This is my sandbox Cantstavwontstav (talk) 04:10, 14 February 2018 (UTC) This will be the shard sandbox for the article "Bribery" Cantstavwontstav (talk) 04:12, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Stav's ideas
On the talk page, the biggest issue seemed to be that one of the references was blacklisted, the additional resources added by other users do support the points of this article though. When taking a look at the resources section there seemed to be about three links that did not work that were not mentioned on the talk page. The external links seemed to work fine though, I did not come across another error link.
 * Revise Bribery- Check citations

Otherwise the article seemed like a good explanation of what bribery is. The only thing I noticed was that A lot of the examples were things Americans would understand, it seemed a little culturally biased. I am assuming an American wrote this but it is geared towards Americans so I can only assume when it is translated or other English speakers read this things wouldn't make as much sense, it wouldn't be as clear.

 * Explanation

Revising the article ideas
When taking a look at the resources section there seemed to be about three links that did not work that were not mentioned on the talk page. Specifically, reference 6 under “tax treatment”, reference 9 under “medicine” and 15 under “Prevention”. “Politics”, “noble instances” and “rejected” don’t have citations at all. “Sport corruption” cites another wikipedia article, which is not a reliable source. May have to delete "Noble instances" and "Rejected" if I can't find sources that corroborate that there was in fact bribery involved- would maybe add different subsections or add new examples. Looking for close paraphrasing/ Plagiarism: Under “Forms” uses the exact sentence “"Bribery around the world is estimated at about $1 trillion (£494bn)..” from http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6288400.stm. It has a citation in the form a reference but it doesn’t seem to be cited to say this is an exact quote. Cantstavwontstav (talk) 03:52, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

https://milnepublishing.geneseo.edu/good-corporation-bad-corporation/chapter/10-corruption-in-international-business/  - corruption in business article has both information on business bribery as well as notable examples on a wider scale (from Germany, The U.S, The U.K, France Japan and so on)

Need more sources about what is not considered bribery. Under "Forms" the article there is a paragraph of translations of the word bribery with no source, it also seems somewhat unnecessary without context. I took a look at the "notable instances" section and realized that nothing is referenced because everything is linked to another Wikipedia page, this is not correct and must be looked into source by source or have a source that lists examples.
