Evaluate the drafted changes
Hi Zhongxi, I enjoyed reading about your topic, as it focuses on a subject I've always wondered about since I consider myself to be a caffeine addict. I found your edit on the 'Addiction vs. dependence' section to be pretty well structured. The content you added under this section reflects the main difference between addiction and dependence that you're trying to interpret to the audience. The content you added towards the ends of the paragraph keeps a neutral tone while also clearing up any concerns people may have with the effects/ symptoms of caffeine withdrawal. You presented this information in a non-biased way and introduced statistics that demonstrate to the reader how the development of caffeine tolerance can lead to sleep disruption effects.

Your sources also looked to be academic journals, so your material reflects the literature on the topic fairly well. You also included a citation on the peer-reviewed article from News Medical & Life Sciences, "Caffeine Pharmacology". This article was published by Dr. Mandal in 2019. Although this source was published around four years ago, its content on the effects caffeine has on the nervous system and the withdrawal symptoms it causes was addressed/ cited accurately in your section of the wikipedia article. Another source that you used was "A critical review of caffeine withdrawal: Empirical validation of symptoms and signs, incidence, severity and associated features" published in 2004. Based on the fact that it published information from over ten years ago, the source may not be as reliable as other alternative articles from more recent years. This is a very minor correction, it would mostly address how the information listed in the article has changed over the years.

The overall organization you incorporated into your draft works well with the tone your wiki article is maintaining. It is concise, clear and gets straight to the point. I feel like the information included works well in answering the viewer's questions or thoughts on the effects of drinking too much caffeine. You include information like how much coffee would need to be consumed to develop unhealthy symptoms of dependence and other information including the ongoing studies being conducted to develop a more concrete understanding of the physiological effects that result from excessive caffeine consumption. Overall, I would say the quality of the content you added was worded and organized pretty well.
