Peer Review - Celia Hunter
[edit]Hi, Madi!
I looked at your article on Celia Hunter for the Peer Review assignment. It looks like you have lots of great sources listed as references, but not very many in-text citations. I noticed the banner at the top mentioned that the article read like a personal essay, and I think in-text citations might help with that. I would suggest any information in your article that doesn't directly come from one of your sources be removed, such that what is left is good, reliable information to which you can add a citation. This would make your article read more more like an encyclopedia entry than a personal essay.
The Conservation legacy section is particular heavy with content compared to the rest of your article, with almost no citations. I took a look at the Anne Frank article on Wikipedia as a guidepost for mine, since it was said to be a good, well-developed article. It has at least one citation, if not several more, for every paragraph to show all information has come from a reliable, documented source. Any information you don't have a direct citation for, would be a good place to start with trimming down the less factual, more essay-like content. I hope this helps! This is a very interesting article, and I found myself clicking on your links to learn more about the WASPS, so I'm glad I got to read this one for the peer review assignment.
