Talk:Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Task Force

Peer Review Suggestions
You have some great information. It just needs a little bit of organization to make it look more like a Wikipedia article.

I would jump to a clear definition of this organization in the first sentence of the article. For example: The Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Task Force is the organization created by President Barack Obama to recover from the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and preserve the ecosystem of the Gulf Coast. Your introduction doesn't need to tell a story. Just briefly define the organization above the contents box and describe its context in the background section.

You should take out words like "vital." We all know the Gulf Coast's ecosystem is vital, but this makes you look biased.

Under "Executive Order" and "Functions," add some bullet points for clear organization of the task force members and their objectives.

Bullet points might be good for the member list and meetings too. I would use a footnote for meeting agendas instead of providing the direct link.

Instead of "Coastal Erosion Information," I might call it "Main objectives" and then explain "Proposed solutions for coastal erosion." You could also mention coastal erosion only briefly and link to its Wikipedia page.

Specific points: Typo-Under "Leadership," don't capitalize "states." I don't think you need "aforementioned oil spill" since you've only talked about one.

Peer Review Continued
Looks great Erin! I thought you had a lot of great information, it was very unbiased and very succinct. I agree with most of Emily's comments, and I also noticed that you had in the introduction that you said that the ecosystem preservation was "more important" than figuring out who should pay for the damages. I don't think it's a big deal, but it just stuck out to me as mayyybe potentially biased. I agree that bullet points might be helpful for discussing the objectives of the task force. Also-- is the point of the task force to deal with coastal erosion in general or coastal erosion as a result of the oil spill? Or was the oil spill the trigger that caught the Obama administration's attention? Overall, I think you've done a great job with it. Ashcarv (talk) 06:26, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
