Peer review

This is where you will complete your peer review exercise. Please use the following template to fill out your review.

General info

• Whose work are you reviewing? (provide username) Mobeenb98
• Link to draft you're reviewing: User:Mobeenb98/sandbox

Lead

Guiding questions:

• Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer?
• Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
• Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
• Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
• Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?

Lead evaluation

I think the lead in the article you are adding to is already pretty heavy and has a lot of information , so I understand if you do not want to add to it. However, I think your addition of the Critical Debates about the Mandal Commission is really valuable and important to this page. So I think it would be cool to add a sentence or two to the lead saying something like "The Mandal Commission has further been scrutinized and debated for ... "

Content

Guiding questions:

• Is the content added relevant to the topic?
• Is the content added up-to-date?
• Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?

Content evaluation

I think this content is super important, relevant, and well-written! I really liked how you introduced the paragraph with speaking about the cultural climate and environment prior to the Mandal Commission. I also appreciate the statistics you use throughout the paragraph to really illustrate the point you are making. Maybe some more info on the Articles of the constitution that you mention would be helpful, simply for a bit of context?

Tone and Balance

Guiding questions:

• Is the content added neutral?
• Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
• Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
• Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?

Tone and balance evaluation

While the point of this section is to critically discuss the realities of what the Mandal Commission has been able to achieve, I think the tone is very well set. You do a good job of not simply criticizing the Commission, but more showing its limitations and highlighting the facts of what it has and has not been able to achieve. Again, I think your statistics really help with this.

Sources and References

Guiding questions:

• Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
• Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
• Are the sources current?
• Check a few links. Do they work?

Sources and references evaluation

You clearly must have had sources to pull together this information, so make sure you add it in! Especially since you are talking about numbers I think it is really important to give yourself credibility on the numbers. If you click the "cite" button it should let you insert a link into a search box and then it will automatically population the citation as a footnote for you.

Organization

Guiding questions:

• Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
• Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors?
• Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Organization evaluation

Even though this is only one paragraph, I think it is both pretty dense and long. You might consider breaking it up into a couple of different paragraphs. I think where you say "However..." could be a good spot for a paragraph break. I really like where you place this section in the context of the original Wikipedia page though! It makes a lot of sense in terms of natural flow and filling the gaps of this page.

Images and Media

Guiding questions: If your peer added images or media

• Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
• Are images well-captioned?
• Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
• Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?

Images and media evaluation

Not yet, but looking forward to seeing them!

For New Articles Only

If the draft you're reviewing is a new article, consider the following in addition to the above.

• Does the article meet Wikipedia's Notability requirements - i.e. Is the article supported by 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of the subject?
• How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject?
• Does the article follow the patterns of other similar articles - i.e. contain any necessary infoboxes, section headings, and any other features contained within similar articles?
• Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable?

New Article Evaluation

N/A

Overall impressions

Guiding questions:

• Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete?
• What are the strengths of the content added?
• How can the content added be improved?

Overall evaluation

I think this is a really great and valuable addition to the page! It is information that is super important to know, and I believe you have written it very well. I think some easy next steps that will elevate this a lot is to 1) add sources, 2) break this into at least 2 paragraphs, and 3) add to the lead since your part is so strong and good! Really liked reading this!
