Overall evaluation

Hi Nirali,

I'm afraid I can't supply many criticisms to your article draft because I think you've done a wonderful job. I will highlight some of your greatest strengths and some clarification questions that I had:

1. You've done a great job at implementing a neutral tone in your work. This has been very difficult for our classmates, as well as myself. When I was reading it I had no idea where you stood in terms of your opinions/beliefs which is a great indicator.
2. As well as tone you referenced everything. Both of these aspects have made your article very encyclopedia-like, nice job!
3. I had a question about your edits, I want to make sure I didn't miss any edits because your sandbox had a lot of information. You made a total of four ~paragraph edits, correct? I got this number by looking for the "My Edits:" + the New section and comparing contrasting the original article for the distinction to see where your work ended.
4. I had another question regarding layout: Is the first edit going to replace the original Lead? If so, I think you did a great job at revising. I also noticed you used one of the same sources but you paraphrased much better. You made the Lead more concise and clear with your edits.
5. Your second article was used to update a 2013 figure and I think that was very smart! I just have a question about whether you will be including the rest of your work in that edit into the existing section or replace it altogether?
6. The history of financial inclusion was another smart add! You really knew how to find which areas which required work and how to make them flow smoothly and it shows.

As I've mentioned, I don't have much to critique. I really think you've set a high expectation for what to expect from this assignment and its wonderful to be able to learn from your example. If you have any questions or clarifications you'd like me to address I will happily do so.

Thank you for allowing me to peer review your work,

-Ambar
