peer review[edit]

Ok. This is a start but the draft needs more attention. How does this case matter? How has it affected other cases or public policy? Why is it significant. Also, make sure you follow the outline and style of other cases written about in Wikipedia Cassell04 (talk) 01:33, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think that you need to go into depth of the importance of this case earlier. Maybe provide a "case significance" before the "question of the case"? Also, you mention 2013 several times for the same reason. It seems a bit excessive and takes away from the flow of the writing. Furthermore, I think that you should have some more references to reinforce what you are saying as you begin explain to explain the significance. When you look at the other cases, pay attention to how the language draws the audience in and retains their interest. Ssmit216 (talk) 03:01, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is a good start, but I'd organize your article more with the headers. Also explain the case a little more, and maybe see if it has any relevance to similar cases and how those were handled. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gavinbbly (talk • contribs) 21:36, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
