Peer review
This is where you will complete your peer review exercise. Please use the following template to fill out your review.

General info

Lead
Guiding questions:


 * Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer? Yes.
 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic? Yes.
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections? No.
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article? No.
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed? I found it to be a little too specific for an introduction.  It makes the later sections repetitive because the specific information has already been given.  It maybe needs some more generic information.

Content
Guiding questions:


 * Is the content added relevant to the topic? Yes.
 * Is the content added up-to-date? Yes.
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong? No.

Tone and Balance
Guiding questions:


 * Is the content added neutral? Yes.
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? No.  It mentions the unfairness of slavery throughout York's life, but I feel that is not biased because it is what happened.

 * Check a few links. Do they work? Yes.

Organization
Guiding questions:


 * Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read? It maybe needs some more organization with separate paragraphs to make it easier to read than a large chunk of text.
