= Content = The content produced in this article is both relevant and necessary. All of the information provided is up to date and related to your topic. Some missing information that I saw was under Impacts on people's lives, Cambodia, Laos and Efforts to Negotiate. It appears that information still needs to be added under these categories. For the category Efforts to Negotiate, there is no explanation for what “Mekong River Commission (MRC)” is and why it is under that category. I believe if you add some detail and explanation, it would help the reader understand why it is important.

= Tone and Balance = All of the content added in this article is neutral. I did not and have not seen any claims that were biased towards any particular position. I believe that your viewpoints are on topic and nicely represented. There is great balance in this article from the way it was structured. It goes in order starting on the background of Chinese Dams on the Mekong River then going into how it is impacting lives today. This order helps give the reader get some background information before diving into why it is so important today.

= Sources and References = After checking your references, I can conclude that they are valid and relevant to the material you are doing your project on. There was only one place in this article where I believe credit should have been attributed. I believe that the chart with the list of Dam’s needs some attribution. It looks like a great chart with great material, but I am unsure how you came up with those figures. How do I know that those figures are accurate? Other than adding attribution, I believe that this chart is a great addition to your article.

Additional feedback: For your reference list it would be great to have a live link. This way the reader can easily access your sources.

= Organization = Your content is well written and easy to understand. The way you divided each section into specific categories helps differentiate the material even more for the reader. I have concluded that there are no spelling errors in this article but there are some punctuation errors. These punctuation errors would include adding periods to the end of each sentence. Specifically looking at the sections under Drought in the lower Mekong Basin and Sudden flood events. Overall, the organization of this article is well-done.

= Overall impressions = Overall, I believe that the content produced in this article was very well done. I can tell that there has been a lot of thought, planning and time that went into this article. I believe that the information you put under Devastating Effects of Chinese Dams is relevant and needed in order for the reader to understand the seriousness of why the Dams are so important on the Mekong River. One minor improvement would be to make sure that you credit sources where it is needed. The last thing I would like for you to consider is adding a photo of a dam if possible. I believe that adding a photo would be a great touch. Overall, this article is off to a great start and I am excited to see the finished product.
