Peer Review - Mehayla
Hey Leila! My name is Mehayla and I am in your GPP 115 class. I'll be reviewing how your wiki project is coming along! Before I start however, I must say that your page is very well organized and layed out.

Area
Exarchia

I am assuming you're going to be working with refugees in Greece? I am interested in how anarchism ties into this, is the community anarchist? I agree with you that the article needs a lot of work in terms of development. The historical formation is extremely brief and there aren't many sources.

In terms of expanding the article one idea is maybe creating a list of local venues of places in Exarcheia and their significant to the community would be a valuable source? Making it separate from that of tourist features?

Also to expand on the community, and to help in your preparation for you PE, would making a section about how this community functions around Greek politics be beneficial? Like how much sovereignty does this group have in how the country is run? Does the community benefit or burden from policies that form the neighboring area? You already have major historical events such as the polytech uprising and the 2008 riots which is great! It seems you already have a good bases to build on for the area history. Like you mentioned though, it is greatly defined by the areas political demonstrations. To move away from that a little I included some sources below:

Here's an article on the 2008 event - https://read.dukeupress.edu/social-text/article-abstract/27/4%20(101)/97/32741

This maybe helpful in the formation of the (political) history of the neighborhood - http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/3120/

The formation of socio-economic tension in Athens through 'comodity fights' and the formation of zones (i.e. migrant free and fascist free) https://search.proquest.com/openview/10e88fa5ea6914d8d313d61d9d404c34/1?pq-origsite=gscholar&cbl=1806338&casa_token=p3HbenDylWUAAAAA:jKDwKPbYz4u-xSLxut54TjiqgYnbDU10MNEuFlNtzGPDny3G3oUwGJI6Y5glgRGXXJkGBSW3e-9F

Lastly, I think including migrant communities within this area is a perfect intersection of your area and sector. It will also be very helpful for giving context to current Exarchia.

Asylum in the European Union I think identifying why this article has been so hard to approach for others maybe helpful, as it was nominated for clarity, neutrality, and clean up seven years ago. My own opinion of the article is too concise. The main summary at the very beginning is slightly confusing and could be better worded so that it is explaining the policy to someone with less background in international policy. There could be a much more detailed description of the relevant laws and procedures. Not just where or why they are, but an accurate description of what they are and what their effect is.

Most of the articles cited are from within the European Union, an outside perspective and analysis maybe be helpful in better increasing the pages neutrality.

Athens Polytech Uprising I know you are writing about this under Exarchia. If you're interested in additional editing this maybe helpful for other to add what you've read/researched. This page could use a lot of work as there are two sections which greatly lack citation, despite information being provided. Some of the sources you have in your bibliography would have information that could be helpful in confirming and giving a broader perspective to the article.

Sector
Refugee Camps I think this article will greatly help you in preparing for your PE as being a refugee is a very unique experience and you need to have this understanding and knowledge to better empathizes with people you work with. You are right in arguing for a more holistic view for representation of Greece. With that thought in mind, do you think it would be beneficial to include sections on why some places don't have camps? and why? There's also not section on either North or South America. Also you mentioned current issues that are under represented in this article. Do you think starting a section for current problems would be beneficial? I am interested in what other inappropriate ways you think the European crisis is addressed?

Adding mental health to the health section is a amazing idea! I've added some links below to help out.

Refugee childrens mental health/displaced to high income countries - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0140673611600512

An ethnographic study within African camps - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1034/j.1600-0447.2000.102003171.x

Here's a book that specifies mental health for those who go to a resettlement country - https://books.google.com/books/about/Refugee_Mental_Health_in_Resettlement_Co.html?id=7epxQgAACAAJ

Some problems I also noticed were:

The entire section on arrival conditions doesn't have a citations. I found a source on the health conditions upon arrival for camps in Australia. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1440-1754.2009.01550.x

They detail how they are likely get in terms of the camp cite area, but is that the reality? They use the term 'should be' a lot when describing the standard conditions. Yet the criticism section on the camps is just one dudes opinion on abolishing them. It needs to be expand it to be holistic.

Also there is heavy reliance on UN reports for this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mehayla (talk • contribs) 09:59, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
