Hi 20Sic semper tyrannis, this is looking really good! The biggest issue I'm seeing is that you're citing Wikipedia articles. Wikipedia is not considered a reliable source because any information can change at any time, and it is not always accurate. Using Wikipedia to cite Wikipedia is known as "circular referencing" (It's true because I say it is, and I say it's true because it is) and should be avoided.

  • Instead of saying "corona crisis" and linking to the disease COVID-19, I would write and link to COVID-19 pandemic, which is the more accurate title.
  • In general, no paragraph should lack citations, and also no paragraph should end without a citation. I see one paragraph lacking citations and a few other ending without citations. Be really clear and explicit with the reader where they can find the information that validates all this content.

After you've addressed these small issues, you will follow the instructions in this training to move your work out of the sandbox and into Wikipedia! Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:23, 6 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
