2/23 Wikipedia critique:

"proxies" section

-it's taken from the main article proxy (statistics) which is not relevant to the topic of geography/climate

-no citations

-information written is repetitive (already mentioned in previous paragraphs)

"proxy" section

-link to an independent website? erroneous?

"tree rings" section

-no citations

"fossil leaves" section

-not much information written compared to other paragraphs

"boreholes" section

-too much information written compared to other paragraphs

-not enough citations

-appears to be well paraphrased

"corals" section

-no citation after direct quotation

-direct quotation shouldn't be used; instead the editor should have paraphrased Greer's conclusion

"pollen grains" section

-should be rewritten for better flow

"references" section

-duplicate references

-no notes section

-sources section not needed
