This is a very well put wiki page! I can tell there was much thought on how you were going to organize this page. You had a very strong introduction with stating relevant information like operating income of Jamaica and talking bout its main issues like debt and deficits. Reading through it, I noticed you put a lot of quotes in all sections on the page. I would try to write more of your own words, or else it looks like your wiki page is just filled with a bunch of citations. I also think you should leave more link citations in the paragraphs. I would also try to focus on representing the current projects more. You gave a lot of information on the historical background of Jamaica but gave little information to the actual projects themselves. I think you have a solid wiki page and foundation to work on. When you work more on the World Bank projects and results sections, you will definitely have on of the best wiki pages in class!

Peer Review

[edit]

This is a well structured article. It was easy to tell from the first couple articles that you would be explaining the involvement of the World Bank in Jamaica. You made it clear that you were going to discuss how much lending Jamaica has received, the type of projects that lending supports, and what future projects may look like. The chronological structure of your page makes it easy to follow along with. The incorporation of tables and images, along with links to key terms are great tools to keep the reader engaged. You chose a good topic to examine because I could not find much information regarding the World Bank and Jamaica anywhere else on wikipedia. I think that you did a great job of highlighting major ideas while still keeping the article general enough to understand the role of the World Bank in Jamaica as a whole. You wrote in a very objective fashion which is crucial for providing accurate and unbiased information on this platform. The references are also impressive. You definitely went above and beyond in this department. That strengthens your article greatly. Good work on this article.

The importance of the topic is clearly shown and concisely presented with additional supporting information incorporated into the main introduction paragraph.  The lead paragraph signposts the important points to be made in the following paragraphs and relates to them before further elaborating about these points in the body paragraphs below. There were various embedded links to other relevant pages involving subjects related to Jamaica and its institutions.  You over 10 paragraphs were extensive and detailed and included vast amounts of details that were very informative, as well as structured in such a way that it was easy to follow and understand.  Your page is clearly categorized as being under the WB and not confused with the IMF page in any way.  The primary sections with the most amount of relevant information are described in the most amount of detail and the length is appropriate.  This article has no opinion based language nor does it seem to push the reader towards any agenda it is neutral.  The structure that this article was written is very omniciantly stated and is mostly just comprised of factual statements.  The well over six sources were authoritative and credible as well as varied.  The references were also properly formatted and all listed in the reference section as required, and lastly but most importantly the article was written in plain english in his own words.  Jose Cajero (talk) 01:42, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
