Hey Joe: The article looks solid! Make sure you separate the entry into sections. That will help clarify and simplify the article. Examples of sections could be: Legislative History, Public Reaction, Resistance to the Act, and the Act today.

Also, I would open with a general overview of what the act was and what it accomplished, instead of opening with specific details of the passages within the act. This only needs to be a few sentences, but will provide the reader with the background information necessary to understand the rest of the passage. As it was right now, I had to Wikipedia the current Alaska article to get the basic information.

Be sure to bold important words, add links, and in line citations.

You’ve covered the history pretty well, but it’s difficult to follow because the organization needs work. I think you’re done or nearly done with the research phase. Just refine the article so each section has a clear, central idea that it conveys about the Act.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments on my feedback, or if you want me to look anything over!
