2001 anthrax attacks[edit]

I would like to know what to rate this under the FBI Project Box, and since we don't have a lot of members, I thought it would be better to get this reviewed by Peer Review. BlackBear 14:48, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wasted Sapience[edit]

Interesting subject. Sizable article with some room for improvement.

  • Needs more links to other articles. A lot more links. How could you not link to September 11 attacks or the FBI?
  • Image [37] doesn't work.
  • There appears to be something wrong with the referencing. Probably just a simple code mistake somewhere around reference #40.
  • "Only the New York Post and NBC News[36] letters were actually found; the existence of the other three letters is inferred from the pattern of infection." Reference that. In fact, most of the overview need referenced.
  • "More than Twenty-two people developed anthrax infections, some of the victims have been covered up by the FBI, eleven of the life-threatening inhalation variety." Sounds like a conspiracy theory. Reword if that's not what you're going for.
  • The letters sections need references. Don't be afraid to use the same source more than once in the article.
  • I don't think we need to have the notes in actual note format. Entering them as a quote should be fine.
  • Don't have simple external links within the article themselves. Use <ref></ref> tags everytime you reference or mention an outside link within the article text.
  • aerosolization is a red link. Redirect it to aerosol or something similar.
  • Use a quote template or something similar for the dialoge in the Congressional oversight section.
  • Don't use MLA, APA, or any other high school or college research paper referencing in the articles. This is Wikipedia, not an English class. Use <ref></ref> tags. See Wikipedia:Referecing.
  • The principal means of decontamination is fumigation with chlorine dioxide gas. Reference that.
  • The comments from 'bio-weapons experts and 'Comments from government officials' seem un-encyclopedic. It's outside the scope of Wikipedia to provide commentary about anything. If they are notable in the investigation and have anything notable to say, move it to another appropriate part of the article. Remove all quotes, comments, whatever, which are not notable and remove the sections.
  • Further reading:"Anthrax Powder - State of the Art?" by Gary Matsumoto (Science, November 28, 2003) [43] Fix that.
  • Make sure that the timeline is in line with Wikipedia:Timeline standards.
  • Related events: Move notable events into other parts of the article, the Timeline, or the See Also section.
  • There are four images of the letters and a diagram, but no images of the people involved. Find images of Tom Brokaw, Steven Hatfield, some FBI agents involved, some victims, ect. Make sure that they are alright by Wikipedia image copyright standards.
  • Make sure that all claims are referenced. Except for the lead section, every claim in a truly great article should have at least one reference to back it up.
