Some suggestions

Hi Mariko,

Your wiki is fascinating and very well researched. You also make good use of hyperlinks to direct the reader to related pages outside your wiki. I have a few suggestions. The first is that some of your quotations could be more integrated into the flow of your writing. Here are two I noticed:

“... the Stasi attacked and persecuted all internal opposition to communism, often displaying great cruelty and sadism.”[18] "Its retrieval and use became more standardized."[75]

There are also a couple of sentences that could use further clarification.

'The rescued archives were of various media (textual, photographs, negatives, slides, and sound and video recordings) which created preservation issues.' (Maybe in a footnote or in the body of the text, you could briefly explain what the preservation issues are).

'In addition, the Stasi archives included non-Stasi records stolen by the Stasi, creating more arrangement issues for archivists.[28]' (Same thing, I was wondering, what are the arrangement issues?)

The only other suggestion I have is perhaps to break up the section Archivist's role. It's a little long. But, it's not so long that it seems overwhelming.

Great work!

Hi Cristen,

Thanks for your suggestions. I've attempted now to make them a bit more streamlined and clearer. I agree with you on the Archivist's role section. I kept trying to break it up but I wasn't sure what was the best way to approach it. I've now added a subheading so we'll see how that goes.
