Peer Review (Ben Alpert)

I hope I've entered this peer review onto the correct page. If not, my apologies.

I have to start by saying that your article was very well-done overall. You've added a lot of informative, quality facts that enlighten the whole situation on what was, it appears, formerly a rather stark page. You've certainly got the hang of neutrality and thoroughness, with both your internal links and your references checking out it would seem. As such, I don't believe there is much I could tell you to drastically improve your addition, but I will note to you the things I did find, for whatever that's worth.

• Your sections are entitled "Affects on the Environment", etc. I would change that to Environmental Effects, or at least Effect on the Environment. Wrong a/effect used.
• You mention the Caribbean Stranding Network, and then follow it up with its own abbreviation, CSN, in parentheses. The parenthetical abbreviation is unnecessary. That you are referring to the Caribbean Stranding Network with CSN will be intuitive to anyone who has read the section with any sort of thoroughness. You do this exact thing, if I've not missed an instance, twice (once in "Affects on Wildlife", once in "Environmental Response").
• The entire intro section to "Affects on Wildlife" seems a tad redundant. For instance, the first, second, and last sentence therein could easily be combined into one. Perhaps condense a bit.
• In "Most Affected Species" (subsection) you include the term least resilient in quotations. Unless you are quoting something specifically, remove the quotations. If, however, you are referencing something in particular, include a reference.

Welcome!

Hello Brad, Here's a bunch of links in a template that someone gave to me when I started using Wikipedia - it's all a bit formal looking but some bits might be helpful. You can delete this or keep it or whatever you want - your talk page can look like mine (which rambles on and on, or can be neat and organised with archives and pretty pictures like some other people). It took me about 6 months before I got to feeling comfortable with doing anything more than a minor tweak here or there. Eventually it begins to feel like second nature - so much so that perhaps I should go and search for a reputable source to back that up EdwardLane (talk) 09:38, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.
