Test Sentences

A crime rate in the United States is determined using the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) or National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) as well as the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). Studies have shown, communities that remain uninvolved in policing experience enhanced levels of fear and anxiety of criminal activity.MikeTOwen (talk) 20:18, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Peer Review

5A. If we read the article history correctly, your current revision only shows that 150 words have been added. In order to meet this criteria in the Wikipedia basic assignment add another 200 words, perhaps pertaining to how the alienation among police officers actually effects community policing, as you alluded to in the talk page.

5B. We think you do a fantastic job at staying on topic and giving a nice overview. You don't go into too much detail, which is essential for Wikipedia articles. Good Job!

5C. Your addition doesn't sound biased. However, it might be a good idea to add another possible way to evaluate the effectiveness of community policing so that more than one viewpoint on the matter is presented.

5D. Referencing looks good. Everything that requires a citation has one.

5E. The research is not original. Good work. You don't try to create a new argument.

5F. For the most part we don't see any issues in mechanics or copyright laws. It may be beneficial though to fix the sentence "Due to the fact that there is no universally accepted definition of community policing and policies vary widely between departments there is also no universally accepted criteria for evaluating community policing". To us, it sounds a bit awkward.

5G. Where you added information it flows fantastically with the previous paragraph on evaluating community policing. Nicely organized.

5H. Your addition complies with the style guidelines. No issues.

5I. You did not have any Wikilinks applied. Honestly, there are not really any places where you can add any.

5J. There is an image added to the article, but it does not appear to be uploaded by anyone in your group. To fulfill this requirement add another image that is properly cited or perhaps a table or figure related to your addition. Johnwandrey (talk) 23:36, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Professor Review

5a. You've added 150 words so far, so you still need to add 200 words to meet the 350-word minimum. Adding to the section on alienation, as you've suggested would help meet the word count, although it might not be enough. I'd also suggest looking through suggestions that others have given on the article talk page about new sections to add or existing sections that need substantial additions.

5b. Your revisions so far focus on the topic and don't go into unnecessary detail.

5c. Your revisions so far represent viewpoints fairly and without bias.

5d. Your revisions so far accurately references the information.

5e. Your revisions so far do not include original research.

5f. Your revisions so far are well-written and follow copyright laws.

5g. The article flows well so far.

5h. Your revisions so far comply with style guidelines.

5i. You haven't yet included any links to other Wikipedia pages in your revisions. As you add more information, be sure to link to other Wikipedia pages that are mentioned in the text you add.

5j. Your page is somewhat unique among pages used for this class because there's already an image on the page. The suggestion in the peer review to perhaps include a chart, figure, or table is a good one. As you add more information, consider what kinds of images, charts, figures, etc might make the article more visually appealing.
