Pre-review Notes[edit]

  1. A better explanation of the regualations section would be nice.
  1. Expansion of Criticisms section possible?

Thanks for reviewing it.

  1. How many QIZs are there? Put that in the lead.
    Done
    )
  2. Countries aren't wikified.
    WP:CONTEXT does away with linking country names (Reference: Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2008-09-08/Dispatches 2)
    WP:CONTEXT states that "Relevant connections to the subject of another article that will help readers to understand the current article more fully...This can include... topics that already have an article..." I would like to see some of the names of major players in QIZs linked, even if the links are to "Economy of..." ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 22:43, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Many confusing terms aren't wikified. Basically, link any terms that someone not familiar with the subject might not understand.
    Could you point out some terms? I'll be glad to wikify them.
    • tariff or quota restrictions
    • trade zones
    • eight-year old free trade agreement between the United States and Israel (link to the article about that agreement)
    • value-added goods
    • boycott
    Et cetera. ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 22:43, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  4. A better explanation of the regualations section would be nice.
    Tried to convert it to prose... its a horrible mess now. I'm not sure if this is what would make it clearer. Let me know. I'll try and think of something better
    I still think that all the precentages make the section hard to comprehend. Perhaps the list was better, with an explanation at the endErikTheBikeMan (talk) 22:43, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Expansion of Criticisms section possible?
    So far, that's the only reliable source that covers criticism. :(
    Understood. ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 22:43, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
