GA Review

edit

This article does not meet the Good article criteria and has therefore failed. Issues include:

  • The article is marked as a stub, which means that it can still be expanded. This leads me to believe that it is not comprehensive enough.
  • WP:LAYOUT: "See also" goes before "References"
  • The article is poorly organized. For instance, shouldn't bullet points be used in "Theoretical Strategies"? Also, why are there sometimes two line breaks instead of one between paragraphs?
  • Per WP:MOS, please do not capitalize every word in a section's title (unless it is a proper noun)

Some more comments are below:

  • The examples and "Important representatives of macrosociological theories" in the lead should be moved to the body because they are not mentioned elsewhere. The lead should only be used to summarize what already exists in the article's body, per WP:LEAD.
  • For the numbered list in "Aspects of Macro-Sociological Methodology" please use the # notation to create numbered lists, like:
# Item one
# Item two
# Item three
  • Bold formatting should be used sparingly in the article; it should only be reserved for the lead unless in special cases, per MOS:BOLD.
