editHi, I have some notes on your draft:
- It looks like your sections are smaller than the other sections. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but make sure that you're not removing information that should be in the article. Also keep in mind that the sections don't automatically have to be re-written completely. (You don't have to keep the material, but the general gist is that you don't have to reinvent the wheel if the section only needs sourcing.)
- That said, the writing is generally good - just keep the above in mind and also make sure that you steer clear of subjective words and phrases. Landmark could be seen as a subjective term, for example, unless it's a widely held opinion. It's better to phrase things like this as "has been seen as landmark by (specific person or group)".
- This needs more sourcing to back up the claims. Since this deals with climate change, a topic that can often be highly debated, make sure that you use the strongest possible sourcing. Primary sources are fine for this depending on what they're sourcing, of course. I'm a little leery of E-International Relations, as I don't know that it's really the strongest possible source. To be honest, I'd recommend going with a stronger academic source.
I hope that this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:34, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
