Peer Review for Johnnel

Lead evaluation The lead has been updated to reflect new content in the article, furthermore the addition of source material strengthens the overall lead. To date, the lead offers a concise reflection of the nature of the article.

Content evaluation The article is strengthened by the addition of Labor Market Duality, expansion of the details of the nation's support for IMF membership.

Tone and balance evaluation The addition of the Labor Market Duality section is important but I feel it could be edited to reflect the position of the source. "According to 'author'," there are two types of workers" to preserve the integrity of the article. The content added might reflect a need for reform that the IMF could potentially help address? I feel like material from an additional source might help strengthen this section.

Sources and references evaluation The addition of new content, as well as supplemental information in the introduction, is cited by reliable secondary sources. The links also appear to work.

Organization evaluation You've done a good job restructuring the article. The reader will appreciate the flow of information. It paints a clearer picture of the SK-IMF relationship.

Images and media evaluation This article only utilizes on graph, I think it could be strengthened by adding a photo or two in a way that builds on the text. The graph currently in use is well captioned.

Overall evaluation The article has been improved by the addition of new contextual information and additional sources. I think it would benefit from more data, possibly a chart, and slightly more references to build on the credibility of new text. Good work! Evartsco (talk) 23:54, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

1. Lead Section I feel like your lead section could be expanded, as it lacks a lot of information that is important in the article. Including information about the 1997 crisis would be good, since a large portion of the article is on that topic.

2. Clear Structure Good structure, perhaps could group the writings into a more broad section on history vs economic aspects. Order seems somewhat random.

3. Balanced coverage Your section on the 1997 crisis should be a larger part of the article, since that was such a defining time in the history of South Korean economics and the IMF

4. Neutral Content Do a good job at remaining neutral for the most part, however their are some claims made that seem to paint the IMF in a negative light. These claims would be fine if you make sure to include non biased support to those claims, and maybe reword how you frame the information. Specifically, when saying the IMF requirements caused increase in unemployment make sure to back it up with a good source.

5. Reliable Sources Only authoritative source seems to be the IMF.

Add some charts showing the impact of the 1997 crisis on the economy, and the aftermath of the IMF intervention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ShaneJHoran98 (talk • contribs) 02:05, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
