User talk:ErinPapadimitriou/Data preservation

While I was reading our textbook I came across some implications for data preservation & more information on archives. In Kitchin's textbook look up digital data holdings, archives, and preservation. You could also include more information on principals/guidelines for data preservation

'''First, what does the article do well? Is there anything from your review that impressed you? Any turn of phrase that described the subject in a clear way?''' Hey Erin, great start to your article, it’s is very organized and uses subsections well, which makes it very easy to understand and read. '''What changes would you suggest the author apply to the article? Why would those changes be an improvement?''' For your first sentence in your introduction you want to bold your topic name (we were suggested this in our training). I would take the quotations out because you’re never supposed to direct quote something, it should be far from the exact wording of what the author stated. It needs to be your own words. For the see also section I would hyperlink the topics to their pages, the coding is  with the words inside. I would include more citations even multiple stating the same information so people can see there is a lot of academic material on the topic and see that it is relevant. Also when you mention the main goal of data preservation I would cite that as well. Pervasive language For historical context instead of saying war and natural disasters “has caused this” I would say they are causes unless your source specifically says these are the only causes. When mentioning information like this I would also cite it. I would also cite “Data holdings are generally the storage methods used in the past when data has been lost due to environmental and other historical disasters.” Suggestions for material/questions to answer Are there any drawbacks or disadvantages to data preservation? Can this data be hacked? Are there costs? Underlying infrastructure needed? Who gets to access this data? Is it private? Are there ethical implications addressed? What's the most important thing the author could do to improve the article? I would include a lot more information and make sure that it is all cited so you do not have trouble with editors. Did you notice anything about the article you reviewed that could be applicable to your own article?

I really like how you organized everything and how you used a lot of subsections, I think I will follow the same when finishing mine.
