Peer Review by AliAsghar Diwan

Follow their lead: The lead is concise and gives a clear understanding of what will be expected in the passage. However, it lacks specifics about the grammar, phonetics, or the dialects of Coyotero.

A clear structure: Sections are listed in the order that they are mentioned in the lead. There is no section for the dialects, or geographical area. It should not be mentioned in the lead if there is no specific section on it at all.

A balancing act: From quickly browsing the bibliography and text, I see that there is a significant focus on phonetics and grammatical structure, verb systems, and place names. This is mostly reflected in the sections in a balanced way, not giving one area too much weight over the others. Culture and place names, and the influence of Western Apache/Coyotero on the landscape is not noted at all. Based on the bibliography, this should be at least mentioned in passing.

Neutral content: The content seems completely neutral and unbiased.

Reliable Sources: Most of the sources come from respected journals, such as Science and International Journal of American Linguistics.

Mechanics: No notable spelling or grammar mistakes.

Bibliography: Proper citation, no need to change.

Overall: Good lead, sections and bibliography, but sections need to be expanded to reflect the wide variety of information touched upon in the sources.

Peer Review - Katherine Garcia

Your lead section seemed too general and brief for me. While the lead is just supposed to be general info that gets expanded upon later, there are still some vital sections that can be a part of your lead. For example, in your lead you can include the amount of people who speak the language, if that language is the main language of that country or is it a minor language, the other names of the language, etc. You mention talking about dialects in your lead but you do not name them. A lead is supposed to be like the introduction of an essay, as it introduces the specific aspects of the language you are going to talk about. So far your this looks like a very general outline, which can cause problems later on when you are going to write your article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kathiegarcia1996 (talk • contribs) 20:22, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
