draft comments
Otherwise this looks to be a great topic with a lot of sources and relatively little coverage on wikipedia. I'm looking forward to see what you do with it! Please let me know if you have any questions or comments either here or on my talk page. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:23, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey (that's a serious username. :) ), I'm providing online support for your environmental econ class and I had a few comments on your draft:
 * Formatting:
 * Generally references are collected in a "references" section (not the external links section). Just add in a reference section and place the tag there and each time you add an inline citation it will be automatically collected there. You can also add formatted references to that section which aren't inline citations (e.g. )
 * External links are not normally used "inline" (in the body of an article) as you have with this link
 * I think there are a number of great sources out there for this topic which our current article doesn't have. I'd take a look at these articles (those citing the Mendelsohn and Brown article, which is the font of much of the research on the subject). Ideally an article like this should draw from the research on the subject. I didn't see a literature review on the subject out there after a quick search, though there may be one (in which case lit reviews are good sources for topics like this)
 * This is just my opinion but I think you can dispense with the calculation section that our current article uses, at least for now. While such sections can be useful they're often more of a pain to write well than a summary of the analysis and the drawbacks. If you do want to keep and improve that section I'd suggest moving it toward the end of the article so a reader looking for an overview isn't dumped into calculations right away.
 * the "Reliability and Other Factors" is true, so far as it goes, but it describes a problem with any economic analysis (or really any analysis which doesn't arise from a strict experiment). I'd take a look at this article for a more exact criticism of TCM.
 * This is carried over from our article, but I'm not sure the phrase "constant price facility" is all that common (I'm only seeing it on pages that mirror wikipedia's article on TCM).
