Samuel's Peer Review
As a first draft, this is a relatively good start. You are linking to other articles, dividing the whole thing into sections, and have gathered some good sources - all of which are good things to do. Obviously, I have some recommendations for you to work with, but nothing I'm sure you didn't already plan on. First, it might be a good idea to add a "FLN" subsection to the "Background" section, just to provide some context for them. Second, the intro section, and especially the voting percentages and other factual claims included in it, requires some form of citation. Also, words like "just" (eg. "just 0.28%...") might go against the neutral tone you want in a Wikipedia article. Similarly, in the "Background" section, you might want to rephrase the "French forces used brutal means..." to be more like "The French repressed Algerians in ways some viewed as brutal..." just to maintain that neutral veneer. Lastly, just as a final small thing to do, Charles De Gaulle does have a Wikipedia article you can link to. Have a good time writing the rest of the article!

This is a very interesting topic that I have never heard about. I think the article does a good job at explaining the background to the 1962 Algerian independence referendum, but this could definitely be expanded upon. I think that there is room for improvement in the results section. The sentence under the “Results” heading is a question, and I am not sure what you are trying to do with that. The Results section needs more information, but I am sure you are working on that. I think that the most important thing you can do to improve the article is just adding more information, and more sections. I think once you start doing more research and putting the article together, this will come easily. There are few sections in this article; there is only a "Background" and "Results". So far, the structure makes sense, but I think that as the article is developed there will be more sections that can be added. As a reader, I would want to have more detailed information about the causes of the referendum. It would also be helpful to learn more about the violence. It might be helpful to create a section about violence, and include statistics. You also mention the National Liberation Front but do not explain it. This term seems to be play an important role in the referendum so it might be helpful to expand upon it.
