Dear Nick et al.,
I have read through the draft of your paper on the E asymmetry in K+Sigma0
photoproduction from g14 and include my comments below. Most of my comments deal with
grammar/style. If you have any questions, let me know.
Regards,
Daniel

General:
- You are not consistent through with handling speed of light units c. I suggest you choose a presentation
format with c=1.
- The PDG recommended some time ago a new way to list resonances that you should be using throughout.
See http://pdg.lbl.gov/2019/reviews/rpp2019-rev-n-delta-resonances.pdf.

- Fig. 2. There is too much white space on this plot. I recommend that you dial in the x-axis and y-axis ranges
to allow the kinematic range of interest to stand out more. e.g. x-axis between 0.7 and 1.5 GeV and y-axis
between 0.8 and 1.7 GeV.

- I believe that Refs. [40] and [42] should be footnotes in the body of the text and not references.
