reported that 11% of the population, 1.63 million people, are suffering from food shortages), as well as expanding the information about the 2005 food crisis. After the 2005 food crisis, Malawi was on the rise and even had a surplus of maize for some years; interventions by the Malawian government and international organizations (primarily fertilizer subsidy programs for farmers) have allowed Malawi to recover. Recently, however, due to periods of flooding and drought (among other causes), the maize yield has been dangerously low and the food shortage has returned.

statements like “some,” “others,” or “many.” Who are these people? Where is the evidence for the statement “many?” How many? For example, you say that there were many human rights violations during Banda’s reign- what were these? Another area is the first sentence of the “climatological” section, where you say that “Some have suggested...” Who are “some?” I think this would be a good place for an in-text citation. There are a lot of places where you say “some” or “others” (such as the beginning of the “Culture and society” section) and more specificity is needed.

I plan on updating this article as part of my work as a Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities minor at Rice University. As others have noted, this article’s information is out of date. I plan on updating it with more recent information about the current food crisis in Malawi (in 2013, the UN

Great contribution so far! I appreciate your focus on context, and the valuable text, pictures, and external links that you have added. I just have a few areas where I think you could make some revisions. First, one thing your article would benefit from is increased specificity. You often make

Excuse me, but I just saw on the news that Malawi has dramatically increased agriculture recently, and is now exporting food to its neighbors. School attendance is up, and people are feeling good about the future. Why doesn't the article reflect this change?

Along these lines, I think your article could also benefit from more in-text citations. You have a lot of statistics; it would be good to say where a few of them came from in the actual text, as it establishes credibility with readers.
