Peer review

Sara

You have edited wikipedia articles before and I am new to them so you probably know better than I however, here are my ideas for what could possibly help.

I am wondering if you could give a little more to the industry section and perhaps tie it back to the disease.

• Why do you begin in 1955? Was there a conference? Can you link to the wiki for this conference?
• Yokkaichi was faster at the transition, can you give a fact about this? Feels like a vague statement.

Petrochemical Complex No. 1 section

• I wouldn’t start a sentence or a section with this “To accomplish the goal of the government's issues…” I don’t know what that means, Just tell us what the Daichi Petrochemical complex is, make it obvious, and what they did.

Petrochemical Complex No. 2 section

• I think you should begin with, “ Phase II began as MITI announced …” and then go into the first thing you said. Don't start a section by telling me “why” when I don’t know the exact “what” your talking about.

Petrochemical Complex No. 2 section

• As an example of the point I am repeatedly making I would rephrase the sentence in this section like this, “ Petrochemical Complex # 3 was constructed as an extension of Petrochemical Complex #2 due to a rising demand for ethylene and other petrochemicals. Production of chemicals to meet this demand began in 1972.

Petrochemical Complex No. 2 section

• Same comment for this section as others

1967 Yokkaichi Pollution Lawsuit

• I might add the compensation of victims section to this section
• This is probably a section which deserves a few more lines. What did the patients get for their efforts? What was the result for companies with ties to Showa Yokkaichi Oil's Petrochemical Complex No. 1. Were the lawsuits effective enough to change how the companies engaged with these pollutants?

Other Cases

• I love that you have this section

Overall I think you do an excellent job of maintaining a neutral voice while presenting the necessary facts someone would need to understand the history and form an opinion about it. You obviously have some great sources here. You're nearly done!
