Peer Review:
Hey Kieran- it's Angela. Really nice work with these drafts! I am close friends with Ben and Ilya from MoveOn, and I know they'll appreciate your efforts to update the page. Just a few really small notes:
Be sure your citations get formatted correctly. Some link to the bottom correctly, while other Grammatical edits: You write, "In December of 2014, MoveOn.org. began their campaign to get Elizabeth Warren to..." There should be no period after MoveOn.org and it should read "Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)..." Be sure you use titles whenever introducing elected officials. In general, periods should go inside of quotation marks, not outside of them. In the first sentence: "from the domination of big money." Tenses- be sure everything is written in the past tense when talking about past events. You write, "MoveOn.org chooses to back Bernie..." should be "chose..." Other than those few small fixes, I think you address a lot of important points and your organization is excellent. Nice work!

Peer Review Response:
Hi Angela, thank you for the thoroughness of your feedback. I really appreciate it!
In regards to the citations, I was having a little trouble figuring out how I can break up my sandbox into multiple topics because when I try to cite something for MoveOn.org or Democracy Spring it just puts the citation under my citations for 99rise. I'm trying to troubleshoot this now, but if I am unable to figure it out then I will reach out to Ian from Wikipedia for some guidance.
Currently, I am going through my proposed wikipedia edits right now to check for grammatical errors and to make sure that I am using the correct tense throughout my work. I will continue to review and edit my work until I am ready to start implementing some of my proposed changes onto the actual wikipedia pages.
My plan moving forward in order to finish the assignment to the best of my ability is three fold:
First, I need to continue finding peer reviewed sources that I can incorporate into my articles. Right now, I have around 5-6 peer reviewed sources that I am confident I can include throughout my Wikipedia articles. It has been pretty hard to find peer reviewed sources because the pages that I am talking about are either relatively recent in existence or there just has not been a lot of information on them when I try to find sources using the Berkeley library database. However, I plan on continuing to research the library database as well as other places to find the 15 peer reviewed sources that I need for my articles.
Secondly, I need to finish up the edits that I want to make to MoveOn.org as well as Democracy Spring. I have an outline and general idea as to what I want to contribute to the page, but I need to start writing the actual edits that I will be putting on the page.
Lastly, I need to start posting my ideas to the talk pages of the articles to see if any other Wikipedia users agree or disagree with my proposed edits. If they have feedback that I agree with, I will try to incorporate their ideas into my work in order to make the best edits possible.
