Talk:Six Four

Hello Tb3m555! Below is my peer review of your article.

Lead

1. Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic? Yes.

2. Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections? Yes, for most sections but not all. There is no mention of themes or reception in the lead.

3. Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article? No.

4. Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed? The plot summary in the lead may be too detailed.

Comments on the lead: Overall, the lead does a good job at introducing Six Four. It accomplishes its purpose as a brief introduction to multiple factors involved with the book. Two things that can be done to improve the article are making the plot summary more concise and briefly mentioning the themes and critical reception of the novel.

Content

1. Is the article's content relevant to the topic? Yes.

2. Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong? No.

Comments on Content: The content of the article is on par with that of more developed Wikipedia pages on novels. If the authors of the article want to go further, they could add a section on the background of the book that details any inspirations or experiences the author had that affected his writing.

Tone and Balance

1. Is the article written in a neutral tone? Yes.

2. Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position/interpretation? No.

3. Are there viewpoints/interpretations that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? The plot summary and major characters sections are very long compared to other parts of the article.

4. Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another? No.

Comments on Tone and balance: The tone of this article is very neutral. However, the balance of the amount of content is off; the plot summary and character list are very detailed. If the character list is shortened to include only major characters and superfluous details are taken out of the summary, the balance can be restored.

Sources and References

1. Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information? At least one source per paragraph, except the summary. Yes.

2. Are there at least 6-8 sources cited? Yes, there are 9 sources.

3. Is the citation information complete? Yes.

4. Check a few links. Do they work? Yes.

Comments on Sources and references: The references in the article are reliable and come from a variety of sources. There is also a good amount of sources cited.

Organization

1. Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read? The plot summary needs to be more concise.

2. Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors? No.

3. Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into at least 4 sections, including a summary, that reflect the major/interesting points of the novel? Yes.

Comments on Organization: Overall, the article's content is well written. However, the plot summary is very detail oriented, which makes it more difficult to read.

Images and Media

1. Does the article include at least 1 image? Yes, a single image of the book cover.

2. Are images well-captioned to relate it to the article? Yes.

3. Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations? Wikipedia says that the copyright status of the picture is unknown.

Comments on Images/Media: The picture used is relevant and adds to the article, but make sure that it adheres to copyright laws.

Info box

1. Is there an infobox? Yes.

2. Does the info box contain relevant information: title, author, translator, language of original text, publisher, date of publication (original and trans into English)? Yes.

Comments on Infobox: Something that could be added is the length of the novel. It is a common piece of information that is found in info boxes for novels. Also, the English publication date and publisher should be added.

Visually VERY appealing. Well done! The Plot summery needs to be cut in half. And You need more sources under THEMES - remember you are not to analyze, just to report the analysis of others. Someone else has to have identified a theme for you to mention it. Then cite them. *Yseut229* (talk) 21:27, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
