1.)	You are very consistent with making sure every sentence has a reference. All of your in-text references coincide accordingly with the ones listed in your works cited.

2.)	The language used throughout your edit is definitely neutral. It is well-written and filled with lots of factual information about the Philadelphia Marathon.

3.)	When reading your edit, I found no statements that appeared to be opinionated in any way. Everything seemed to be directly related to the subject matter, informative, and opinion-free.

Great Job Liz! This edit will definitely be a nice contribution to the Philadelphia Marathon Wikipedia Page. Hollyferet (talk) 21:23, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
