Hey, your article looks great. You have a ton of really good, in-depth content. The only issues are formatting (distinct paragraphs and titles) and the lack of citations/references. Add those in and you're golden. Also, I was doing the original Lime-Kiln newspaper column so I think Demetria wants us to link or combine our articles at some point.
