Alicia great start so far editing and revising the Population Pyramid article. After reading through I can see you have already included some great information. I Think the last paragraph is solid in explaining a stage 2 for the demographic transition and once the appropriate image is added it will be all good. I think it would strengthen this article if you dived into why the data is not completely accurate and why you should consider mean, median etc. Other then that you added insightful and well sourced information. Great Job! Alexander.swanson (talk) 02:53, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Peer Review By MosiurMunna
After close examination of your edit that you plan to make on Population Pyramid, I think people will have better understanding of Population pyramid. I like your idea of explaining the population pyramid and how it could be used to depict dependency ratio and economic status for a country. I liked your idea of giving specific term that can be predict from the population pyramid, but there are some edit that may need to consider. Reading your edit and at the same time going back to the actual article, I fell like you have rewrote few things that already been explained such as ( A population pyramid, also called an "age pyramid", is a graphical illustration that shows the distribution of various age groups in a population (typically that of a country or region of the world)), (Population pyramid often contains continuous stacked-histogram bars). You have mention dependency ratio which is great, but after your definition you may have say high percentage of young population from age 0-15 at the base and high percentage of population from age over 65+ show high there is higher dependency ratio. If you plan on mentioning population momentum, you may introduce it first or could have add a wiki link to get some background information for people who have never heard of it. I hope this is helpful. Thanks! MosiurMunna (talk) 05:57, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Response to Peer Reviews
Thank you Alexander.swanson and MosiurMunna!I will be adding more information about the measures of central tendency and will do better to explain population momentum as you guys have suggested. I hope it will make the article flow better and make it easier to understand. My final edits will be complete by April 11th, so feel free to check in after that to read the new and improved article!

I think the new change to the article made a lot better and clear to understand. There are a lot of improvement on your article. You have managed to improve all the section that we have gave you feedback. Well explain on central tendency and how it important to calculate accurate population. You also did great job on having wiki link for many of the important terms such as sub-replacement fertility level, doubling time, age stratification and population momentum. It’s not important but you may consider adding wiki link to Census Bureau and central tendency and reconsider the first 4 sentence of your final revision. As I have mention in my last feedback, that I feel like you have rewritten few things that already been explained in the actual article. Overall you did some great job and thanks for adding this article.MosiurMunna (talk) 03:26, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi,

I was just looking over your additions to your wiki article, and I must say that I really like the new additions you've made! I like how you tied in various concepts from class and really expanded on those ideas. For example, I like how you explained what kind of information can come from a population pyramid and tied that to concepts such as fertility, population momentum and dependency ratio. Overall, I think your contributions will be very valuable to this wiki article!
