Peer Review: Anti-Environmentalism

edit

Hey there Emma, it looks like Abbye and you are putting up a nicely crafted article on Anti-Environmentalism. For what I've seen so far, the original article overall lacks in proper arrangement and structure of ideas. To add on, some of the original contents are poorly built and needs focus. Moreover, I do see some incorrect information about Prime minister Trudeau being an anti-environmentalist. It is great that you two could successfully focus on the core problems of the article as well as correct them in the draft. However, I faced some trouble tracking up your contribution in the draft initially, but could later see that it was edited in Italics to separate your work from the original. Moving on, I see that you've done some original research and incorporated contents on China, Peru, Polland, and Kenya. As I too am doing my fair share of summarizing and paraphrasing on Mike Davis's work, I really do realize the hurdle it takes to bring out the essence of a 20 pg article in just a paragraph. However, you do need to give proper in-text citations and include references in the bibliography, only providing external links would not suffice in this case. Furthermore, the subsection on Polland and China under Recent Anti-Environmentalism tab needs internal links on some jargons and scientific terms for the readers to better understand. Make sure you check on that. I would also suggest adding some pictures to the article whether downloading it from the common space or using photos under public domain, that would definitely be visually appealing to the readers. And last of all, there is always room for improvement so keep an eye out for more content and sources for your article and you'll be doing great! I know that the draft is far away from being polished and ready for submission, but Abbye and you will surely take care of it. I hope this helps. Looking forward to what you have to say.
