Wikipedia:Peer review/Engel's Pause/archive1

Engel's Pause edit

I've listed this article for peer review because I am new to Wikipedia and would like to get some feedback from more experienced users on my article, and whether it abides by the Good Article Criteria. Please have a look at the content and see if there is overuse of economic jargon, if the article is difficult to understand, if it is not verifiable, etc. Thank you so much and I appreciate it!

Hey Garnet.h2 - great start on the article! I've taken a quick look over it and here are some improvements that I think need to be made to it:
  • Refs should be placed directly after the punctuation and directly after each other. There shouldn't be any spacing between a period and a ref, or between two refs.
  • Common nouns in headings should be decapitalized per MOS:HEAD
  • The article currently contains no links to other articles, and is thus a dead end page. You should add some links to the article, but try to follow at least the basics of Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking.
  • Many of the sources call this the Engels Pause, without the apostrophe. Is this the more common name? If so, then you should move the article to that title. At the least, you should mention somewhere in the article that some sources call it this.
  • None of the online sources you have are actually linked to, due to nowiki tags being around them, which is probably the result of using the Visual Editor to create this page. To fix this problem, go into the source editor and remove all of the <nowiki> and </nowiki> tags around the refs.
  • You should add categories to the article. HotCat is a semi-automated tool which makes this easier. You can install it in the gadgets section of your preferences.
  • If there's nothing to add in the external links section, just remove it. It isn't very helpful to have an empty external links section.
  • It would be nice to get the article deorphaned, by introducing links from relevant articles.
  • With the length of the article you could probably expand the lead section some more.
That should give you some basic ideas of what you can do. Overall, it looks very nice, especially considering how new you are. This may seem complicated, so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to let me know. Cheers, --SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 23:42, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
