that came to mind for me.

Article looks great! I think you have a wide variety of sources, and the explanation of the topic is clear and easy to understand. I would suggest possibly expanding on the idea of Donald Trump using the dead cat strategy to give a real world example of exactly what it entails. Overall your article is headed in the right direction! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amandas009 (talk • contribs) 12:53, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I like that the stub for this article almost doesn't exist and you are basically writing this article all on your own. I have never heard of this strategy so I think it would be nice to be able to read a credible article about what the Dead Cat Strategy is. I think you have found amazing sources and this seems to be something that actually interests you and seem to care about and feel passionate for. Great job!
