Peer Review IAH209
editHi Weston,
Your article choice for our IAH209 class looks so interesting just from the title!! It is also really cool that there is an award winning film about the case. Your lead section seems a little short, I think you could extend the summary out a bit. It is easy to understand and gets the basic idea of the article across. Your structure is really good, I would suggest changing description to case description and maybe reorganizing some of that information to autopsy (I was assuming at first it was going to outline the description of how the case surfaced etc). Some of the facts you found seem like they would be found in an autopsy. I love how you outlines the steps of the case in a timeline it really puts a visual together. I also like how you added a section for developments so that additions can be made over the years if more information surfaces. I would maybe add the funeral to the timeline and remove that as a section since it is so short. My article is body donation and body's like Peters could have been donated if they did not need the remains for their investigation. Over all I think your article is good, just reorganize to make it more clear and maybe add more of a summary at the beginning! Great first draft!! --Fungrach (talk) 17:05, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
IAH 209 Peer Review
editHi Weston,
Good job on your article so far! I think that your lead paragraph gives a very good layout what you are going to talk about on the topic. I found your topic rather interesting and easy to follow the way you have it set up. I would almost put the time line of events before the autopsy so it basically leads but to the description of the autopsy after you give the viewer the timeline of events. I would possibly reorganize the whole article to have things such as the autopsy and the funeral near each other because I feel as if they kind of work well together. Other than that I believe you have a very good handle on your topic! I think that having some of your words leading to outside articles is very helpful because when I was going over your article I got a better understanding on what was going on. Good job!
