Happy to review the article.

As the article is not broad in its coverage, as it only addresses one example of the invention, and discusses that example in copious amounts of detail, I am 'quick failing' it. I would consider seeking to rename the article (something like 'Burt’s solar compass', and creating a more general article about solar compasses.

Examples of sun/solar compasses not featured adequately (or at all in the article) include:

  • Bagnold's compass (ref)
  • Sun compasses in the animal world - already covered by another article (ref)
  • Viking sun compasses (ref)
  • Howard sun compass (ref)
  • The Apollo mission sun compass (ref)
  • Electro-optical solar compasses (ref) (ref)
  • Solar compass apps (ref)

Thanks for the review and hints. This will give me a project to do while I have these Stay Home orders. I will completely rework the article and resubmit later. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:55, 13 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
