Peer Review and Copy Edit Suggestions
[edit]- You have some differences in capitalization throughout the piece (not just lead section) with words like European, Caribbean, African, Indians, creole (which may depend on whether you are mentioning the language or the people), etc. for these uniformity throughout would be best!
- "It is alongside Nicaragua's southern Caribbean coast, which is part of a region known as the Mosquito Coast." For this sentence, state what "it" is rather than saying "it"- I am not sure what it is referring to and this would just bring a bit more clarity.
- Consider moving the picture from the LEAD SECTION to the HISTORY or CULTURE AND IDENTIFICATION SECTION when you discuss more deeply the movement of people and identities.
- Consider in the LANGUAGE DETAILS SECTION Paraphrasing the last sentence that is a quote and citing it rather than inserting the quote.
- I know we are still working on the articles and it is difficult to find information on endangered languages but I think there could be more put into the language details section to give the article a little more balance. You could maybe add phonology, writing system or mention any lack thereof.
In the HISTORY section the following sentence may be taken as opinion in terms of solidification of culture. What comes to my mind is how is solidification of culture measured? Is there a different way to write that and get your point across? Or maybe explain what solid means? "Their culture became solid after gaining economic , political and social control over the Mosquito Coast."
- Maybe add in the classification- if it is endangered and what that means for this language.
- Instead of Bibliography, I think it is more standard to use References on Wikipedia and then have the listed references, and then external links.
You're ahead of the game and your article looks great. Good Luck! Pariewill (talk) 22:03, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
Hi Brianna, Your article is very informative and it seems like you have included couple of different topics relating to the language you chose, such as location description of native speakers, and the history of how the creole people even came to be. This information lends to the overall quality of your page and I found myself more engaged because you went beyond just stating plain facts. I will definitely try to emulate this in my own article.
