Hi Bethy!

Right off the bat I notice one little thing. In the first sentence when its talking about the PPR being a part of the Great plains, midgrass prairies, and tall grass prairies, using the word "and" to seperate each area effects the flow, try listing them instead with commas. "The Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) is an area of the northern Great Plains, midgrass, and tallgrass prairies" Also maybe go into depth about what these areas are and where they are specifically located (the article does mention later on the specific states that are included in this area but be more specific to help clarify this) Other than that this first section is well organized including lots of information specific to the area, its size, and location.

The third paragraph in this section can be added to. The information is there but I think it will be benificial to the readers understanding if you expand this section a little more. Because these potholes arent connected by surface streams, go more into how water accumulates and explain how they effect water levels.

The last paragraph in this section includes lots of information and facts about the PPR, and how they are threatened. Theres information describing the impact of these diminishing potholes (importance to migratory birds), but what causes these impacts? Agriculture and climate change are mentioned, but what do they cause? what actually happens? how do these things effect the prairie pothole region?

Also, remember to keep adding sources to help you expand your article.

Keep up the good work!:) Gasawyer17 (talk) 20:16, 23 October 2019 (UTC)Gabby Sawyer
