Feedback on your work!
[edit]Hi, Calum! I told your professor I'd give a bit of feedback on each of your sandboxes, so please see my comments below:
- Prof. Webster mentioned you may want to incorporate this research into the existing Rettig Report article, which I think is a great idea. Don't forget to utilize the existing text and add yours in! You can always reorganize the article in a way you think best, but you want to be careful not to remove any reliable references or helpful formatting.
- One of the most important aspects of a Wikipedia article is that they have in-line citations throughout the article. That means that any one or two sentences can be verified by a reader who scans the article and wants to check reliability. Your references look good, but can you cite all of the facts throughout the article? If someone comes along and rearranges/reorganizes the content, you want each point to still be verifiable!
- As an example, can you source the sentence "The Supreme Court of Chile also opposed the Allende government and publicly decried it for failing to comply with some judicial decisions"?
- As to references, you currently have URLs for a lot of them without any context. This handout can hopefully help you out, and you can definitely use the Reference toolbar in the editing box, which I find extremely helpful!
- There are a few other formatting issues that really aren't a big deal—someone else can always come along who has a bit more experience with editing and wiki code. :) Still, if you want to learn more about wikilinks (links to other articles), your text could definitely use them to give unfamiliar readers a chance to understand jargon and/or get more information on relevant topics.
Hope this helps and gives you some steps you can take! Please ping me on my talk page if any questions come up! JMathewson (WMF) (talk) 21:55, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
Some of this could definitely be integrated into Rettig commission article but need to be much clearer that there were two truth commissions (of which Rettig is one). Dwebsterbu (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:47, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
