GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it well written?

   A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

   The introduction is not sufficient. Please summarize like Decline and fall of Pedro II of Brazil or Legacy of Pedro II of Brazil. KAVEBEAR (talk) 05:09, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

   The Exile section does not speak about Pedro in anyway. Looking at Pedro II of Brazil#Last years, the emperor was living in exile in France for two years. Even that part is lacking in details especially for a former monarch living in exile. This should be covered in more detail here than in the main article but it doesn't seem to be even mentioned at all. This is more like a death and funeral article on Pedro II.

   "There was no celebration of the anniversary of his birth on 2 December, with the exception of a simple mass said while he remained in bed, and his daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren in attendance" --- Either name his daughter and son-in-law in this sentence or link it in the later paragraphs. Linking daughter and son-in-law seems odd. KAVEBEAR (talk) 05:26, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

   Please rewrite the Death's repercussions section. This is entirely quotes from the sources. Mainly paragraph 1 and 2 in this section are problematic since they seem to take the quotes directly from the sources. Paragraph 3 and 4 are okay since they mainly list quotations from foreign media.

   There is a disequilibrium in this article. It covers a little too much on the funeral.KAVEBEAR (talk) 05:26, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
