Feedback on your draft

edit

Hi there! I've go over your draft at User:Hannahmarriiee/Office of Seed and Plant Introduction and you've put together a lot of great information.

In general, I think your work looks good and I think you can start moving these changes over to the "live" version as soon as you're ready. You seem to have figured this out!

Also, I'd encourage you to not only add new content but spend a bit more time and effort editing (and improving!) the content left by others (even though I know there wasn't very much there to start with). Maybe add citations/references for uncited claims? Can you improve the tone? And so on. Be Bold!

That's it from me for now! —mako 21:04, 20 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Office of Seed and Plant Introduction peer review

edit

Hey Hannah, the Office of Seed and Plant Introduction looks great! I'd never heard of it and found it really interesting, so it's awesome that you improve it so much. Here are my thoughts from my review:

Lede: Looks great and very thorough. Even tone and good sourcing. Seems you could stop there and get the gist of the article.

Body: The formation and purpose section is very detailed and informative. For readability, I'd suggest breaking the paragraph into smaller chunks, perhaps at the sentence that starts, "In 1862... ." I'm also wondering if your sources provided any information about why and when the office was closed. It seems they were pretty active for some time. The tone throughout the article is very balanced and your sourcing is thorough. The section on notable explorers is a great addition. Are there any especially notable plants that they introduced to the US that you could list?

References: These appear to be thorough and diverse.

Blanked sandbox page

edit

I blanked your sandbox page and put a link to the live version here: User:Hannahmarriiee/Office of Seed and Plant Introduction.

I assume this is correct but if there's anything you're missing it should be accessible in the page history. —mako 23:13, 4 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
