Peer Review
[edit]Hello! I have peer reviewed your sandbox entries for the 2020 United States Presidential Election page and have looked over the article. I am leaving my notes below of things you did well, the overall article has done well, and improvements that can be made (not necessarily just by you!). Great work so far!
- I think what you are contributing to your Wikipedia article makes a lot of sense and updating weekly is a good method to do that
- The source you are using is reliable and its data is presented well
- Other parties running in the election could be briefly mentioned in the lead section
- I notice lack of references just in the lead section > for example, the last paragraph makes statements about records in the age of the presidential candidates with no sources cited (unless the other Wikipedia pages linked count for this)
- The links that I checked throughout the text worked
- Seems neutral overall > any claims I noticed were tied to who made the claims
- A lot of sources in total, very well informed
- Some information can be updated as the situation evolves, such as Amy Coney Barrett officially being a Justice now
- The Covid-19 section is lengthy, I wonder if other sections should be lengthened as well to match that weight
Thanks! -- Wiki811pedia (talk) 02:54, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
-Thank you for the feedback. As the votes have already been cast in the election, my plan is to finalize all of the polling data and move on to fixing some of the other things that you mentioned. I think that going forward, it will be important to focus on the evolving situation in terms of the lawsuits now, including the information you suggested adding about the supreme court, as it may come into play in the near future. My goal is for the article to be up to date, factually accurate, and as neutral as possible.Lshane23 (talk) 21:04, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
