Some suggestions

Hey Mariko,

As mentioned on Wednesday - I like your draft and can tell that you have put thought into it. I really like that you have included 'See also' and 'Further reading' sections along with your footnotes and bibliography - they are great additions and something I am thinking of adding to my own wiki now!


I do have some suggestions:

I saw that you only have ARST 573 listed as a category. I'm not sure if this is mandatory, but I know the home page for all of our wikis mentions having the categories of "ARST 573," "Archival Studies," and "ARST."

There are a few minor grammatical issues within the article. For example, in the Iraq section it is written "After the Human Rights Watch/Middle East heard about the records, they were sent to the United States for assessment." This is a bit nit-picky (on my part), but perhaps instead of the "/" you could write "and"?

Earlier this semester we had to read about South African archives. If you are looking to widen your wiki's scope you could include a section about that region.

I agree with Taryn's comment on your discussion page about the addition of a generic overview on what a 'regime' is before you discuss the case studies. I think this would help contextualize your article. Alternatively, I was thinking that instead of having the section "Archivist's Role" at the bottom of the page you could bring it up higher and then use the case studies to show how the archivist's role was played out in specific regions.

Hey Chelsea, Thanks for the feedback. Good suggestion about the "Archivist's Role" suggestion. I had initially thought of adding a South African section so maybe I'll do that. As for the "Human Rights Watch/Middle East", it's actually the name of the organization. But if there are grammatical errors, please let me know.

Oh, my bad - sorry about that Mariko!
