This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because I want some feedback before nominating the article as FAC, so I can improve it to make sure it meets all of the FA criteria, as this could be my first FAC experience.

 * You said you wanted to know what to work on before taking to FAC, so I looked at the sourcing and referencing with that in mind. I reviewed the article's sources as I would at FAC.
 * Newspapers titles in the references should be in italics. If you're using cite news, use the work field for the title of the paper, and the publisher field for the name of the actual company that publishes the paper
 * The following references are laking last access dates and/or publishers, which are the minimum required at FAC.
 * Current ref 36 (HOw to Beat..)
 * Current ref 56 (Brazil invests...)
 * Current ref 68 (It's not even got a link title... needs that too.) (and it deadlinks)
 * Current ref 69 (doesn't even have a link title..)
 * Current ref 71 (Inae Riveras..)
 * Current ref 81 (US Congres..)
 * Per WP:Footnotes, we don't use op. cit. or similar abbreviations.
 * Done using Shortened footnotes, as in these cases is important to point to the specific page number.

 * Current ref 30 needs a publisher at the least. Needs to have the title in italics aslo
 * Please spell out abbreviations in the notes. Yes, they are linked, but you don't want your readers to leave your article, they might never return.
 * Current refs 77, 78 and 79 are in portugese, need to note that in the ref
 * Done!
 * Hope this helps. Please note that I don't watchlist Peer Reviews I've done. If you have a question about something, you'll have to drop a note on my talk page to get my attention. (My watchlist is already WAY too long, adding peer reviews would make things much worse.) 22:17, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
