Links

Hi Marisa, You've chosen such an ambitious topic and it seems like you're well-prepared to tackle it. Your organization looks good to me, and I think looking at who created the archive in question and how it's been used will be really interesting. I agree with Amy that the dichotomy between perpetrator and survivor can be hard to navigate, but considering your experience and background with this topic, I think you'll be able to handle it sensitively.

Would your list of links to information about genocidal events fit better towards the end of the wiki? Since they're mostly external links at this point, they seem like they'd make up a really excellent Further Reading section down at the bottom, but if you're planning on referring to them in the section you've got them nested in then staying where they currently are makes sense. I can't wait to see how your page develops!

Best, Allison

Hi Allison, thanks for the feedback. Sorry for the late reply.

It is a bit ambitious - hopefully I haven't bitten off more than I can chew. As I mentioned in my reply to Amy, I'm still working on navigating the perpetrator/victim dichotomy. To find a suitable solution, I've been doing some more reading from genocide-specific sources and I am also open to suggestions.

I think you are right about the links fitting better at the end of the wiki. I included them at the beginning because I'll be discussing some of them later in the article but I'll probably do a brief overview of the event in the section in which I am referring to it. The list won't feature so prominently and it will be clearer that way.

Thanks for the suggestion and the feedback!
