Hello, Bjeremy, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Peer Review - Casey Bechtel

I like the organizational changes that you have. It makes it easier to see and easier for visitors to find the specific sections they want.

For the line: "Most Conservative Blacks are also opposed to reparations" is that cited in the Stanley Crouch citation? Otherwise that will need to have its own citation.

In the reparations with Barbados, that line has no citation for its quote and information.

In the United States, have any politicians been in favor of reparations?

Have there been any reparations given anywhere in the world?

Are you going to add anything to the legal section? CaseyBechtel (talk) 18:42, 8 March 2017 (UTC)CaseyBechtel

Nice job organizing the article by region - it's much easier to read that way. I also like that there are several links to other Wikipedia pages.

Is there any information on why Rep. Conyers kept re-introducing the bill H.R. 40? Or why it wasn't garnering substantial congressional support?

Since there's a sub-section on opposition to reparations, would it be possible to find support for the reparations? Maybe public opinion polls or reactions from people outside the political arena?

The statement about Barbados "currently leading the way..." needs a citation.

Could you add a couple country-specific examples for the Reparation Demands in Africa section (similar to what was done in the Caribbean section)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrewcm123 (talk • contribs) 16:24, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

I particularly liked how you reorganized the various listed complaints by country/area--that makes the material easier to wade through, particularly if someone is looking for information on a specific geographic location. I think moving forward that the most improvement could be made by delving into more than just the demands for slavery reparations but maybe some discussion about how estimates were created, any traction that has been made in various locations, and a more in-depth explanation of the opposition to slavery reparations. Additionally you could go more in-depth about each instance and talk about the reception/response and any ramifications that stemmed from making the demands. There are also quite a few sections/statements that don't seem to have any sources or documentation of where the information is coming from (the point about Tony Blair for example) so adding in those citations could improve credibility. Please let me know if you have any questions about my feedback or if you want me to take a second look at your contributions. Cbshier (talk) 16:27, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
