First Evaluation on the Article

 * 1) Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? -All three sources cited in this article are works written 20 years ago or more. New studies and theories about the Bennett scale can be added.
 * 2) Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? -There's no link for any citation. Besides, inline citations should be added.
 * 3) Do the sources come from a diverse array of authors and publications? -Sources are not diverse. All three sources are from the same author Milton Bennett. Although he is the founder of the theory, more aspects and publications from other scholars need to be included in the article to increase diversity and authority.

CCTP 752 - Peer Review - Fall 2022
For anyone unfamiliar with this idea, this article's structure and ease of reading make it a good starting point.


 * 1) Like Judy commented, the references for the article need to be updated. There's an insufficient number of sources for this article, and all of them are published more than two decades ago. In addition, there’s no in-text citation in the article, which makes reading difficult to identify the source for specific topics. Further, the article lacks citation links.
 * 2) Since the Bennet Scale Pictures or visual aids might help to explain the hierarchical character of the Bennet Scale.
 * 3) The article fails to provide a comprehended view of the topic. Are there any other theories that support or disagree with the Bennet scale? Are there additional recent studies that mentioned the Bennet scale?
 * 4) The sources are heavily biased. All the sources are published by the developer of the theory, Milton Bennet. The article should feature different sources from different authorities.

Peer review by Elinor
Overall, by detailing the traits of people’s reactions and psychological processes at each stage of the Bennett scale, this article has provided a well-structured, straightforward, and clear description of the six "stages". Core concepts are used to structure the entire page. The definitions, which are given in the lead part, prompt me to think about my own cross-cultural communication experiences and so help me comprehend the significance of the theory. Each concept is explained in a straightforward manner without attempting to sway the readers’ opinions in any way. The theory’s creator is the only source at this point, which seems trustworthy but perhaps requires additional diversity to create a balanced picture.

Here are some things that can be improved:

Including a brief overview of the fifth and sixth stages at the end of the second paragraph is one way the introduction may be improved. The paragraph seems to stop abruptly because the theory involves six stages, but only four of them are discussed.

It would be preferable if there was a brief transition before diving directly into the first stage under the Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity section. This might be a method to improve the article’s flow. Also, there appears to be a lengthy, word-for-word quote from the Canadian Center for Intercultural Learning in the third part titled minimization of difference, which may be the cause of Wikipedia's “original research” alert. It could be made better by rephrasing the sentence and including the appropriate references.

Lastly, the section on evolutionary strategies might include a few examples or more explanations to help readers better understand the concepts.
