Hey Jchappuis!!

The main thing with your article is so much more can be added! The article currently on Wikipedia only includes a summary of the event you could add so much more detail. I am sure there is more information about this event seeing it happened in 1996.

Also, some of the rubric requirements are not met by your article. You might want to look into getting more sources, especially scientific articles!!! If you are having trouble finding scientific articles, try using articles about the impact of other oil spills because the north cape oil spill ecosystem problem had a similar reaction.

To make your contribution longer, you could also just elaborate on things you didn't fully explain. One example of this that pops out at me is in environmental impacts you could explain the "complex interconnected nature of marine ecosystems." You could also majorly elaborate on the restoration plan mentioned in the recovery efforts section.

Looking at the current North Cape Oil Spill wiki article you could also talk about the legal action that took place since this was the US's first major oil spill.

These are just a few suggestions I have to make your article a quality, worthwhile contribution for Wikipedia!! I hope it helps!!! Lwebb02 (talk) 00:55, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

B.J.Carmichael Feedback
Lwebb02 has provided good feedback, highlighting the need to continue to develop your topic. Overall, the writing is strong, but there are missing references, particularly peer-reviewed science articles. Support is needed for statements including statistics. What has happened to the area since the spill? Has there been important legislation passed? Consider linking to other Wikipedia pages to further expand knowledge on this issue. The contribution is promising so keep at it! B.J.Carmichael (talk) 20:41, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
