Peer Edit Advice

[edit]

Hi guys!! The topics that each person plans to add to on the Stingray page is very clear and organized. Although the topics of research are clear, the article being analyzed and edited is not linked in the sandbox and is difficult to find, since there are many stingray pages. I would suggest putting a link to the article under the Week 6 heading.

There are many sources being referenced in the sandbox, but most of them are not done the way they are supposed to be done for the final draft of the article. I would suggest practicing putting the citations in with the links so they all show up at the bottom of the page in a reference list.

I like the picture ideas that some of the group members have proposed to take during dissection in lab, especially because each person has listed specific structures they plan to dissect from the stingray to capture images for. These will be great supplementation to the information described. Nathan, I think it would be a good idea to find a picture of a stingray skeleton to use for depicting your description of the fins and how they move. People may find it easier to understand the stingray locomotion if they can picture how the internal parts are moving and what they look like.

Azana, there are some spelling and grammatical errors in your draft that can be easily fixed!

Derek, the information in your draft is great! However, I think the heading is somewhat misleading. Although you do talk about the spiracle in the paragraph, the theme for the whole piece seems to be more about respiration than the spiracle itself.

In general, everything looks great. Keep up the good work. Jam7887 (talk) 01:15, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
