You have not followed the directions for this assignment, which was supposed to be linked to the appropriate section on my Talk page. I have made some edits to show you what kinds of adjustments need to be made, but there are some bigger problems with the article. The main one is that you fail to distinguish between nonfiction and fiction, legend (if it actually exists) and fantasy. Did Akakor exist before Brugger's book about it? Is it a real, historical or archaeological site or something imaginary, from a work of fiction? You do not distinguish between the details provided by Brugger and the Indiana Jones film and facts that exist outside of these works. You refer to some places that are real and some places that are fictional without distinguishing between the two. You also refer to some historical individuals who were real, such as Francisco de Orellana, without distinguishing between fact and fiction. Since being able to tell the difference between fantasy and reality was one of the main goals of critical thinking for the course, this assignment reveals the opposite of what I expected. It is essential to distinguish between real facts and ones that were created in the context of imagination or fantasy. Hoopes (talk) 22:08, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
