Peer Review

Hey! I found out that your topic is really interesting. Your information is easy to read then understand. Also, you should put in preferences behind the end of the paragraph for people to find information sources easier. Moreover, you should fix the 4th source. Everything else is good, you can expand more information on the topics through more researches. I'm looking forward to reading your full article. Khoamac (talk) 06:53, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Draft feedback

Hi Alysha!

I've just read your article draft, and you're adding some strong content that definitely improves the article! My biggest suggestions as you continue drafting, revising, and adding to this material are: --ideas for things that could still be added...what did this change, policy-wise, compared to previous drug-focused legislation? Have legislative efforts in the last 30 years changed how this law is applied or made it obsolete? What has enforcement of this law looked like? Has that looked the same for the last 30 years, or have there been spikes and dips or differences in how it is enforced (if you find information that there have been differences, does it give a sense for what those differences were/are)? Was there specific relevant context that led to this becoming law in 1988? --your instinct to work directly with the text of the law is a great one. It would also be good to look for appropriately credible articles analyzing/discussing the application and/or implications of the law. This would help you write a more complete article on the topic, and drawing from a range of good sources almost always strengthens a piece of writing. --be careful to only make statements that are supportable by your sources and fit the narrow scope of an encyclopedia article (the first sentence in the "History" section is an example of a too-broad and unsupported claim that doesn't quite fit this kind of writing, as is the persuasive stance about why this topic is important in your lead paragraph).

I hope these are useful notes as you continue your work on this article--I look forward to seeing what you add to it! Nicoleccc (talk) 18:23, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
