Peer Review

edit

Hi Classaboutdeadpeople! I'll be doing your peer review this week (this is Allison Hansen, btw)! I'll probably get to it towards the end of the week, so let me know if there is anything specific you want me to focus/comment on!

Thanks! ARH125 — Preceding unsigned comment added by ARH125 (talkcontribs) 13:41, 13 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hey Classaboutdeadpeople, This is Allison again for your peer review! First of all, I think the article you picked is really interesting. It already has really good bones so adding to it just for content or moving stuff around won't be too difficult! I also read your Sandbox and like your first couple starting ideas. The fumigation idea is also interesting, just make sure it fits well with the rest of the article. So far, I liked what you did to the prevention section and there's also a ton of citations in the article! I think the Lead section could be worked with a bit. There's a lot of information and the sentence structures don't exactly "flow." I would suggest seeing what overlaps with "Cause" and "Diagnosis" sections. There's probably also a lot you can do with our class and the history section! See if there's any case studies about the plague from an archaeological POV. Can't wait to read your article at the end of the semester. Good luck!
