Sandbox feedback[edit]

Hey Alex. Your general structure looks good so far; I don't know much about your topic so can't give much detailed feedback on your content. Looks like you're missing a lead section (or maybe that's what you mean by "Overview"?). You've got some very impressive sources so far (small issue: footnote 4 is missing page numbers). Personally, I would recommend against having a "case study"/example section - while this format is common in textbooks, most Wikipedia articles incorporate examples into other sections as appropriate rather than devoting an independent section to them. I noticed that the history seems to be spread across multiple sections, any particular reason for that? When you fill in content in the Controversies section, make sure to include ample citations for it - if it's controversial, citation density needs to increase. In general, your content needs some copy-editing for grammar, and should try to incorporate more wikilinks to other articles. For specialized topics like this, you want to help your reader figure out what you're talking about, without you needing to explain too much basic biology in the article itself.

Ways to improve Forensic Limnology[edit]

Hi, I'm Kirananils. AWATSO6, thanks for creating Forensic Limnology!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. No lead section .Overview could be used as Lead section.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Hi. Just so you know, in Wikipedia we do not capitalize each word in a title, see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization). I've moved the article back to Forensic limnology. Sandstein 16:05, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
