Article Choice
First off, is this (intellectual property, copyright, etc.) your area of "expertise"? That's fine, but remember you may choose any articles that correspond with your expertise — they do not have to be about writing. That said, none of these articles appear to be in need of much editing, especially from a neophyte Wikipedia editor. You should choose articles that need help, like Christina.mcdaniel's choices. The best candidates will have a box at the beginning stating where the article is deficient. You are more than welcome to edit any of those you present, but it might be much more difficult and might attract unwanted attention by more seasoned editors. Does this make sense? -Grlucas (talk) 13:50, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Peer Review
Overall, I think you did rather well with your edits for "Personal Computer". However, I do think that some improvements can be made. Your first edit regarding system software can be edited. I'm a bit confused of the overall topic of that paragraph. Are you discussing "Application software" or "System Software", or are they technically the same? Im not a big on computers, so I think that some clarification needs to be added there, or just the discussion of one of those terms. For your second edit where you added the citation for architecture, the reference is a well researched, scholarly article. For your third edit and fourth edits from the "Processor section" are excellent! I like how you simplified the section and made it one clear un-biased sentence, good job!

Peer Review Response
Thank you Larry for your comments on my "Digital Literacy" revisions. You do make a very good point in that I need to focus more on the characteristics of Digital Literacy, instead of the platforms that a person can use to test their literacy skills. When I went back to reread the sections I edited, I realized I was focusing more on the platforms that can help with literacy skills. As for the definition of digital lieracy, I think you did a good job revising and trimming the definition down, but I feel like more can be added because I believe digital literacy is more than just how well a person can write. To me, digital literacy includes an individuals ability to write on the web, using various platforms to help showcase these skills and better the writer.

Response to peer review
Thanks for the great response to the "Personal Computer" article. To answer your question, there is a slight difference in that application software is a set of programs designed for tasks operations, and system software is what application software runs from. Both afford a computer the ability to access and use the software installed on them. For instance, Microsoft Suite is a set of application software that has Word, Power Point, Excel, and Access with it all as one "suite" of software applications that are run from the computers "system” software. As for the references, each was found to be reliable, thank you for the response!
