- Check the topic and the Wikipedia entry. Does the information
covered fit for the topic?
- Is the entry written from a NPOV?
- Can you locate any passive sentences? (Hint: Look for the .to
be. verbs.) If so, underline the passive sentences and note
"passive" on the draft? Do you think the passive wording is a
stylistic choice or an accident? Choose one passive sentence and
suggest a way to word it more actively. Which version sounds better -
passive or active?
- Does the author use transitions well within each paragraph? Does
s/he transition from paragraph to paragraph smoothly? Can you suggest
improvements?
- Note any typos or grammar issues.
- What changes would you suggest in terms of content or style?
