A very nice, complete background on the policy of what's happened in Sudan. Reads very neutral.
One recommendation:
Nice job, guys! -- bruindre ( talk) 21:52, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
Very interesting article. My one comment would be to add a sub-header for the "Economic Support Fund" in the "U.S. Policy on Conflict Mitigation and Reconciliation" section. It is an information-rich section that I think would benefit from just a little more structure. Also - can you make a slight change to the graph that accompanies the same section by adding the scale of the funding amount (millions or billions). Dross33 ( talk) 21:25, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
In general, this is appears to be a very thorough and neutral overview of the topic. The only place I got stuck was with the ordering of the sections, though I understand why you chose to have it the way it is. Section 2.1 talks about the creation of USAID and then the article goes on to talk about the funding that's come from the US. It then seems to circle back in Section 4.1 History of Funding for the Program (under the heading of US Policy on Conflict Mitigation and Reconciliation). I wonder if there is a way to talk about the policies before talking about what has actually been done? I just got a bit confused with the financial numbers in each of the sections and how they related to each other (or not). Labrahams ( talk) 21:44, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
I had the same comments as Lauren about ordering of the sections, but also was wondering if there was a more distinct connection between the UN/foreign aid from other nations and US aid to Sudan. The section seemed a little out of place considering the title of the wiki article, but I assume that UN and other aid are all tied up together with US policy? It may help to just make a quick reference to how all of these policies/aid packages relate to each other.
I really like the layout and section that is specific to "Conflict Mitigation and Reconciliation" near the end of the article. I imagine that you've already looked to see if the lead-in info has other pages on wikipedia to which you can link? My thinking is that maybe you can summarize the historical, other foreign aid, and other background info and really focus in on the last section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Krishnadp ( talk • contribs) 23:49, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
I requested a copyedit on this article at Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests#United States policy on conflict mitigation and reconciliation in Sudan. After it is copyedited, I will be requesting a peer review for it. These are just a couple of processes whereby we can receive community feedback on the article.

I suggest changing the article title to United States aid to Sudan. Right now, much of the article is devoted to US aid to Sudan in general and it is not correct to have a shorter section on U.S. policy on conflict mitigation and reconciliation. The policy by itself is not the main gist of the article. As a reader, I view the article more as telling me about US foreign aid to Sudan instead of the policy. So, it's either change the section title from U.S. policy on conflict mitigation and reconciliation to something else and expand the section, or change the article title to United States aid to Sudan.

Per my comments above, I moved the article title to United States aid to Sudan. Bejinhan talks 13:17, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I am Dianna, and I have picked up the article for copy edit fron the WP:GOCE Requests page. Here is information on what edits I did, and why:
Here I moved the pics to positions more usual for Wikipedia and moved the table to the right.
Here I converted hyphens to en-dashes using a script. En-dashes are what is required according to our Manual of Style. -- Diannaa ( Talk) 00:08, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
There are probably lots more, and this is a major problem - it is not acceptable to copy from sources and just change a few words.

The current map of Sudan in the article is outdated due to the creation of the South Sudanese State. I am unaware of how to locate a proper public domain photo to replace it, otherwise I would fix this myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dsd7131 ( talk • contribs) 19:39, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
