Peer Review Context Memo

My project choice was to originally translate the article titled “Electricity production in Italy” from the Italian Wikipedia to English. However, as I searched for a good model to use, I came across the article titled “Electricity sector in Italy” on the English Wikipedia; much of the content was similar, and it appeared as though someone had actually translated certain sections from the Italian article to the English one. However, the Italian article remains more robust- my project is to make the English equivalent article equally comprehensive.

My sandbox contains a link to the Italian article at the top, followed by the copied-and-pasted English article that I’m working on. As you can see, most of the sections are quite skimpy compared to their Italian counterparts. One of my goals is to expand these sections. I have already begun expanding the sections titled “Fossil fuels,” “other renewables”, and “imports” – please take a look at these. You may also use Google Translate on the Italian article if you’d like to take a look at it. I have also begun improving the “Nuclear power” section, as there are some confusing/contradictory statements in there.

Please also take a look at the “cost” section- I am unsure exactly where this should fit within the article. The Italian article has the same section, placed in the same spot- but I’m not sure whether I like where it lies.

Another goal of mine is to add (updated) sources. A large amount of the data in the article is from an Italian utility company’s website- my plan is to find this updated data on their English site. The top of the article states that it needs more citations- my goal is to provide as many of these as possible (some from the original Italian article, and some original ones).

One thing I am looking for in a peer review is some comments on the structure of the article; it seems to be formatted in a somewhat standard way for articles of this type, but I am still not sure that I like it. Another tip that would be useful is how to restructure the introduction section- at present, it seems very scattered and disorganized, so some advice on what to include/not include there would be helpful.
