Prose review

• Internal conflicts: "seven conflicts ended in 2001" - do you mean in 2002?
  • Changed to "had ended", the conflicts ending in 2001 is why there were fewer conflicts in 2002.
• Link a hostage crisis instead of hostage crisis.
  • Done.
• Art and architecture: "The architecture world focused on the rebuilding of the World Trade Center" - I find it kind of hard to believe that the entire architecture world's main focus was that on that, could you rephrase (or send source)?
  • Changed to "was a major focus"
• Popular media: "country music and hip-hop music" → "country and hip-hop music"
  • Done.
• I think it could be mentioned that The Eminem Show was the best-selling album in 2002, as said in lead (right now, it's just "Globally, the best-selling albums in 2002 were The Eminem Show by Eminem, Let Go by Avril Lavigne, and the Elvis Presley greatest hits album ELV1S: 30 #1 Hits."). If you know the highest-grossing film, I think that could be mentioned in the lead as well.
  • Done and done.
• Sports: Worth mentioning the 2002 Winter Paralympics?
  • I figure that would be better covered at 2002 in sports since it's not a top-level sporting event.
• Economy: Weary about the phrase "correcting from", are there better alternatives?
  • Changed to "recovering from", open to other wordings.
• Link "information technology" and "telecommunications"?
  • Done.
• Environment and weather: "in Australia" → "in Australia"
  • Done.
• "western United States" → "the Western United States".
  • Done.
• "The Kitulo National Park" → "Kitulo National Park".
  • Done.
• Link El Niño?
  • Done.
• Health "ebola" should be capitalized.
  • Done.
• Politics and law: "leaving it unable to fulfill its usual role of seeking action against alleged cases of systemic human rights violations around the world" - not sure if this is WP:NPOV.
  • Removed.
• Possibly link warlords.
  • Done.
• "A wave of social pension reform took place in European nations, with Finland... and Switzerland all in various phases of implementation." - Not sure about the use of the word "in", which suggests present tense, maybe "having been in"?
  • Changed to past tense.
• "Similar reforms took place in Japan and Singapore." → "Similar reforms also occured in Japan and Singapore."
  • Done.
• Religion - "most prominently by Muslim attack" → "most prominently by a Muslim attack" - also, the article said the cause was disputed, so I would hesitate about calling it a "Muslim attack".
  • Changed to "an attack".
• Link to Godhra train burning, probably from "a Muslim attack on a Hindu train car".
  • Done.

Source review

• [13] Y
• [21] Y
• [28] Y
• [34] - Not sure it's specifically said that "Typhoon Rusa was the deadliest typhoon in 2002", just that it was the deadliest in South Korea.
  • Fixed.
• [38] Y
• [49] Y
• [89] - Source states 18 were killed, the Wikipeia article states 17, citing this - looks like it's 18.
  • Changed to 18.
• [137] Y
• [9]:1 Y
• [9]:506 Y
• [8]:221 Y
• [8]:352 Y
• [8]:228 Y

Other criteria

• Images checked, all good - mostly Public Domain, CC BY-SA 3.0, CC BY 4.0, etc. Criteria 3-6 good too. Earwig doesn't want to work but as main source is offline it probably won't be much use anyway :).
