Draft additions to tiny house movement
editHi, Kmak16. Sorry for the delay. I've examined your draft additions to Tiny house movement. I have a few suggestions:
- Convert your references to inline citations so that editors and readers can tell which claim is associated with what source.
- Wikipedia does not normally have section titles like "Benefits of X", since those can be hard to make neutral. Further, the second paragraph includes some sentences which are probably not what a reader may be expecting. "In 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated thousands of people along the Gulf Coast, and again in 2007-2008 the economy came to a fall during a financial crisis in the United States ." This (and other general statements about the US housing market) may be true, but the encyclopedia shouldn't be advocating for someone to take a particular course of action. The sources you're citing may draw the connection between the US housing market and the tiny house movement as a reaction to it, but a reader (especially one reading the page in a few years or from another country) might consider it a bit parochial.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you need a hand. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:31, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
