Hello, Rosemary Bencher, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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

Hi Rosemary!

Overall, I think you have made some pretty great edits to your article so far. I like that you used NAGPRA as an example of archaeological ethics legislation, and I think the information you added about how DNA tests led to new ethical concerns was very interesting and added a whole new dimension to the article. If you have the time, I believe that your article would greatly benefit from headings and reorganizing the content into separate sections. I would also suggest that you look at the External Links and move some of them to References instead; a lot of the pre-existing information seems to refer to the external links, so formally citing this information would be an easy way to improve your article even more! That said, the edits YOU have made are excellent and well-cited, and I have no problems with them at all! But if you are looking for more (simple) ways to edit your article, I would definitely focus on organization and adding citations. Great work!

I've made more specific comments on the peer review template, but I think these are the most important points. Feel free to email me if you have any questions, my email is ehk11@pitt.edu :)
