Welcome!

Hello, As!28, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Peer Review

Hey Ari! I'm the peer reviewer of your article, and I just got done reading it - I think it's really good! I'm just going to critique it in order, because that makes the most sense to me, so here it goes. (Some of this may be kind of nitpicky, so I'm sorry for that - I've been on Wikipedia for a while, so some things just tend to jump out at me as an editor))

• "Cuisine" in the title shouldn't be capitalized
• I think "general food" is a kind of weird descriptor. Just food works fine, I think!
• Saying Chile is "very rich" in this sense kind of lacks neutrality; maybe just say that its food reflects its history without the modifier?
• New header for economics section
• No need to define GDP - perhaps you could link to the article about GDP instead? (And perhaps to the article about the Chilean economy, too?)
• Again, "staggering" lacks neutrality.
• Does it export all that food because of the $16 billion per year, or is it the other way around? I'm really asking - the other way just makes more sense to me. If it's not the other way around, perhaps that sentence could be worded better.
• Is the bit about language and culture being the reason why South American food is so similar sourced, or is that a conjecture?
• Pollo, not polio (but that gave me a good laugh)
• German architecture in Chile is interesting, but probably not relevant to this article.
• Maybe get to the point a little bit quicker in the last section - you spend a lot of time talking about the shape of the country and not a lot talking about how that affects the cuisine.
• Your sources are all pretty bomb, but make sure you're linking to the actual articles, not to where you found the article. I clicked the links, and they took me to either Temple Summons or Gale Group - they should take the reader directly to the source material. Make sure you use all of them, too! I know this isn't done yet, but make sure you use all of the sources and not just the four you've cited so far!

In general:

• Only capitalize the first word of the article and of the sections and other proper nouns - don't capitalize words in between, even if they're nouns, verbs, adverbs, or adjectives.
• Check your spelling and grammar. Some run on sentences, one improper use of "their," and some other issues that I'm sure you'll find yourself when you read the article again. :)

On the whole, though, this is a really good framework for a really informative article. Your sections make sense, most of the information is relevant, and I already learned a lot from this article, and it's not even complete yet. Keep up the good work!

See you in class tomorrow!
