Ellice's Peer Review

Intro-

 The intro needed more detail and I didn't find that the slogan to be fitting in the introduction. I deleted the slogan and added more to the introduction *the founder, year and elaborated on their definition of Hope For The Day

History-

The history had too much flowery language, so I cut out unnecessary words and phrase, also parts of the history did not sound neutral. The history also includes details about the short film HFTD made which is not fitting to be in the history section of this wikipedia page. The author also talks about these partnerships in detail, in a different section of this wikipedia page so it is unnecessary to comment on the partnerships twice. I included the slogan at the end of the History portion. 

Sip of Hope- Fixed small grammatical issues and wording, small wording issues made the section too wordy and had a lack of flow. The last sentence of the "Dark Matter" entry was omitted because it was unnecessary.

• Boucher and Dark Matter owner Jesse Diaz planned years prior to open a business like Sip of Hope.*

Partnerships The first sentence needed to be more specific when introducing the partners of HFTD Fixed grammatical errors in this sectioned changed wording so the page would seem more neutral PEERvention Workshop I have added a whole section based on the source I found. This source talks about monthly health workshops HFTD puts on for the community on the Northside. This source did not fit in any of the sections already made by the authors so I created one. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/november-peervention-workshop-sponsored-by-moon-rise-tickets-50370518577?aff=erelexpmlt

Over all the whole article was very detailed and I can tell the authors took time looking up different sources on this organizations. The article did very well with the partnership section, this section was very detailed and was concise. I would suggest the author try to use language that was more neutral, whole reading this wiki page I could tell their was a positive bias toward the organization. Also even though the details were helpful some where not necessary and made the wiki page less concise. These changes would be an improvement because the page would get straight to the point and make the page read more smoothly. The most important thing the author could do to improve this article would be to remember to remain neutral while writing the article and to avoid inserting unnecessary details about the organization that hold no substance. My own article did not mention the partnerships my organization in such a precise way, this section will be applicable to my own article. ECM32 (talk) 18:00, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Viviana Rodriguez Peer Review

Overall the article is good with supportive articles and resources. The sectioning of the article captures what was mentioned in the history. The wording was neutral although there was some points were it was vague which I made changes to. Make sure to refrain from using wording such as "and more" or when talking about the partnerships make sure to mention those that were involved. The resources were well-balanced with no presence of bias when used in the text. Changes were made to wording to refrain from the PR language. Remember to not sound like you actually like the organization, but rather just stating facts.

Edits made:

• Lead

– Is straight to the point but after reading the rest of the article I do suggest adding more about them helping the cause of suicide prevention through not only mental health education, but self-expression platforms as well. I made the edit to support the rest of the article such as the musical and art events.

• History

– some of the wording was not informative enough such as including sentence endings such as "and more" (be more specific). I removed this ending – "putting it on the map" sounds PR, so I changed the wording

• Sip of Hope

– added new citation that had more details about the creation of Sip of Hope.

– added new sentence to include the founder of Dark Matter Coffee, Jesse Diaz. --Vrodr3 (talk) 00:10, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

PEER REVIEW Hchaud9

I Changed the “Dark Matter Coffee” section and combined it into 1. I Changed paragraph structure and introduced a partnership with "Dark Matter Coffee" beforehand to introduce more of the history of it before going into detail about the mental health resources because it was a little unorganized going from the history and having 2 short sentences about "Dark Matter" and senator Dick Durbin.

I removed “Sip of Hope provides staff counselors which are made accessible to the public to help with mental health issues that customers may be facing” this sentence was edited by me but I decided to remove it because it is saying the same as “Sip of Hope staff are trained and certified in Mental Health First Aid to help individuals who are living with mental health challenges. Which is just one sentence before it.

Removed “Mental health awareness” header and just left it as one paragraph with "Sip of Hope" as the header because the paragraph is about more than just mental health.

“there” to “their” under Beartooth section. “markting” to “marketing” + other spelling and grammar errors within the page.

Added blue links throughout paper for readers to reference.

Removed “Dark Matter” from partnerships since it was mentioned in the paper before. This is something that could be put back into partnerships but I think it would be better to put it at the top of the partnership list if you decide to do this.

I added another source to the paper which is a WGN podcast where one of the founders for "Sip of Hope", Carl Evans discusses Hope for the Day and the work Jonny Boucher did at Vans Warped Tour. I introduced this source because it seemed relevant to include in the partnerships section of the article. It also gave information to add in the history about where else Jonny shared the message of the organization.

Overall, there were some grammar and sentence structure issues and wording that was not neutral. The article seems biased and it appears as though the writers are in favor of the program rather than writing a neutral page. I do like the programs that were included and how in depth the article was. There are some sentences I removed because they were repetitive. I believe that the lead could be longer and include more than the slogan. I also reconstructed sentences to what I thought might sound better and concise. I enjoyed reading this. Great work!
