Peer Review 2[edit]

Hey Chloe,

Here is my peer review. Lead Section:

  The lead section has a lot of the basic statistics and details of the city such as population and size. I like that it also notes Boston's history which is the source of American history (but I'm biased). I also like that it briefly notes Boston's education and economy.

Structure:

  I would probably go put History after Geography and Demographics. Or at least after Geography. It can be a good segway into the Economy,

Education and Culture sections.

Balance:

  It's already pretty balanced.It's a very comprehension overview of Boston. It has history, economics, demographics, culture, and how Boston stands in the world.

Neutral:

  I think because the article is so extensive and has a lot about every detail about Boston, I think it is presented relatively neutrally. Even our government is written about in a neutral manner beyond noting that Republicans haven't represented a significant portion of Boston in years, but that's a fact.

Reliable Sources:

  A lot of the sources are government documents like the official list of neighborhoods and case studies.Boston has a lot of historical and governmental sources to look at. We've got a rich history and are an educational hub in the United States. There was plenty of content for them to find reliable sources. The article uses them well.
