ARTICLE EVALUATION: Anthropocene

 * Most if not everything in the article is related to the topic in question. The article does a great job of introducing the topic and explains the history behind the conflict of its acceptance. I was occasionally distracted by the fact that the article kept referring to the Working Group on the Anthropocene's proposed votes on whether or not to recommend the name to the International Commission on Stratigraphy.
 * The article remains neutral surprisingly as this topic is very heavily contested and controversial. The language such as the use of the word "implies" and the presentation of the facts are in a very non-persuasive way.
 * The viewpoint that the current ecological change of the Earth is not due to humans is underrepresented. However that is inherently due to the nature of the article and term itself.
 * The links work and the ones that I checked used the citations appropriately.
 * Yes the facts are referenced with academic reports, scholarly journals, and publications from prevailing scientific organizations or field-leading agencies. These original sources themselves do scew towards a bias of blaming humans for the current ecological degradation but they back it up with well written support.
 * Some of the sources could be updated. I found 1994 to be the earliest date of a reference, however some of the prevailing articles of this topic were from the late 90's and cannot be excluded.
 * Since the topic referenced here deals with a time in human history over thousands of years, there seems to be quite a lot of discussion about when to suggest this era began. There are also Talk threads about how to merge this topic with other global warming-type concepts that might further the understand of the Wikipedia readers.
 * The article is a part of both WikiProject Time and WikiProject Geology. It is start class and mid-importance on WikiProject Geology and a start class with no rating on WikiProject Time.

ARTICLE ADDITION: Planetary boundaries in "From Holocene to Anthropocene" paragraph
'''According to Rockström et al., "Up to 30% of all mammal, bird, and amphibian species will be threatened with extinction this century." '''

ANZ Royal Bank

 * A joint venture by ANZ and the Cambodian Royal Group, this stub has little to show for except for a brief description and a sub-heading about a controversy in 2014. It could be benfited by adding more prominent events linked to this partnership.
 * A history section on how this joint venture came about would improve the article.
 * A section devoted to the main investments/operations of this joint venture would allow interested parties to learn more about the operations of this firm.

Crowding out (economics)

 * A key theory in economics, crowding out is a process that all students should be aware of. While typically applied to the crowding out of government on the private sector, this article could benefit from the addition of other examples of crowding out taking place in the economy.
 * The "History" section of this stub could also be expanded to other notable people/events that surround this topic. As it stands currently there is only 1 key point in history that is referenced in this article.

The Economics of John Maynard Keynes: The Theory of Monetary Economy

 * This article only has a small one paragraph description of one of the most influential Economists' books on a key subject. I would like to add more about the key points, reception, and contemporary use of this book on modern economic theory.
 * Additionally, this stub could benefit from links to other, related topics that would further increase the use-fullness of this page.

IMPROVING AN EXISTING ARTICLE: The Economics of John Maynard Keynes: The Theory of Monetary Economy
Background:
 * Below is a list of what I believe I can add to the article to give it more depth
 * Since this is a book written in 1948, there are few sources that I can link to it's page. However, Dillard wrote two other books that could eventually be linked to this one.

Originally published in October 1948, Dillard's book received nine additional prints with the final 10th edition being printed in September of 1961. All editions were facilitated by Prentice-Hall Inc. In the preface, Dillard asserts that the book will cover the "economics of Keynes rather than Keynesian economics (Dillard, vii)." This distinction is essential as this book was published when Keynes' theories were taking grasp within the Economics world and Dillard opted to discuss the ideas of a singular man as opposed to the swirling debates ongoing at the time.

Summary

Throughout the book, Dillard provides summaries and examines Keynes' concepts on employment, income, saving, marginal propensity to consume, the investment multiplier, fiscal policy, postwar inflation, interest, and wages. Keeping in line with Keynesian economics, Dillard discusses the the relationships between an economy's savings, investments, and propensity to undergo a recession. Furthermore, he successfully elaborates on the notion that Keynes was an outlier in this thinking during his time.

Reception:

Since its publishing, the book has been translated into over 10 languages.

Peer Review

Hey Parkerbrown, good start so far. I would recommend relabelling History as "Background" instead. Regarding Reception and Impact, perhaps you could elaborate on how the publication deal for multiple languages came about or how the book has been specifically received in different countries. Have his theories been met with any scepticism by certain readers abroad? I'm sure you could also expand the summary to go a little more in-depth on Keynes' concepts. How do his takes on employment and income differ from the traditional viewpoint held by modern economists? Otherwise, the outline of your draft is solid. AJ94Dubai
