General

[edit]
  • Missing comma in the "In 2013 Powell was awarded..." sentence. → In 2013, Powell was awarded...
  • Would prefer the "Economic advisor" section to be turned into a heading.
  • The rest of the text is solid, its prose is clear and it complies with the manual of style.
  • It is neutral and stable.

Images

[edit]
  • None but I also wasn't able to find any that we could add.
