Hi Zlittle95, I read through some of your edits on the Aversion Project page as well as your sandbox to see what you edited overall. I think the information added is useful and helps add clarity, the source information about the lead doctor is particularly informative and adds to the relevancy/ clarity of the topic tremendously. The one minor thing I saw was a capitalization error in the title of one of the headings. A major critique that might be worth investigating is the data regarding the project. Although you showed that the intention was to help heterosexual white males, it's hard to know if this was done in reality. Maybe directly stating the number of people "treated" and how the ethnic breakdown actually played out would help, as well as showing how this policy effected the target demographic. I think it could be useful (or rather I would like to know) how many white males were able to avoid the military due to this, and how it negatively affected the black South Africans in particularly so that way it relates better to our class and topic. I think you've added and changed a bit to increase clarity and voice, I just think showing how it effected black people compared to white people would make it more relevant to our class.

Thank you for your suggestions. I do believe that the ideas you presented would be helpful to the article. However, because the Aversion Project itself is something that is not widely spoken about there is also little scholarly information available on the topic. With that being said all of the information that I could gather up about the topic has been included in my subsequent edits. The original creator of the Wikipedia Page had already cited a lot of the available scholarly sources, I only added the few others that I could find in order to provide more clarity to the facts.
