Proposed Modifications to Content and Sources
[edit]This article is currently in its rudimentary stages, and there are many aspects of the text that have room for improvement. For instance, the subsections "India" and "Ukraine" only link to other articles and contain no accompanying information. If they are truly relevant topics, a brief summary of the information, as it pertains to illegal mining, should be included. Alternatively, the "India" and "Ukraine" subsections could be removed, and the links could be relocated to the "see also" section. Additionally, a greater depth of information would improve the quality of the article. Perhaps this could include a more thorough leading description of illegal mining, a reorganization of regional illegal mining highlights, and the inclusion of additional relevant subtopics.
Many of the sources lack proper credibility and are from news media or non-academic sources that are more susceptible to bias. More credible publications should be added to provide better support for the current information as well as expand the depth of the article. Three of the seven references are linked to Mining Africa, which suggest an unbalanced distribution of sources. --Rsoni22 (talk) 02:48, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
